Say NO! To SOPA and PIPA
On January 18th, 2012 the internet is going on strike to stop the web censorship bills in Congress!
The Yellow Flashlight will be joining the strike and all the websites under the umbrella of The Yellow Flashlight will be joining too.
Please excuse the interruption of these sites on January 18th, 2012 for 12 hours, as we will be joining the strike to blackout the web as a sign of protest against this ridiculous piece of proposed legislation. All traffic will be re-directed to the strike page.

Please join the strike!

In a world which is becoming more and more mobile, it is almost a necessity to create a mobile version of a website.
According to Wikipedia, there are more than 5 billion cell phones, on a planet occupied by around 7 billion people.
Countries like Montenegro, Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, where the number of activated phones exceeds the number of people (in the case of Montenegro, the percentage is nearly double) expose the rather obvious fact that everyone and their dogs have a mobile device. Above all, this article by Wikipedia refers only to cell phones in existence. It does not include the large number of devices such as tablet computers in addition to the already excessive number of phones. However, the number of Web sites with support for mobile devices is still relatively low. Continue reading “The Yellow Flashlight goes mobile!” »
