    To be honest, I'm having difficulty understanding what I should be seeing when I "pinch," as you say. In Chrome it makes all text/images larger, including the banners. This is stan…

    Well this is pretty neat. Reminds me of the old PSP portals that people used to make for homebrew back in the day. They'd emulate Windows and Ubuntu and everything in between. I wo…
