11 Mobile Web Annoyances (And How to Fix Them)

Fitting the Web onto your smartphone can be frustrating when ads, video, and 'back' buttons don't cooperate. Here are 11 mobile Web annoyances and how to fix them.

If the future of the Internet is mobile, it'll be riddled with just as many nags and nuisances as the Internet of desktop computers. Websites now clamor to create mobile versions of themselves, forcing bite-sized samples upon smartphone users who want nothing more than the whole Internet in their pockets. The very idea of mobile Web browsing on small touchscreens is so new that we're far from seeing perfection; even the desktop Internet is loaded with annoyances, and it's been around for decades. Until we live in a perfect world, here are 11 mobile Web annoyances, and how to work around, cope with, ignore, or fix them.

Lame Mobile Sites

ESPN's mobile site.Mobile phone users aren't primitive. Our devices may be tiny, but that doesn't mean we seek a lesser experience from the Internet. So why do some Websites exclude or bury features that are found on their PC counterparts? Hey ESPN, just because I'm visiting you on my iPhone's mobile Web browser doesn't mean I don't want to read page 2, get personalized headlines, or even see story photos. Annoyance within annoyance: the standard mobile site for every blog that uses Wordpress. No photos, comment counts, or full stories from the home page? No thanks.

The Fix: The first option is to check the bottom of whatever page you're on. If you're lucky, you'll see an option to switch to the full Website. Otherwise, browse as if you were on your desktop: On the iPhone, Atomic Web Browser lets you identify the browser as Firefox, Internet Explorer, or desktop Safari, and the Dolphin browser on Android lets you identify as a desktop as well. You'll never see another mobile Website again.
New Browser Windows

Just like mobile Websites, mobile browsers wrongly assume you'd sacrifice functionality for more screen real estate, so the standard browsers for Android and iPhone use windows, not tabs. Switching windows or opening new ones takes the focus away from what you were doing, almost defeating the purpose of having new windows in the first place.

The Fix: Get a different browser. On the iPhone, Atomic Web Browser and iCab Mobile allow tabbed browsing, and Dolphin Browser does it on Android. Opera Mini, supported by multiple mobile platforms, supports browser tabs as well.

Built-In Pop-Up Ads

Worse than traditional pop-up ads are the kind that appear as part of the Web page you're on, and they're even more annoying on mobile phones, where hunting for the "X" is like some twisted minigame. I'm aware of the irony that such methods could be paying my bills at some point. That doesn't mean they don't bother me when I'm browsing.

The Fix: I don't condone ad-blocking, due to the aforementioned bill-paying, but if you must, alternative Web browsers can help. The iPhone's Atomic Web Browser has an ad blocker built in that wipes away these pop-ups. Android's Dolphin browser has ad-blocking add-ons.
Filling Out Forms

Sometimes I wonder how many people avoid buying things or signing up for services because they hate filling out forms. On the cramped keyboards of mobile phones, it's even worse, especially when mobile browsers don't fill out information automatically.

The Fix: On the iPhone, mobile Safari actually does have a form auto-fill feature, but it's disabled by default. Head into the "Safari" section of your settings, then turn it on. You can even sync this feature with your contact information. For other phones, LastPass will remember passwords and form information, but costs $1 per month. Opera Mini doesn't fill out complete forms, but it saves passwords, at least.
Redirect Hell, Part 1

You're on Facebook or Twitter and someone links to what looks like the most interesting article ever--"Top 10 Most Questionable Gas Station Bathrooms," for example. So you get to the Website, but it just redirects you to the mobile version homepage instead of the specific URL you were trying to reach. So much for the convenience of neat and tidy mobile Websites!

The Fix: If you absolutely must see those bathrooms, try using the site's archives or a search function if it wasn't scrapped per annoyance number one. The story's got to be there somewhere. Otherwise, revert to the first fix and hit the link again. Alternatively, e-mail the story link to yourself for later reading on a PC.
Redirect Hell, Part 2

So you've passed through a mobile Website redirect unscathed, your link intact. Good luck returning, via the back button, to the site you were previously viewing. Mobile Web page redirects have a nasty habit of sending you forward every time you hit the back button. Granted that my conclusion is a conspiracy theory, but I say it's all part of the Website's plan to trap you forever.

The Fix: Option number one is to use brute force. Keep pounding that back button until you're back to safety. Failing that, you can go into the browser's history to find the previous page.

Accidental Tapping

The harsh reality of touch screens is that the actions of clicking and scrolling require contact from a finger. You're bound to mess up on occasion, clicking a link when you meant to drag, and vice versa.

The Fix: Not a fix, per se, but you can train yourself to avoid accidental tapping by always laying down a finger with a slight bit of motion, so it's not registered as a click instead. And try to tend more toward long, deliberate scrolling instead of quick flicks, which could register as taps.
This Site Isn't Appworthy

Digg page--click to zoomDear Website I Visit Maybe Four Times a Year: I'm impressed you have a native iPhone or Android app. Now please stop getting in my face as I try to navigate your Website. I'm looking at you, Digg, Village Voice, and Yelp.

The Fix: Some sites, like the ones mentioned above, will stop advertising their mobile apps for good if you take a moment to click the "close" button where the message appears. Otherwise, you could show disapproval by going to a competing service or Website, but if you switch to Google Places over Yelp simply out of spite, you've got a pretty big chip on your shoulder.
Picking Up Where You Left Off

During the day, my computer browser becomes an organized mess of tabs and open windows. But once I go mobile, all those stories I wanted to read or Websites I needed to reference are gone, unless I e-mail them to myself.

