Just did a query on my stats db and got these results (percentage is
from about 8000 visits from the past couple of months combined).

Note that many users browse with the browser not at full screen. Infact
I also log browser width/height and from what I can see almost all
vistors have their browsers open at lower sizes than full screen.
Especially those with larger resoultions.

(not sure if thes tabs will be preserved, but should look ok..)
