Judging Stimulus by Job Data Reveals Success →
Huh! Imagine if, one year ago, Congress had passed a stimulus bill that really worked. Let’s say this bill had started spending money within a matter of weeks and had rapidly helped the economy. Let’s also imagine it was large enough to have had a huge impact on jobs — employing something like two million people who would otherwise be unemployed right now. If that had happened, what would the...

iPhone isn't the new IE6
Rentzsch nails it from another angle.  However, most of your readers don’t own them either! rentzsch: Peter-Paul Koch: We’re doing exactly the same as ten years ago. We now say “iPhone” instead of “IE6,” but otherwise nothing’s changed. No, wait, there’s one more change: the iPhone has far less mobile market share now than IE6 had desktop share back then. ppk’s overly-bombastic text...

Developers aren't stupid: The iPhone obsession →
I agree with PPK on one count. The return on your investment in time and resources when your build a mobile site will always pay back the most dividends if you just go ahead and target the majority of your audience’s mobile clients.

Any existing requests will continue to use the old code, while any new incoming requests will use the new code. All without shutting down the server, bouncing any...
