Their website already did that. That's how good websites work. They resize themselves based on the screen size of the visitor. This isn't something new that they've started doing after posting this notice.

That will only save you money if you buy more than 6 movie tickets per year (assuming $2 convenience fee per ticket; if less, then you do the math).

Because it's more fun to make Apple seem like the bad guy here. I mean, look at this whole article. People are complaining that they had to make their webpage 316 pixels longer by adding 316 pixels of text to the bottom of it. Unfortunately, that's just how euclidean space works. Heck, they even went and resized…

Yes. They purposefully made their webpage 316 pixels longer by adding 316 pixels worth of text to the bottom of it. Those bastards, how dare they be confined to euclidean space?

Yes, by making their webpage 316 pixels longer by adding 316 pixels worth of text to the bottom of it. Those bastards, how dare they be confined to euclidean space!

There was nothing to be fixed. This is a non-issue. People are complaining that the webpage is 316 pixels longer than normal. There's nothing more to it.

What? Compare apple.com/uk with http://apple.com. You'll see that the UK site actually has a smaller iPad Mini display than the US site.

It's unclear what specifically Apple uses javascript for, as they tend to obfuscate code that they've written for themselves. However, I do know that setting the width to 80% wouldn't work for Apple, as they don't scale the page based on the browser window size. Since it's screen resolution dependent (especially the…

Um, it sounds like you're agreeing with me. "They make everyone scroll, no matter how large your resolution is." That's my point. You're scrolling on their webpage anyways. There's nothing malicious here. It's just a webpage that you scroll on. Saying that this is malicious is like saying that Microsoft is…

Remember, before they put the apology on there, you had to scroll ANYWAYS to get to the bottom of the page. (Or at least, I did, and still have to). I really don't see how this javascript is doing anything malicious beyond redefining how tall the footer element of the page is.

I don't understand your comment. It sounds like you're agreeing with me. Adding stuff on a page makes it longer. You know that their website scales itself depending on the display size, right? That seems to be what that JS is helping.

Everyone here is thinking about this in the complete wrong way. They added that code to keep the rest of their page rendering correctly. Remember, their web page sizes itself to best fit your current display. When they had to add this extra vertical content, they had to compensate for it to make sure everything…

Lucid Chart. Integrates with Google Docs, and you get it for free if you have an education email.

Amazon's right. 3 is three times as big as 1.

It'd be cool if the actual product was invisible. I can already see one way to pull it off.

Pretty sure the cellphone jammer is illegal, but it sounds like it'd work.

This post gave me breast cancer in my lungs.

Well... Either the Universe started as something really small, or God just made it look that way to troll us.

Yes. There's actually a reason that it looks so sketchy. It's to filter out all the people smart enough that would eventually just end up wasting their time. By making it look really sketchy, they're ensuring that they'll only trick the people stupid enough to actually hand them their financial details.
