Cassandra


I wrote a few days ago about some questionable use of what is called "photoshopping" of images, but for dishonesty in advertising you may not even need to go that far according to an article by Elliot Temple on his Curi blog.

He examines a comparison that Microsoft made that showed the iPad was smaller that the ASUS VivoTac Smart with a diagonal measurement of 9.7" compared to 10.1". There is more to this than meets the eye and Temple shows that the screen area is actually larger on the iPad.
