I’m really surprised that you were not able to see that obvious relation.Not all sites prompt you with a pop-up asking you to install it, however then you should pass/fail the sites based on how they look NOT having flash installed as well (as you did with Microsoft not having Silverlight installed).

I can see the entire page and half the footer now! Its always cool to know u may have an impact on popular sites during your reviews.Your turn. what kind of header is that? well we really know its a blog due to the ginormical mess of graphic at the top. I think i got a headache due to being slapped in the eyesockets by it and the huge depot.

Nokia: PASSI really like the fact that Nokia puts all of the necessary navigation elements (links and search box) at the top of the page, and then uses the main real estate of their hompeage to showcase their latest products (the large box actually scrolls through several different products). Additionally, they finish things off with a few other boxes that lead to destinations of potential interest (such as capitalizing on the new “Twilight” trend) OK nobody shoot me, but what about the nokia page is using the “Twilight” trend, and what is that trend exactly?

I really don't know half of the corporate names you have listed in this article. Never heard. It would have been great if you would have stuck to only Telecom related websites.
