Unfortunately, I discovered this by trying to find an article I had once read (about the effects of caffeine usage) by doing a Google search on my iPhone and then clicking the link, which detected I was on an iPhone and redirected me to m.gawker.com (or m.lifehacker.com or something like that), throwing away the hash URL and putting me at the root of the site. As there is no safe way to do a 302 redirect with a hash URL this strategy is doomed to fail.

Aye, and I thank Penny Arcade for that one. Even so I only hit kotaku once or twice a day now instead of practically leaving it up, which is probably good for me.

It's the oddest thing. I thought the gawker redesign was specifically targeted at the iPad. When I opened it up on the iPad, I got the WAP-like text interface.
