Wall Street Journal – An Example of Bad Web Design for June 9, 2014

Vincent Flanders’ comments: What in the name of God is wrong with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ)? I’m on my iPad reading a Facebook post by Jason Isbell where he mentions that the WSJ has his new video Super 8 Motel. Cool. I click the link and scroll down. There’s no freaking video. Why? Because the WSJ is using Flash, which Steve Jobs killed off. You can’t view Flash on iPhones or iPads. EVERYBODY but the WSJ knows this. You can search Google to find a billion (slight exaggeration) articles on how to serve both Flash and Apple video formats.
This is the type of error that could be quickly fixed, so check soon.
I can’t believe how effing stupid the folks are at The WSJ.
