Another idea for unlimited mileage electric cars! 3rd September 2012 1:11 PM

“yup agreed, unfortunately you know it won't happen like that, it will be competing companies, different standards, with only one eventual winner, who will buy the other one out 5 years later

Only people who will lose will be us mugs that back the wrong horse...

Good to finally see all this electric car innovation, especially around it's nemesis, range!”

Yes - totally agree!

Any car can go to a petrol station and fill up so we need the same for this.
The key to successfully doing this will be ensuring that all cars are able to use the same concept and not just limited to the few! It's not clear from the article if that will be the case....

Welcome Lee - look forward to hearing more from you now that you've come to the dark side.

Need? Well, if your site is not any good on a mobile device people will search elsewhere. I know I do. Can you afford to lose potential customers. Are you busy enough as it is? That should help you answer the question.

You summed it up quite well. Yes, for wordpress (& Joomla, Drupal etc.) there are plugins available. Though due the rapid increase in mobile usage these days it makes more sense to have a responsive website (i.e works well on both) from the start.

I see what you're saying about photography websites, but I'd suggest that it's still necessary to show the photos well on a mobile device.

Agreed.

Let us know how you get on Lee and what decision you make.

Facebook results - Oh dear, $157m loss! 29th August 2012 5:30 PM

That is the danger, will people move away from Facebook when they are being "distracted" by adverts, stories etc that they have no interest in. As SharClar stated...

The trick will be getting the balance right - especially on the mobile platform.

Worse. The "wavey" version was better. 4 squares isn't very distinctive.

...not sure it'll effect them much though.
