  Devices are different not just because they have different technical capabilities and limitations, but because people use them differently as well

  Because things continue to be so Wild West out there, you need to be a cowboy. Take risks, try new things, and accept that not all the boundary lines between devices, browsers, and the web have been drawn yet
