they've always done pull quotes terribly. shouldn't they only really be used for quotes from someone interviewed for the article?

in this case (the ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ review) it's a pull-quote right after the paragraph it's from, and it's one column so it's not doing anything to break up a page layout to make it more interesting

the quotes they pull are also really big, red, and distracting, so i often find myself reading them before the paragraph above them

tablets are ok at viewing websites (unless its an ipad and then its not very good at viewing websites so you need an native app version of the website) but that's about it

tablets aren't useless. they're for browsing websites (or in the case of ipad the web sites native app because it would be too slow to use the web site)
