  1. Only WAP sites - key for testing; no evidence by Seth+Finkelstein · · Score: 4, Informative
    A key item in the article is:

    Not all Web sites are affected, just those that use a standard called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). Web page makers use WAP to create a slimmed down version of their sites for cell phones.

    Please take this into account for testing. So far, looking over the web, I've found no supporting evidence for the story.
