I had occassion to visit the CBS network website to try to find out the topics of 60 minutes show. I got mobile jailed and they tried to have me download a mobile app. So I didn't watch 60 minutes

So.. in case you haven't noticed..<p>This post is a clever little advertisement disguised as a blogpost/story. The submitter and author are the same person, selling services for moovweb, which solves the issue characterized in the advert.

You can't claim that links are a contract. At best maintaining links is a courtesy and one you should not rely on.<p>Having said that I can see why this is annoying and a clear thinking business should allow manual override.

I wish the airline had been mentioned. I don't think leaving their name out will ensure that the site is improved.<p>Also it is ironic that we are discussing this on Hacker News.

Mobile browsers can help matters by letting you override the user agent (e.g., with a desktop user agent), to stop sites from redirecting you to their horrible mobile versions.
