"It's one thing to zoom around in PhotoShop while you're editing and tweaking an image. It would be quite another thing if you HAD TO rely on zooming in and out when you browsing a web page in a constant struggle between lost detail, eyestrain, and …

We're talking about the "new Macintosh Powerbook high display resolution" in this thread. On the Macintosh, Mac OS X has provided, or will in Jaguar, all the tools to genuinely solve this problem. Will we sit in front of our computers at a singl…

Several people have now said that scaling the fonts at all looks terrible... Where exactly do you think your fonts come from now? Do you think that when you open Word and select a 9pt font, then a 10pt, then a 69pt, then a 48pt, that the computer…

You know, we're squabbling here about aesthetics and the design of current sites, but the fact is that we MUST make progress where DPI is concerned eventually. Self-assembling organic LED monitors are going to be available, and sooner than you might…

Possible explanations: G3s do less branch prediction than G4s. Ray-tracing involves MANY branch failures. G4s perform best when fed tasks that are easily divded into vector-space tasks and integer tasks. There are so many vector-transforms in …

The old trackballs were great, but they inevitably led to thicker machines, and interfered wih the battery. If you take the battery out from a new iBook, you can see it's right under half the trackpad button. Personally, I'd go with the slightly thi…

"What about the mouse?" I think Apple believes that it's one-button question is about to fade. Microsoft and all the major notebook companies feel stylus input is the way of the future for portables. Bill Gates often says he only uses a Tablet PC no…

All kidding aside, Apple played with hundreds of ways for the GUI to be. Double-clicks, triple-clicks, shift-clicks, folders that could be expanded like a slinky by dragging the top layer up, and many others. The Apple labs did extensive research o…

No, no. He had to set that account up so the Apple spies couldn't trace him. He used an internet cafe computer afterr ducking out of the way of the Apple police. Now he's on the run again, but when he gets a chance I expect an update on the one-ARMe…

Bah. The Toshiba thing is all tricked up, and involves a new purchase. My mother had a trackpad add-on for the PC back in 1997 that had a normal trackpad, just like the ones on Apple's laptops today, that included a metal stylus with a small disc co…

Regarding tearing and perceptual limits, know tha t you are in deep, deep waters here. The human eye has at least three layers of perception. One is our conscious chroma/luminance awareness of a relatively static scene. There is a more primitive awa…
