At least I'm getting pussy.

All third party iOS browsers are a skin over the same system level WebView compontent which is a less performant version of the stock Safari Webkit. Even Firefox on iOS is using Webkit. There's a good explanation here: http://www.mobilexweb.com/blog/axis-opera-mini-alternative-browsers-iphone-ipad

That's pretty much what PPK made of the comments, and there are few people that understand mobile browsers better than him. http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2012/09/facebooks_html5.html

They need a mobile browser to destroy iOS and Android (the current Windows phones have IE9 based browsers). It's hardly realistic but it's how you fit IE9 into that argument.

Yep, I've noticed that ad networks are very good at trying to sell me something I've already bought.

Ironically that's why I switched from Gnome to KDE recently.

Nice - shame I don't have mod points right now.

The Law of Conservation of Ninjitsu works against you here. You need to keep the number of Ninjas low.

The "don't buy" argument is troublesome with Android at the moment - most people I know with Android won't buy from their last manufacturer and, across all these people, pretty much all the manufacturers are on the "don't buy" list. My next Android handset will be chosen on the basis of Cyanogen support first and formost.

+1. I've been using GIMP for over a decade and recently had to start using Photoshop and, when you are used to GIMP, there's nothing intuitive about Photoshop's UI. I'm not saying GIMP is intuitive either but, if you are heavily invested in one program, then trying to achieve even a simple task in the other is going to make the UI seem like hard work.

I've complained to the Advertising Standards Agency about the use of "unlimited" in adverts and their reply was that it's fine to advertise services as "unlimited" if they have "fair use" limits.

I have been using one of those for about five years and love it. I switched to a track ball about 10 years ago when I started getting pain in the tendons on the back of my hand using a normal mouse.

I've also got a keyboard without a num pad meaning that I don't have to reach for the trackball - it sits where the num pad would normally be - and that stopped my right shoulder blade clicking which used to happen when I rotated my arm over the num pad for the trackball.

Simple questions that they don't understand and don't like it when that fact is highlighted publicly.

On the flip side: Being a decent software engineer doesn't make you a good web developer. I've had to deal with a site built by decent software engineers who didn't understand the web and it fell seriously short in SEO, content management, analytics, degradation and a slack handful of other stuff that's second nature to a decent web developer.

I've fixed a broken production website over SSH on a smartphone on several occasions. Sure, it's not my first choice but it sure beats dropping whatever you are doing on your day off and trying to find a computer that you can use, being stuck traveling knowing that you need to fix something and can't do anything about it or trying to talk someone else through it.

I also use it to remote admin several non mission critical servers on a regular basis - again not making wholesale changes but little things that are easier to deal with as and when they occur.
