What’s wrong with the new ‘Globe and Mail’ mobile site?
january 2011 by joeclark
Here’s what I asked Greg MacGregor. I’m sure Craig will shake his head with bemusement.
I'm really not clear why your new mobile site can't even bother to declare
<doctype HTML> or its human language, or use real links (href="#" means
nothing), or use an alt text that isn't "img", or use the CSS cascade
instead of malarkey like class="serif fontsmall menuitem gbb", or heading
elements.
In short, how is your mobile site new and improved if it doesn't really
even have HTML?

Blackberry Bold 9700 autodials 911 unless you’re Mr. fucking Spock
january 2011 by joeclark
She believes BlackBerry phones are particularly problematic… With the recently released BlackBerry Bold 9700, for instance, it takes only three presses and two short swipes to make the emergency call. Trying to unlock the phone prompts a screen with three options: unlock, emergency and cancel. If emergency is clicked, a prompt comes up that reads, “Are you sure you want to make an emergency call?” One more swipe and one more click and the phone starts ringing.
“It’s a design flaw,” said telecom analyst Ronald Gruia. “They should just delete it from the menu.”
