How do Gizmodo commenters continually say that Gizmodo is so very Apple biased when articles like this and today's iBooks one come out all the time?

Some people want a life outside of work, regardless of the work perks...

Way to become a shitty gossip rag, Gizmodo. This is just getting retarded.

The work is only the output format. Not the content.

Wrong. It is the format, not the content. Apple doesn't take ownership of the content, only the final output format of the iBooks version.

You have completely misread the terms.

The problem is using outdated methods to try and teach our children. It's not a problem like a flat tire, it's a problem like driving a 40 year old car that gets 3 miles per gallon, is expensive to repair, and isn't worth anything when you want to sell it.

There's a huge difference, in my opinion, in the utility of a book read by choice, or for casual purposes, than a tool intended for teaching (textbooks). I prefer actual books to be books too. I enjoy their utility in that sense; but once that book is supposed to be a teaching/learning tool, I see no reason why it

Interactivity in epub has a long way to go before it can compete with a proprietary solution. Yes, for easier adoption, some sort of open format would be better. But that would require companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google to stop competing with eachother. Since Apple is the first company to make a big enough push

Yeah, screw the ability to actually help students learn better. I mean, at the cost of precious kilobytes! The total waste of storage space! it's absurd. Storage is so damn expensive nowadays, it's like gold, you can't be wasting it on trying to improve the education system! It must be reserved for farmville and

All of those problems still exist with printed textbooks; loss, theft, destruction, replacement, etc. Digital distribution should lower the cost of entry for textbook creators, which would allow more than just the big 3 or 4 that current supply textbooks. This will improve the quality of the information. It will also

That doesn't really solve the problems that Apple has solved, or is attempting to solve; textbooks, as plain text books, updated far too infrequently, need to go away. There needs to be new, better ways of teaching and learning. Quite frankly, I'm surprised no one has made a bigger push til now. I've always thought

pixel density is a hardware thing, not a software setting. You can change resolution, not pixel density.

How many Gizmodo articles do you read? Because there is plenty Apple/Android bias going around on here. I think it's hilarious that there are articles that cause Android users to scream "why is Gizmodo so Apple loving" and Apple users saying the same about Android. Get the eff over it.

Does your Android phone have the 720 resolution?

It's the mobile OS equivalent of penis envy and compensation. It's like guys buying big jacked up trucks. Geeks just buy bigger phones to compensate.

I'd argue that her colorings are actually closer to truth than the black and white ones.

That's exactly what she's done. She's showcasing her skills, not distributing a history book.

That's the art part of it. Using the right colors and tones is as much about the knowledge of color theory as it is about creative choice.

You're not serious, are you?
