Apple's scroll bar allergy leads to some quite funny (to me, anyway) problems with major websites. Some companies seem to have their entire web dev + QA + management staff on Macbooks, because on any other desktop platform their websites are COVERED in useless scrollbars that scroll maybe one or two pixels. I've even seen scrollbars cover up half part of a company's logo.

All of that money spent on hyper expensive laptops, and people still end up with terribly ugly websites!




Yep - overflow: scroll rather than overflow: auto. I've seen Google fall foul of this
