A bit nasty.

"Define breakpoints for your responsive design, and Breakpoints.js will fire custom events when the browser enters and/or exits that breakpoint." Timely.

PIE makes Internet Explorer 6-9 capable of rendering several of the most useful CSS3 decoration features.

"I have contacted HTC about this issue and they have informed me that they don't have support for the viewport meta tag at all and there is no other way to disable zoom." Thanks, HTC!

"I can find troubled projects, swoop in and save them through sheer competence, and save the day.  This is probably the biggest single lie a developer can tell himself." Honk.
