Pokemon charity marathon aims to catch them all at the same time

@Frostblade10 There are working glitches to catch Mew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r74vohXFszA for example.

Why 4:3?

Feb 3rd 2010 7:50AM (TUAW.com)
Personally I believe 16:9 is more useful than 4:3 with the exception of bringing 1:1 copies of current magazines to screens, which is why I presume they chose this aspect ratio. 16:9 landscape is better suited to videos, while 9:16 portrait is better suited to displaying documents since it's generally accepted that less width (within reason) makes it easier to read (if you don't understand this, consider how difficult it would be to read the content in this post if it spanned the entire width of your screen). Imagine a developer coding for a 4:3 aspect ratio, including the ability to rotate the display seems like an awful waste of time to try and re-jig the layout slightly for very slight benefits.

Why 4:3?

Why can't your turn the widescreen pad round, let the accelerometer do its job and experience more content vertically? I'd go so far as to say that 16:9 or similar is more of a multi-purpose size as it allows two sizes (16:9 or 9:16) compared to 4:3 which, offers very little advantage when rotated.

What's missing from the iPad

Jan 27th 2010 6:49PM (TUAW.com)
Personally, I think the biggest oversight is the lack of iPad to iPhone/iPod sync. I mean, this was supposed to be halfway between an iPod and a laptop, would it not make sense that this device could be self sustaining without a laptop/PC to sync with? I was under the assumption that the iPad would be more like a netbook in that sense, but as it stands it's just another device that fits in incredibly tiny niche that I know I have no use for.

Being in that important meeting with your clipboard where you look busy but you're actually watching NSFW porn. :)
