- brown 17y ago[off-topic, nitpick] To anyone who plans on writing a blog post with graphs: please differentiate data sets with actual colors as opposed to closely related shades of blue.
- chaosmachine 17y agoI was just saying the same thing in the "IE is dying" thread. I suspect "shades of blue" is the default setting in whatever graph program everyone is using these days.
- mullr 17y agoUnits on the horizontal axis would be great too. Really, these graphs don't mean a whole lot without units.
- snprbob86 17y agoI noticed this the other day on my iPhone. Love it. It works great!
- thwarted 17y agoYeah, I noticed on my Android that the wikipedia website didn't have this massive box at the top with text that said "TRY READING THIS ON WIKIPEDIA MOBILE" anymore. There at least one decent wikipedia browsing app for android, but they don't do integration systemwide (I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the android "intent" framework, being able to have an application handle content for an entire website or not) so clicking on a wikipedia link always brought it up in the web browser and not in the wikipedia app. This is a much needed change, and will only serve to help me waste (?) more time browsing wikipedia finding interesting stuff.
