Sister site

Is New Mobile Computing the Sister site of OSNews? I honestly can't find a link to it anywhere in the navigation, the OS Resources section, in the page footer, or anywhere else that I can think to look. Honestly I would use both sites more if there were some helpful cross-links.

Hmm, I wonder how you haven't seen the whole vertical strip on your left?

I think he was being sarcastic.

Do you post OSNEWS stuff on NMC?(I dont know, I never go there)

I wasn't being sarcastic ... the Mobile Computing strip on the left doesn't appear on all stories, in fact I have no idea which stories it does appear for. I often look on OSnews and think to myself, 'what was the name of that site that looks like this one and has PDA news on it?', but I can never remember the name of it, and I can never find a link to it. One of the keys to usability (as I'm sure we all know) is consistency ... so why isn't there a link to Mobile Computing News in some consistent location on OSnews?

Good question

I've been meaning to do it, but I haven't thought of what would be a good place to make the NMC link yet. Thanks for the reminder.
