Please, anytime you can show a lie, just post it here. I fully understand you don't like the opinions of @FoxNews and that's fine, but the news reporting is spot on and very informational (with the occasional human error that is always corrected). Do they lean Right, yes, but ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, all lean very Left so at least ONE news network that shows the other side can't be that horrible.
NOT that I am a FoxNews fanboy as I constantly gripe at them about much of their 'entertainment' articles. One more anything about that Miley tramp!!!
I would suggest that if ALL news outlets gave just the news without slant, then we, the people, would all be much better off.
Now, back to the actual topic. I'm excited about the new Deck as it is modern and looks more 'real time' then normal broadcasts. The screen resolution has little, no nothing, to do with the news. The have a scrolling newswire at the top of the Deck and large vertical panels on the wall; all of which are controlled via the specialist's panels or the remote that Shep will have.
All in all, this is a fresh new look and feel for a younger generation (which I'm not) and I think it will work out great. Should they have gone with 55' panels from Apple? Sure, when Apple makes 55' panels.
I don't get the point of this story, or at least what it was to do with iPad pixels.
Ummm... that's it's wasteful to pay so much and utilize such a large piece of equipment when it doesn't convey any more information than an iPad, whose cost, surface area and weight are a few orders of magnitude smaller. Wow, you can see 4 tweets at a time!!! I mean, really? That's a pretty high cost per visible tweet.
So Microsoft dumped another product they couldn't sell?
HA! The ORIGINAL Surface! It’s astonishing; I totally forgot about it (well, not astounding; I forget about everything, mother of humanity, I’m depressed).
Seems the world has also forgotten about it, however. The only memory society will have of it looks like the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, where Keanu Reeves’ masterful acting ability truly shines as an alien whose emotions cannot be expressed within the human form.
$5 says that if this story was "MSNBC's giant new Microsoft touch screens have fewer pixels than an iPad" the comments would be gushing of how innovative and forward thinking it is to have such a large display and that Apple should build a 55" display or else they're doomed.
Fox News actually argued (and won) a case in front of the FL Supreme Court claiming that they had the right to lie on air and that nothing required them to tell the truth.
You mean this? Please read and educate yourself on the facts, not FUD from the Left!
Clearly, the story that FOX News got a court ruling in favor of its right to “lie” in its news broadcasts has become something of a talking point among the cable news channel’s detractors. There’s only one problem – the story as popularly told is completely false, and is based almost exclusively on hysteria, hyperbole, and half-truths.
I'm not trying to turn this thread into a political discussion, but I just gotta laugh when I read comments like "Faux News", "They lie", "They spread misinformation"...hilarious!!! If you don't like Fox (who are by far the #1 most watched cable news organization) then don't watch it! But when 95% of the left leaning loons in this country religiously parrot whatever made up mush they are spoon fed by the likes of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS and the rest...the whole "Fox news lies!" thing is about as pathetic as it gets! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother told me to never to sit that close to the television.
All these "don't sit close to the television" phrases originate from the time of CRTs which would produce X-ray and other nasty radiation that at close distance could be potentially harmfully strong. These reasons don't apply to modern LED backlit LCD screens.
Of course, LCD screens, regardless of size, can still harm your vision if their backlighting and contrast aren't properly adjusted for the viewing environment, but that's no different than staring at a very brightly lit paper surface in a dark environment, or doing similar things that are beyond the eye's "light metering" and "auto exposure" capabilities.

It is the Lie they want to believe, so they do. I want the only news network that talks against our beloved to be doomed, so I will believe whatever rhetoric that plays into that. Just like Fandroids wanting Apple to be doomed!
This kind of gimmickry has already proven not to work at CNN.
This ridiculous hype, using massive screens providing no real functionality other than gimmickry, just serves the typical "look! aren't we great!" self-aggrandizing Fox hyperbole. They're pretty despicable over there.
Show me a news organization, a credible journalistic outlet, that really knows how to apply technology bringing to a mass audience?
How about streaming live news using handheld cameras/devices, tablet to tablet, and "airplay" that to the main screen and viewing audience? In-line tweets and reporting. Multi-camera views of an event, all coming from mobile devices? I'd begin to be impressed, maybe. Then it would depend on the quality of the reporting.
I care not one whit about the lying, craven, tabloid "reporting" at Fox 'news'. Why do I have to see headlines about them at an Apple Rumors website, when it's just making much ado of entertainment-as-news stupidity?? They have some nerve billing that as "journalism".

Whether FOX is left or right doesn't matter. What matters is them making up news that are not true.
Second, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS are not left, certainly not very left, they are barely center.
Thanks to the hijacking of the definition of what's left and right by the extreme right in the US, people have no idea what's left and right in the US. Obama is considerably to the right of e.g. Germany's conservative-right party of chancellor Angela Merkel.
Obamacare is a hand-out to insurance companies and health-care providers, and far to the right of what Nixon (a Republican) proposed and what Thatcher (pretty staunchly right-wing conservative and bosom friend of Ronald Reagan) supported with the NIH in the UK.
Before right wingers and teatards frothing at the mouth call anyone "far left" they should bother studying politics.
Far left is essentially non-existent in the USA, what we have in the US is a center that's leaning left or leaning right, plus a right-wing, borderline christian-fundamentalist, fascist fringe movement that tries to hijack US politics by disregarding how democracy is supposed to work: simple majority rule, and not by a minority using procedural tricks to hold the majority hostage.

Right, if you believe that FoxNews is making things up and that those news outlets are not left leaning, then you must be so far left you can't see it. So we'll just leave it at that, and it's time for lunch
Don't weather men use screens behind them by just stepping to the side? I would imagine they would try to use them the same way.
never been to a TV studio before, have you.
those "screens" behind them are typically blank green screens, with the image they're referencing (on an off-camera monitor) being composited onto the completed image you see broadcast.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is exactly how Fox intends to use this array of new "screens. ". Blank screens they will overlay anything they like onto from a control room. Nothing "live" about them. The people are the real props, the screens are just to drive home their scary FUD points or paid PR points… depending on scheduling.

I don't need to. It's been done repeatedly (including some examples below). Fox News is the only "news" media to fight and win a state supreme court case to get affirmation of their right to lie.
Nice try. You've mastered the Fox News red herring garbage. None of those links refutes what I said - you're simply trying to hide the facts behind a stream of nonsequitors. No one cares if Akres won their other arguments. The ruling is clear:
The appeals court decision (as affirmed by the supreme court) said:
" the FCC’s policy against the intentional falsification of the news — which the FCC has called its “news distortion policy” — does not qualify as the required “law, rule, or regulation” under section 448.102.[...] Because the FCC’s news distortion policy is not a “law, rule, or regulation” under section 448.102, Akre has failed to state a claim under the whistle-blower’s statute."
That is, they supported Fox News' claim that there was no law requiring them to tell the truth.
Right, if you believe that FoxNews is making things up and that those news outlets are not left leaning, then you must be so far left you can't see it. So we'll just leave it at that, and it's time for lunch
Jon Stewart (and Colbert, as well) regularly lampoon the constant lies from Fox News. All you need to do is go to their web site and watch virtually any of their shows for examples of Fox lying.
