Tangentially related - we did some analysis a little while ago of how screen size affects use behaviour (in terms of data consumption) - http://opensignal.com/reports/data-usage-by-screen-size/

What did you use to create those charts?

From the HTML source, it looks like these graphs are from D3.js - http://d3js.org/

Thanks, this is nice.

Just a request: Can stuff be "merged"? When looking at computer monitors, I sometimes don't care about if it's an Asus, Acer, Samsung etc. Sometimes all I want is a grouping to show common screen sizes/densities/etc.

And where do you get the popularity from? Can't believe 70% of all screens are by Apple.

A possibly useful expansion idea:

My nexus 7 is physically 800 x 1280. However if you're running VNC in landscape mode you want to set up a non-scrolling session of 1280x736 because of the bars.

Other than VNC I suppose similar issues exist if you're trying to edit a pixel-perfect background image or something like that.

FYI I think it's silly that such a simple informational website should require javascript just to display the information. Yes I am that noscript-nazi everyone dislikes.

I wrote a multi-column sort that acts on plain HTML tables. I agree that displaying information with JavaScript is overkill.

Especially as all the data seems to be there, it's just got 'display: none' in the css.

The only reason I can think of is to stop ugly flashes as it zebra-stripes it. There's surely better solutions for that?
