Indeed. It just doesn't work as well when the '4' is drawn with the diagonal rather than the straight lines the old calculators always displayed.

Fair enough

Univers, Akcidenz, Avenir, Gotham... It's not hard to find a solid alternative to Helvetica, but I'm not sure that's the point.

It more or less worked for me.

It depends what you're working on, but yes typically larger and higher resolution displays are preferable. There are specialized monitors for different sorts of video work and for photography too. Everyone on my design team uses a pair of 23" 1080p IPS panels, wouldn't mind a pair of 30" panels though :P

Was sorta hoping for these to be sculptures of some sort, rather than photographs of paint flying off speakers. It's been done (as has been mentioned almost to the point of exhaustion), though these are pretty well executed, maybe the best I've seen so far. The two lead shots are great, and consideration of color to…

That's... not the real thing... is it?

Amen, brother. Amen.

Best Buy's stores shouldn't open on Black Friday because their online presence improperly handled backorders of Black Friday deals? Little melodramatic, yeah? It's not like there was some guy who waiting in line for 3 days to get in at midnight for a PS3, and yesterday Best Buy showed up at his house and took the PS3…

Really?

All RIM has ever had was enterprise. Well, enterprise and canada. The iPhone came out, and they thought they were safe, because after all, the iPhone was not enterprise friendly at all, a totally different market, they thought.

You jelly?

I think you nailed it, marketing needed something to promote, so they stretch the truth a little too far reaching for the 'magic' and focus on Siri. Siri, a product that will require a lot field use and data from users in order to really mature, and Apple has nowhere to get that data from other than through the hands…

and/or the rantings of someone who is fed up with the vapid consumer/pop culture clusterfuck that composes so much of the world we can very easily find ourselves inundated with.

Well, I dunno, I guess we just get by doing silly things like organizing the bills in our wallets by order of denomination, or something.

I'm no expert on polypropene block copolymers, but that flat slab of it doesn't look like it'd be much fun for one's back...

None of the ones people are *dying* from not having access to. Come on now.

Have you not been on the internet (and reading Gizmodo) since a time before Reddit existed and anyone cared about it?

It looks more like an internal 2d barcode than a standard QR code, might be able to get numbers out of it but they wouldn't mean much without the factory's database to look them up in.

Wouldn't say it was quite as pathetic as this article paints it, but there's something about the 'safe and secure' point they kept repeating that seemed rather dubious to me. I can't be the only person who remembers the employees the postal service has caught hoarding undelivered mail.
