iPad Retina Display

Jason Snell / @jsnell:

Lots of people saying they wish they had Retina Display on iPad. Obviously iOS 4 won’t do that. :-) But I don’t mind. iPad display’s fine.

OK, the iPad’s screen is 1024x768 @ 130dpi. Physical dimensions work out to 7.88”x5.91”.

Those same dimensions at 326 ppi would result in 2568x1926 pixels — more than my current 30” Cinema Display (2560x1600).

Thus, between the display, memory and graphics processing requirements, we’re not getting a iPad + Retina Display any time soon.

Though it probably wouldn’t be 326 ppi, it would be 260 ppi making the display 2048x1536, which is obviously a lot more manageable.

It is a disconnect that is growing in the Internet age as concepts of intellectual property, copyright and originality are under assault in the unbridled exchange of online information, say educators who study plagiarism.

Digital technology makes copying and pasting easy, of course. But that is the least of it. The Internet may also be redefining how students — who came of age with music file-sharing, Wikipedia and Web-linking — understand the concept of authorship and the singularity of any text or image.

Simultaneously terrible and amazing. I laugh every time I hear it.

Wait what, so if I get a free customer what does that customer get? Another free customer; and what do they get? Another free customer. Sounds like an infinite loop to me TechCrunch. Z
