TV companies don't have to worry about whether viewers have 14-inch or 32-inch screens; the picture just scales to fit.
It should be this way with web-sites too.
Mind you, my TV is the wrong shape nowadays - 4/3 just doesn't work too well with 16/9 broadcasts. SWMBO feels ripped off if parts of the screen are blank, so she always chooses Pan & Scan. I don't like the edges being cropped so I prefer Letterbox.
... What we need is a good small (approx 1.2 litre) turbo diesel in a ~1000 lbs open wheel in line 2 seater. Put in low/no sulpher diesel. Give it a good suspension, and low drag. Then I have a car I can drive fast when I want/need to, and it will handle hella good. All while getting 60mph with me driving like an idiot. It would still be cheaper than a hybrid too, same weigh reductions. aluminum frame and fiberglass/carbon fiber body pieces...
Many drivers apparently can't count to one.
I think quite a lot are counting the Roman way: starting from 1, waiting a second, then thinking "2! I'm 2 seconds behind; that's okay then".
Anyway, 2 seconds is only valid at 40mph (according to the UK Highway Code, which admittedly makes conservative assumptions about reaction time and braking force); at 60, you'd need over 2.5 seconds, and 3s at 70.
15 feet behind at 70mph (like the f*ckwit following me this morning) is suicide.
Let's see. 12/480 is 1/40th. A very interesting definition of "full".
Having promoted USB 2 as a 480 Mb/s, the appropriate label strikes me as "fraudulent" and "deliberately misleading".
If they're changing the definition of USB 2 (or the name of USB 1.1, depending on how you look at it), then I don't see why they couldn't also re-label 12Mb/s to "Medium Speed" or "Legacy Speed", and then re-define "Full Speed" to mean 480Mb/s except that would have been too clear to consumers.
Now when a customer asks for "full speed USB 2" ports, that's exactly what they'll get; but it might not be what they were expecting.
Forthcoming: the automotive industry will improve car mileage and durability by clarifying that a mile is actually only 1000 feet.
Ha! In the UK, we've already improved our mileage by having a different definition of gallon...
Sony stuff is a cut above most other brands, and here's how I know:
I used to work for an electrical retailer in the UK, at their head office, where they also had a service department doing repairs.
The one brand the engineers all hated working on was Sony, but that's because Sony equipment was far more sophisticated that the other manufacturers' kit, and just too damned difficult to understand and fix.
A bit like how a modern Audi is more difficult for Joe Public to work on than some old Ford or Peugeot.
Some of those Japanese are just too clever for their own good:)
And there's a aplit infinitive in para 3: "... solutions to fundamentally solve these challenges"
should of course read: "solutions fundamentally to solve these challenges". Tut tut.
In fact, in the current political climate it might be a good idea to excise the word "fundamentally".
It might also be worth replacing a few words with these, which emerged from dissociated-press:
proliferampant

Been there, done that.
Wasn't me, but a fellow student in an image processing class who coded something like:
for (i=0; iY; ++i);
for (j=0; jX; ++i);
do_stuff(i,j);
We spent a whole day trying to solve that one, until he suddenly yelled out "SEMICOLON!!!".
How we laughed. Eventually.

Must upgrade one of these days...
