How ironic. They talk about providing the best user experience on the web, yet their site offers a sub par experience on my phone. The text doesn't scale when zooming, so basically it's unreadable on the phone.

Which is _exactly_ why HTML is not by definition better than Flash!
If the site was in Flash, my phone wouldn't be seeing anything. Like whenever I try to visit a restaurant's site and the WHOLE thing is in Flash.
On my phone Flash works fine. On a WAP phone, I wouldn't be seeing anything. Like whenever I try to visit hacker news on my nokia 7110.

Which is of course no excuse to make flash only restaurant sites... Nor is it to make canvas only, webgl only, image only...websites.
