New set of updates rolled out today

I have created a new web page specifically optimizing the breaking news page for ipad users. So, now, we have 3 different experiences for PC, mobile and tablet. The category news has not been updated for the ipad, but that will be up soon.

The home page has also been updated because a lot of people visit our archive. I have created this section because we cannot afford to store millions of articles in our database and serve that. We are like twitter, tech news changes fast, so we don't need to store more than a month or two of articles.

Stay tuned as we continue to update our site and provide a better experience.

Massive set of updates to our site today

We have completely refurbished our mobile experience today by creating specific mobile web pages which are optimized for Apple devices. Touch based, swipe enabled, it is more easier than ever to read tech news in a better manner. I hope everyone likes the new interface. The site works best with an iPad, but I still wanted the phone experience to be really better than anything else because so many of our readers use mobile phones.

So, I have kept it simple and made a single panel display which really shows the beauty of a good mobile site, and allows users to swipe left or right to move ahead or go back.

As Apple has noted, a lot of people may even use the mobile phone as the only way to access the internet, so we have hopefully done a good job here.
