Fear the compelling draw of the new tech.

Tesla [oneironaut] says, "There is no compelling reason for me to be sitting at my desk, reading my friendspage on my iPhone. There is a FULL-ON COMPUTER with a monitor thirty times as large two feet away from me. ... novelty is a powerful force."
Brooks [brooksmoses] posts very large images on his LJ.
Brooks says, "(not really, but I should.)"
Tesla says, "The very narrow content areas in my layout turn out to be pretty convenient for reading on a tiny screen, too."
Whitney pats Tesla.
Tesla says, "I'm sick."
Whitney says, "We've known that for years."
Tesla says, "Just keeping you up to date. Still sick."
Brooks says, "You could try finding a 'what your webpage looks like on an iPhone' browser and using that on your large monitor to read your friendspage."
Whitney says, "Bonus meta."
Tesla laughs hard.
Whitney has a profound urge to post this conversation to LJ.
Brooks says, "Heh. With extra line breaks so it's in a narrow column?"
Whitney says, "His format can handle it."
Tesla laughs some more.

I actually tweaked my LJ layout to specifically work better on the iPhone/iPod touch browser. This is even more useful now that LJ will let you automatically show all pages in your own style.
