Re: Mobile-specific web pages are usually a UI travesty
"Even El Reg is guilty of this. See those giant empty bands on either side of your widescreen display? Those are there because web designers are too stupid to make the content pane dynamically resize to fit the screen. So readers have to scroll more and read less at a time, because most sites are still based on a horribly ill-fitting fixed-width model of the antiquated print industry."
there has to be an upper limit to how wide a text column will go. have you tried reading text that goes from one edge of a the screen to the other? it's a nightmare. it's what column were invented for in the first place - so the eyes can track where you are in the text easier.
