Picnic for one
Posted on Friday, June 22, 2007 in Uncategorized

“We’re not fans of hiking—obviously—but this Picnic For One design would be the thing we’d take with us if we were hiking. The container is waterproof and skinnable (in case you don’t like military grey), and contains a plate, a cup, cutlery and room for spices. Plus, you know, food. So after you finish up your picnic for one, you can neatly pack everything back into the container before your throw yourself off the cliff because you’ve got nobody to go hiking with you.” from gizmodo

Apple and Microsoft’s on-screen font differences

The differences in a nut shell:
- Apple generally believes that the goal of the algorithm should be to preserve the design of the typeface as much as possible, even at the cost of a little bit of blurriness.
- Microsoft generally believes that the shape of each letter should be hammered into pixel boundaries to prevent blur and improve readability, even at the cost of not being true to the typeface.
