HowStuffWorks.com is a great site featuring thousands of articles explaining in everyday language and with charts, diagrams and videos how all sorts of complex products, technology and processes work. Typical articles have titles like "How X works" where "X" can be anything from "OLEDs" to "identity theft".

I recently discovered that How Stuff Works has a mobile site and immediately headed there to check it out.  I have to say I was a little disappointed. There's nothing wrong with the site's design,it's easy to navigate and uses browser detection is to optimize markup, images and page size to work smoothly on everything from old wml-only phones to the iPhone. Although I wish that site's designer's had applied a style="max-width:100%; height:auto;""attribute to that logo image to force Opera Mini to re-size it to fit.

The problem with the mobile site is the content.  Has far as I could see there is nothing there but a few quiz's and a bunch of "Top 5 This " and "10 Best That" lists like "10 Best Places for Outdoorsy Types to Live' or "5 Myths about Steve Jobs"  But how Stuff Works' stock in trade, the "How X Works" pieces, seem to be totally missing.  I tried to use mobile site's search engine to look for OLED and "identity theft" and came up with nothing. I'll admit I enjoyed reading some of the "Top 10..." pieces but what ever happened to "How Stuff Works" on m.howstuffworks.com?
