And what is "content-rich content" anyway? The "translation" is still meaningless without domain-knowledge, but is now far less factual. I guess the content is now less content-rich!


Falls flat on its face as an example of how not to design a website (doesn't display anything in Safara on an iPad).


Yup. Nothing displayed on the iPhone as well.


Odd, works fine on mine. Perhaps the site was just down?


Retracted - working now.


Haha, that was the exact same i was thinking!


Let's see how your mood is when diagnosed with skin cancer! Not that I would wish it in anyone, but intentional exposure to damaging UV when there are safer alternative treatments for SAD does not seem like a sensible course of action.


A few minutes exposure to UV isn't harmful, and is on balance likely benficial.

Put it this way - I would get more UV collecting my mail in summer than you would on a tanning bed for a couple of minutes. And I haven't dropped dead. But a bright sunny day does make my mood brighter.

Vitamin D deficiency and depression are much bigger issues than UV over exposure.


Are you aware that Vitamin D supplements don't actually give you proper levels of activated Vitamin D? It turns out there is a balance of too much UV and too little UV. If you go to a tanning bed for a few minutes a couple times a week, you aren't doing damage, but are activating Vitamin D. It isn't even enough to have a tan.

I know it is tricky, but there are situations where there is no such thing as 0 risk, you have to optimize for minimal. Making 0 risk of one thing frequently increases risk for others. In this case, improper active vitamin D levels increase risk for lots of ailments, far more than a few minutes of UV exposure does for skin cancer.


"Businesses that are already on PC aren't going to budge."

I'll call BS on that. I work for a large multinational with a 20+ year history of PCs in the workplace, and Macs represent a growing proportion of the workforce laptop pool. They still have to be special-ordered, but I've yet to hear a request denied, and IT will support them. Meanwhile, iPads are the incentive du jour, and iPhones have just been added to the approved list, where Nokia and Blackberry once ruled. I have none of the above, but I see the future, and the future is white.

[Edit: And why is everyone talking about servers? There's no mention in the linked article, or the original about servers...]

This is one case where I'm glad to be called BS on!
