Apple also places an unusual emphasis on interface design. It sweats the cosmetic details that don't seem very important until you really sweat them. "I actually have a photographer's loupe that I use to make sure every pixel is right," says Scott Forstall, Apple's vice president of Platform Experience. "We will argue over literally a single pixel." As a result, when you swipe your finger across the screen to unlock the iPhone, you're not just accessing a system of nested menus, you're entering a tiny universe in which data exist as bouncy, gemlike objects...
...Unlike most competitors, Apple also places an inordinate emphasis on interface design. It sweats the cosmetic details that don't seem very important until you really sweat them.

...only SD memory cards. Both come with lenses (for $100 more, the D50 also comes with an 18-55mm starter zoom lens). Both are compatible with many of Nikon's pricier pro lenses as well. The D50 has two LCD screens. One is a two-inch, 130,000-pixel, color display for reviewing shots and viewing menu options. The other is a little always-on monochrome display that shares quick facts, like your flash setting or the number of shots remaining on your memory card. The D40 has just one LCD, a larger 2.5-inch, 230,000-pixel screen...
...many suggest that the Blu-ray advantage isn't worth the price or the wait. Sure, movies on Blu-ray have a picture quality six times higher than a standard DVD, but the vast majority of so-called high definition TVs don't even have the 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution (known as 1080p) to show Blu-ray's full glory. From a home-theater point of view, though, the PS3 was not only the first Blu-ray player to be priced well under $1,000, but the first to be introduced from Sony, the mother...
...Movies may reach 4GB in size, and will be encoded in the "720p" high-def spec, which means each widescreen frame will have a pixel resolution of 1,280 x 720. Where possible, the files will include a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround-sound track. The files will take 6 or 7 hours to download over a cable broadband connection, according to Microsoft. However, given the wide variety of household Internet connections, your own experience may be better or worse. By comparison, the standard-definition feature-length films currently available on Apple's iTunes Store are generally just under...
