My hope is that the iPad3 does away with sharp edges. When the iPad2 came out, people kept parroting marketing propaganda, saying that it had "rounded edges". It was truly astounding that almost the entire tech media got bamboozled by that nonsense.…

I think we agree but a minor quibble is that people with poor vision don't see the same thing by moving an object closer. A number of things are different at a close focal distance. The same object takes up much more of the field of vision. This aff…
