With World of Warcraft fading, what will Blizzard do next?

This is completely off topic, but does anyone know how to prevent extreme tech from redirecting my iPad to their awful mobile version every time?

AFAIK (I'm the editor there) there's no easy way around it. I think we've recently rolled out another mobile layout -- but only for non-iPad devices (iPhone, Android, etc.)

It's OnSwipe for WordPress, incidentally. Maybe there's a local hack you can perform to disable it -- setting a cookie, or something.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have to agree with pagekalisedown, onSwipe is a scourge that needs to be destroyed. If you insist on using it to the detriment of your readers, then please please please give us the ability to turn it off easily and have it never come back on. Also a general note to all web devs: my iPad now has more resolution than any of your monitors, DO NOT force me to view your 'optimized for mobile' site if I dont want to. otherwise I will stop visiting your sites. Thanks!

I don't mean to be inflammatory, but OnSwipe is the bane of my internet experience. PLEASE get rid of it.

Some third party browsers allow you to change the user agent; AFAIK this is the only way to avoid this.
