"A friend of mine wrote this, and he sent me an email and he said I could use it. I earned more in the first day of selling Elements than I did in the past 5 years of Google ads on periodictable.com" re The Elements, from Wolfram Apple's iAds outGoogle Google. That's not going to make them happy bedfellows. PDF Viewing - sensible. iPhone 4: - 326 pixels per inch. Wow. I remember when the Macintosh and Laserprinter combination came out, we used to joke about how cool it would be to have 300dpi screens. And now we do, on phones at least. -720p at 30fps video. That'll be nice. And a 5Mpx camera. Have to see it to know what the photos will be like, but looks like it'll be much better. - Folders! I trust that means what I think it means. Haven't got time to read any more, but interesting stuff. Any Mac stuff, I wonder? -- Pd |
