Wow, that has to be one of the worst user interfaces I have ever seen for a mobile device since the old extremetech.com site.
If you visit the site from an iPhone and have it in landscape orientation, a black overlay is shown with a message that the site is only designed for portrait mode. Tilt to that mode, overlay goes away but then none of the content is usable because they've overridden native scrolling with some mixture of CSS and javascript. And it's broken.
To top it off, they've disabled copying so there's no easy way to even share the ridiculous message
To all designers: STOP. Quit being clever with mobile versions of your site. Just display your normal site with your normal content.
