Double post I know, but I decided to look at how different sites (my blog, different wikis) look like when viewed with a smartphone.
... Of course, being the sort of person I am, I decided to go one step further. Not content with busting out a smartphone and hitting up its browser (and more influenced by the fact that a smartphone was quite simply out of reach at the time), I just used my PC's browser to view my blog as if it were an Android, and Hatena (thinking I was an Android) sent me the mobile version of my blog... but dang, it was pretty nondescript. Same with some of the wikis I visited - there was some pretty stone-age looking stuff out there. For the record, these forums don't have a unique mobile version, but I'm guessing it's already mobile-friendly.
I wrote about it on my blog, so anyone wanting to do the same can take a look. The technical details might be a little too long for this thread.

Weird! When I send the url to your blog to my phone, it defaults to unexciting mobile view. When I request desktop site it still defaults to mobile, and when I manually type in the url on my phone, it finally shows me the desktop site.

I went to take a look at the MacBook Pro with Retina display today and the screen looks amazing. Text is so sharp. My iPod touch has a higher pixel density than the MacBook Pro's display, but the Mac's display is much bigger so it's that much more impressive. The anti-reflective glass really helps too. I couldn't see reflections in the screen unless I turned the brightness down. Compare this to the current iMac where reflections are visible even when the brightness is turned all the way up. I'd like to replace my monitor + 2008 MacBook with it, but ergonomically it's still inferior. Even if I put it on a stand to raise its screen to the proper height (and use my external keyboard and mouse so they're still at desk level), the body of the Mac takes up space, so its screen will be about 9 inches further away than it should be. Guess I'll have to wait for a Retina iMac.
Scotty:
Yeah, that new MacBook is absolutely gorgeous.

I wish I had more powerful graphics so I can actually use the graphics acceleration in Adobe Premiere Pro. The GPU I have doesn't have enough video ram, thus video takes ages to render compared to when I use Final Cut Pro X, which actually supports my GPU...
Oh well, I could always buy an external GPU enclosure and use my laptop to render stuff.
