| The best interface bricks are these ones that actually work:

| They even put an accelerometer in it, so it can show a working

| The console bricks were so special back then. When you got one in

| That's better, thanks

| Remove the maximum-scale property.

| That makes some sense actually if iOS ignores it. Whenever I

| copy/paste magic meta tag which goes unnoticed by most
| browsers then I can see how that could proliferate.

| Ok, this should be fixed now, let me know if you still

| Works, thanks

| Works for me!

| That's the UI. There's no actual interaction with the screens.
