What the hell is wrong with you? The 'if it were android' bit just shows how completely Apple has made us expect the web to not be open. The whole fucking point of web standards is that it doesn't matter what you browse from - if they were conformed to. But no, apple violates them every which way (and gets praised for not being the shittastic company it is to boot) and fucktards like you just accept that 'sure, apple doesn't have to write standards-complient code which will work on competing devices'. People like you are directly responsible for the horrible state of the web. Every time you make a comment like this you undermine the openness of the web and further catapult us towards the dictator-state where Apple creates concentration camps for open-source software developers and, eventually, users. Do you use any open source software? SInce you have an ipad, probably not. You probably shouldn't even be on this website considering it's "hacker news", not "hipster fuckhead who has a shiny but useless tablet that leads to the fall of all hackers news". People like you are the reason I'm considering leaving this site.


If not for the specific nature of the second sentence, I would be intrigued that someone had gone through the trouble of writing a cursing troll-bot for HN. But since no Turing-test-passing bot would use such language, I just feel bad for the IRL friends of this miserable human troll.


It's disappointing because I agree with the factual content, what little there is, but disagree with calling everyone a "fucktard".


Dude, I really think you're in the wrong site, for a moment I thought I was reading a YouTube comment.


Your account was made 47 minutes ago. I wish I had enough karma to downvote this.


No worries. 53 people already have. Somewhat impressive (if a bit excessive)

I think it reflects more how bad Apple are at browser compatible websites, and how we expect them to suck. I have run into many issues in the iOS devcenter where it would only work in Safari. Lame.


This, plus the fact that android has so many display resolutions to support, it would be surprising if apple cared to cater to it.

My point was simply that even apple got it wrong on their own device and browser.


I think this is mostly a troll, Apple 'concentration camps'? Seriously?
