the problem here is that resolution does not equate to window size
so those stats are useless
and the following one is made up --
93% of all cars have four or more seats
(substitute whatever number you think is right)
but take a look on your average freeway and tell me how many cars have all
four seats occupied
designers who force you to open your window to avoid a horizontal scroll
are just as self-centered as people who drive to work with three seats
empty
and you can tell 'em i said that
ask them if they'd like to be forced to take three people along with them
stupid analogy, i know
actually, in most cases i bet it's not the designers deciding to create ice
designs that are too wide for many users -- it's management (there's an
oxymoron if ever there was one)
gosh i'm snarky this week
