Morning Discussion

According to TVLine.com, Super Bowl XLV was the highest rated event in the sport's history. Based on ratings data the big game tackled 111 million viewers, besting last year's game by 4.5 million sports fans.

The numbers are certainly deserved since XLV was one of the more exciting championship games I've seen in a very long time--in any sport. The outcome wasn't what I expected but it was entertaining from top to bottom.

Actually, there was a terrible bit in the middle where my television started flickering and the sound started to break apart. No matter how hard I hit my television it just wouldn't right itself and, in some spots, started to get so bad I thought my TV was going to break. But then the Black Eyed Peas got off the stage and everything was cool again.

Haiku talked about this yesterday with the Gawker sites.

I looked at them on the computer today and they're not too bad but in an age where tablets are becoming more common place and especially the iPad how is it excusable to when you goto gizmodo default you to the mobile site.

Then when you goto the classic/full site this ugly ass bar is in the middle of your article. Really?!

That just seems inexcusable to me and horribly done.

    It can't be that hard to use the browser strings and other info to differentiate between shit mobile/smartphone/tablet/full experience and modify the design as appropriate. I mean you're talking about the redesign of a whole network of sites, each of which has god knows how many hits per day/users, worth equally silly amounts of money to advertisers and the likes. Surely the fundamental thing they would communicate to the designers was: we want the site to look at its best for the various demographics, especially smartphone and tablet users as they represent a growth area in ad revenues.
