I'm looking forward to desktop displays getting increased resolution and 4:3 aspect ratios back some day. It's mildly ridiculous that we'll have the mobile device market to thank for it.
I'm looking forward to the return of the 16:10 aspect ratio.
Tear up your paycheck every week, I'm sure your employer would love it.
Oh, you want to get paid for it? Then you must not like your job quite as much as you say. If you did, you'd do it for free.
Why would you do something for free that someone would pay you to do?
If you had nothing to do all day, you'd get bored soon enough.
I take exception to the implication that I have no interests beyond work. I don't do all the things I'd like to simply because I don't have enough time. I don't work overtime. It's just that there aren't enough hours in the day to pursue both my interests and a means of paying for those interests.
Believe me, if I could never work a day again in my life and just enjoy my hobbies, I would.
When I drive in cities that use the grid model, I find myself bored. They are far too predictable and lose the power to surprise and entertain. It also is mildly irritating that there are no true short cuts as there are so few diagonals. The distance between any two points is always an integral multiple of "a block". How is that any fun?
I'd rather drive in a city that was meant to be efficient than one meant to be "fun."
Unless the Kindles just magically appear in the wearhouse and market themselves.
This point has no substance. EVERYTHING requires marketing, not just the Kindles. When you hear that Nintendo is selling Wiis at a profit, you don't say, "Well except not, because they're spending millions on marketing!" You wouldn't say that for any product. Why should that enter the equation now?
Well, I think the issue is that they keep reinventing the wheel, and the result is that instead of people being more productive with a tool they are familiar with, the changes in the UI keeps getting in the way.
Reinventing the wheel isn't a bad thing when your target market is people who don't know what a wheel is. Besides, if the wheel had never been reinvented, we'd still be rolling cargo along on logs.
Change isn't bad.
I think the news here is that someone is using them to actually render and display graphics, rather than to compute bitcoins.
So, uh... Why is that news?
