I think its so you can lay the screwdriver down and let the ipad rest (without having those sharp claws scratching the back) on the backs of the hammers.

This seems to be the direction the world of technology is going. Things are becoming small enough to be wearable , and when you've got something you can wear, it pretty much NEEDS to become a fashion accessory or nobody would buy it.

Lol, so I've kind of noticed when reading these posts, that whenever I see that heading "Why It Matters" , My first thought is "I probably don't need this" , which is then confirmed when I read the rest.

I ate lunch in that mcdonalds once. (this photo was taken just to the left of the above photo)

Yeah, I'm no graphic designer, but I do APPRECIATE it at least... Spotify was kind of a confusing mess for me. I never understood why Giz pushed it so hard when they were about to release it when there was such a great alternative available...

oh my god, you're right!!! who gives a shit

its even solar powered, what more do you want from them!?

try clearing your cache. That seems to fix all problems

yeah, I don't know why I didn't photograph them from an angle too, but I'm pretty sure you're right about it being washed out at an angle. For me its never a problem because I pretty much only use it for myself, so I'm always at a good viewing angle, but regardless, more is always better when it comes to viewing angles

Yeah, honestly Rdio is pretty much everything I want/need in a streaming service. The only thing missing is my friends. (who are a bunch of sheep who are slowly signing up for spotify even though I've told them how great Rdio is in comparison, but they see spotify on facebook and think "oh, this is the best") and now…

I wish Rdio would start doing stuff like this...

Yeah, what might be happening is that the Xoom's screen has a bit cooler color temperature... When I first turned my mom's ipad on, the screen felt a bit yellower than mine in general

he's probably referring to folders in OSX (another apple product which uses skeunomorprowntgorgism)

The alternative is to keep windows exactly the same as it is now . forever. Because god forbid people take the time to learn something different than what they're used to...

I used to like the Metro UI, but after reading your comment explaining that its garbage, now I hate it and agree with you. very persuasive.

Alright, I did it... the ipad is the winner. I never really saw my screen as washed out or anything, but yeah, when you compare the two, the ipad's screen is better

could have been the viewing angle... not sure. Now I probably need to test this out for myself...

Yep... I remember seeing it when they first announced it and though it seemed too short and fat for something you're supposed to want to watch movies on.... something I do like about them is that the screen is great for reading and other "fullscreen" type things such as some games, and it feels more natural in both…

there's a couple that seem to have inspired the places in the show... (moe's for example, is a bar on a corner, Kwik-e-mart has the same style roof...) other than that though, yeah, most of these places look nothing like the real-world counterparts.
