Student protest dispersed by police
Students marched to Hydro-Quebec Wednesday, seeing it as a symbol of provincial government power, but then police moved in claiming somebody had thrown a projectile. There were no arrests. Photos in Metro.

(I remember you asking for feedback recently about Gazette links that post the mobile version… Not sure if you reached resolution on that, but the Gazoo link above is an example… Note that the URL includes a “/touch” If you delete that, it posts the web version properly.)

Frankly, I prefer the mobile pages in this case (a rare thing; I usually don’t want mobile versions). The Gazette’s regular pages are so filled with crap and load all sorts of scripts and things that make it unbearable. Particularly if using an old iPad like I often do when reading through Twitter, etc. Much slower to load and half the time it crashes the browser.

Actually, geoff, no. I usually post the Gazette mobile links for the reason Blork describes. That’s not the issue.
I was concerned about this blog. This template is supposed to automagically detect what platform a reader is using and send either the regular version for computer browsers or a simpler, stripped-down version for mobile devices. Usually it works for me, but I’ve had reports of the full-size version opening on small devices, and once of the wee version popping up on someone’s full-size screen.

I was on the site yesterday using my Android phone and I got the mobil version. Looked and worked great but the one comment I made with the phone never appeared.
