It does a pretty good job of mimicking the Newspaper style with medium text and wide margins. There’s also a bit of JavaScript to shrink images so they don’t go outside the bounds of the text.

At work the first thing we do when we get any new computer in is to wipe the hard drive and put our Windows image on it. After that you tend to spend a couple hours re-installing all of the drivers and the few utilities that actually add value to the computer. I will admit that IBM Lenovo has a decent auto-installer, it’s slow, and it bugs you periodically to press a button just for kicks, but it sure beats downloading and installing everything by hand.It just amazes me how Apple is the only company that can give you a single CD image that installs all of the drivers and utilities you need for all of their computers. One disk will cover you if you have a MacBook, iMac, MacBook Pro, or Mac Pro, and when you’re done, everything works. There are no “unknown hardware” icons left in device manager, no mysterious keys on the keyboard that don’t work. Hell, the latest versions of Boot Camp even support two finger scrolling. Best of all, when you’re done, there’s no crap to uninstall.(via daringfireball)

Eminem is suing Apple because iPods can play illegal downloads of Eminem’s songs.
“Eight Mile and Martin have demanded that Apple cease and desist its reproduction and distribution and Apple has refused,” the complaint alleges.

Reproduction and distribution of what? The iPod? Seriously, I don’t get this at all. Is his career that much in the toilet?(via fsj)

Even if iSuppli got all of the component prices correct, it doesn’t mean that’s what it actually cost to make an iPhone. R&D isn’t free, neither is the talent that created the iPhone.(via daringfireball)