The Fix: This one's easy. Just check out the Xmarks service, which lets you send all open tabs on a PC to your mobile devices. iPhone users can get the native app for $1--an Android version is supposedly in the works--but there's also a general phone site at mobile.xmarks.com.

A 'Get Adobe Flash Player' notice on a mobile Website. The Flash Problem

Missing Flash support won't always be a problem for all phones, but with the exception of Android phones running the new Froyo mobile OS, most phones can reliably annoy their owners by displaying Websites filled with empty Flash boxes. Subannoyance: Why doesn't YouTube's mobile site let you watch full television episodes as you can on a desktop browser? I fret that it's because some Hollywood executive doesn't like the idea of me watching full episodes of Star Trek on YouTube from the road.

The Fix: "Get an Android phone" is admittedly not the best answer--well, it is if you think of phones as political factions. Meanwhile, iPhone owners can try a workaround and turn to LogMeIn Ignition ($30 in the iPhone App Store) to feed content from their own PCs, including Flash. Another workaround is to use the iPhone app called Cloud Browse (free, but with a premium version for faster speeds), which opens a Flash-enabled browser on the app's own server.
Ghost of the Mobile Website

One thing I despise more than bad Websites on mobile phones is bad mobile Websites on your PC. Sometimes this can happen if someone links to a site's mobile version, and there's no redirect to take you back. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I feel helpless.

The Fix: With the benefit of a full Web browser, do a search within the Website's domain (for example, enter "site:domain.com 'the thing you're searching for'" in Google). That might get you back to the land of the living.

Seperti Apa Posisi Tidur yang Sehat?

Kebanyakan orang tidak mengubah posisi tidurnya karena sudah menjadi kebiasaan. Tapi terkadang orang merasa lelah, badan sakit atau capek ketika bangun tidur. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah posisi tidur yang tidak pas. Ketahui posisi tidur yang sehat untuk tubuh.

Posisi tidur tertentu memang diketahui lebih sehat daripada yang lain. Selain itu perubahan cara berbaring di tempat tidur juga turut berperan memberikan tubuh yang sakit ketika bangun di pagi hari.

Dikutip dari BBCNews, Selasa (27/7/2010) Profesor Chris Idzikowski, direktur dari Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service menuturkan ada beberapa posisi tidur, yaitu:

1. Posisi Janin
Yaitu meringkuk seperti posisi janin di dalam rahim. Posisi ini menggambarkan orang yang tangguh di luar tapi memiliki hati yang sensitif, biasanya akan malu-malu ketika baru pertama kali bertemu seseorang tapi cepat menjadi rileks.

2. Posisi Log
Yaitu berbaring di sisi dengan kedua lengan lurus di samping sisi. Posisi ini menggambarkan seseorang yang mudah bersosialisasi dan menjadi bagian dalam kerumunan orang, tapi gampang percaya dengan orang asing sehingga mudah tertipu.

3. Posisi Yearner
Yaitu berbaring ke salah satu sisi dengan kedua tangan terbuka ke depan. Posisi ini menggambarkan seseorang memiliki sifat terbuka, tapi bisa menjadi orang yang curiga dan sinis. Selain itu pada umumnya lambat mengambil keputusan, tapi tidak pernah mengubah keputusan yang sudah dibuatnya.

4. Posisi Tentara
Yaitu berbaring dengan punggung atau terlentang dengan kedua lengan menempel di sisi. Posisi ini menggambarkan seseorang yang pendiam dan tenang, tidak suka keributan, bisa mengatur dirinya sendiri dan memiliki standar yang tinggi.

5. Posisi Terjun Bebas
Yaitu badan tertelungkup dengan posisi tangan berada di sekitar bantal dan kepala berpaling ke satu sisi. Posisi ini menggambarkan orang yang suka bergaul, ceroboh, berani, tidak suka kritik atau situasi yang ekstrim.

6. Posisi Bintang Laut
Yaitu berbaring dengan punggung (terlentang) dengan kedua tangan berada di sekitar bantal. Posisi ini menggambarkan seseorang yang selalu siap mendengarkan orang lain, suka menawarkan bantuan tapi tidak suka menjadi pusat perhatian.

Selain itu Profesor Idzikowski juga memeriksa berbagai pengaruh posisi tidur terhadap kesehatan orang tersebut.

Diungkapkan bahwa posisi tidur yang sehat adalah posisi janin, karena dapat menjaga ketegangan dari tulang punggung sehingga seseorang akan bangun di pagi hari dengan lebih nyaman.

Sementara itu posisi bintang laut dan tentara cenderung menyebabkan orang tidur mendengkur dan mendapatkan tidur malam yang buruk.

"Kedua posisi tubuh tersebut memang belum tentu membuat seseorang terbangun, tapi bisa menyebabkan seseorang tidak akan segar saat bangun di pagi harinya dan terkadang menimbulkan sakit," ungkapnya.

Selain posisi tidur ada juga hal-hal lain yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas tidur seseorang, yaitu tempat tidur yang digunakan dan juga suhu di kamar tidur. Karena suhu yang terlalu panas atau terlalu dingin akan mengganggu waktu tidur seseorang. Memiliki kualitas tidur yang baik akan sangat mempengaruhi produktivitas seseorang.

Hasil penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa kebanyakan orang tidak mengubah posisi tidurnya dan hanya sekitar 5 persen responden saja yang memiliki posisi tidur berbeda-beda setiap malamnya.
