We're calling it \"mobile\" here, but when we  \nspeak of NVP and WVP, we're only dealing with viewport width and this says  \nnothing of our connection.","updated_at":"2011-10-25T12:04:00Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/paulirish/html5-boilerplate/issues/comments/2516147","id":2516147,"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/36857c1095dccf2f2c5ea470dc791530?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","gravatar_id":"36857c1095dccf2f2c5ea470dc791530","url":"https://api.github.com/users/stephenhay","id":473099,"login":"stephenhay"}},"action":"created","issue":{"number":816,"created_at":"2011-10-18T02:22:51Z","pull_request":{"diff_url":null,"patch_url":null,"html_url":null},"body":"IE6-8 require respond.js to act as a polyfill because H5BP uses mobile-first media queries. \r\n\r\nI'm not convinced mobile-first media queries are best. \r\n\r\n1.
