This has always bugged me. But the worst thing were those waters with added oxygen — as if you breathe with your stomach.
When Apple has a secret meeting you get the iPhone two years later. When Microsoft has a secret meeting you read about it in the NYT.
Tim Breen, replying to my link of this New York Times story about Microsoft supposedly meeting with Adobe to discuss their mutual Apple problem.
Two software companies, that are known for their unwieldy software and a lack understanding of their customers, meet to discuss their strategy concerning an agile rival that is the exact opposite of both of them.
I wonder if anybody at Apple will loose any sleep over this?
Retina Neuroscientist confirms Apple's Retina Display claims
It seems that Apple didn’t lie when claiming, the Retina Display, built-into the iPhone 4, has higher resolution than the human eye can resolve:
Dr. Curcio et. al. calculated 77 cycles/degree or .78 arcminutes/cycle of *retinal* resolution. However, this does not take into account the optics of the system which degrade image quality somewhat giving a commonly accepted resolution of 1 arcminute/cycle. So, if a normal human eye can discriminate two points separated by 1 arcminute/cycle at a distance of a foot, we should be able to discriminate two points 89 micrometers apart which would work out to about 287 pixels per inch. Since the iPhone 4G display is comfortably higher than that measure at 326 pixels per inch, I’d find Apple’s claims stand up to what the human eye can perceive.
I urge you to read the entire article by Bryan Jones, he very comprehensibly illustrates the difficulties in measuring these things and shows the differences between the displays of the first generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G, the iPad and the iPhone 4.
