    I just noticed this info on the xkcd website for the first time:

    xkcd.com is best viewed with Netscape Navigator 4.0 or below on a Pentium 3±1 emulated in Javascript on an Apple IIGS at a screen resolution of 1024x1.

    Randall is such a genius.

          It’d be like the phone equivalent of Linux’s diagonal monitor orientation, only now the touch screen experience is beyond fucked.

          Strangely enough this might work for round smart watches though.
