My approach to fix the iOS bug is documented here:

https://github.com/sergiolopes/ios-zoom-bug-fix

Here I present one experiment with a pure CSS solution, no JS required. It uses width=device-width normally (no device-height hacking) and scales down the page on landscape.

Works fine on all iOS versions.

There's only one problem: on old iOS versions (prior to 4.3.5), the page will get a big empty space at bottom, below the content, when on landscape. Recent iOS versions don't show this behavior.

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	function refreshData()
	{
	x = 5; // 5 Seconds

	// Do your thing here

	setTimeout(refreshData, x*1000);
	}

	function color_meter(cwith, ccolor) {

	if (!cwith && !ccolor) return;

	var _cwith = (cwith.charAt(0)=="#") ? cwith.substring(1,7) : cwith;
	var _ccolor = (ccolor.charAt(0)=="#") ? ccolor.substring(1,7) : ccolor;

	var _r = parseInt(_cwith.substring(0,2), 16);
	var _g = parseInt(_cwith.substring(2,4), 16);
	var _b = parseInt(_cwith.substring(4,6), 16);

	It's pure CSS.
	Since a quick google search will confirm people going crazy about Mac OS Lion scrollbars...
	this has no fade-out effect.

	In Mac OS Lion, the lowest common denominator is always showing scrollbars by a setting.

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	uninstall() {
	list=`gem list --no-versions`
	for gem in $list; do
	gem uninstall $gem -aIx
	done
	gem list
	gem install bundler
	}

	tell application "System Events"
	-- get current clipboard contents as a string
	set CurrentClipboard to the clipboard as string

	-- set the clipboad to your password
	set the clipboard to "Y0urVPNPa$$w0rd"

	-- start playing with the VPN
	tell current location of network preferences
