Interesting... The "Biggest Loser" link tells me that Javascript is turned off for Mobile Safari and I need to go to Settings > Safari to turn it on before it will load the site.

It's not quite as bad as Apple's HTML5 Safari-only demo but it's a site that won't be getting my traffic if it can't be arsed reading browser IDs properly. Y'see I'm running Firefox with NoScript. I think I just found an new reason for the EpicFail tag you put on the link :)

I are glad you linked to webofevil's post, I have it in my "write a post about this for somewhere" folder.

I had a folder with 200 things in it called "write about" and eventually realised I was never going to for most of them, so just post links nowadays, unless the mood catches me immediately.
