How ironic that we just covered tables in the intro web class just a couple of days ago. Chris Coyier over at super duper website CSS-Tricks has some tricks using CSS to style tables. Enjoy.

With a capacity of 5 MB, the IBM 350 disk storage unit could have stored about two MP3 files. This photo, showing a unit getting forklifted onto a plane, is from 1956.

IBM’s history website has more information about the drive.

Resolving the iPhone resolution

We were talking about resolution the other day in our Photoshop class. This article is about the new iPhone but the information is still valid and quite fun to read. Well, I think things like this are fun to read…

[Note: in the articles about all this, they used units of pixels per inch, whereas I've used the size of the pixels themselves. You can flip all these numbers to convert. The iPhone4 has a resolution of 326 ppi (pixels per inch). Soleira says the eye can resolve 1 / 0.0021 = 477 ppi. However, normal vision can see at 1 / 0.0035 = 286 ppi. So the density of pixels in the iPhone 4 is safely higher than can be resolved by the normal eye, but lower than what can be resolved by someone with perfect vision.]
