1. I think just over 1280 |
|
but I let the window "float" and maximize Opera. I don't like the text spread out across 1920 pixels ;)

2. I keep mine at about 800, and I am disappointed that I have to scroll to the side to vote. |

11. What other toolbar buttons should we suscribe to? |
|
If you are in an extreme minority, why are you here?

Hell is a rainy day on the streets of San Francisco. I have nightmares of all those shinny pointy umbrella things glancing off my cheeks and forehead, drawing blood. Thank God for protective eye wear.

22. But you can always help the short ladies in the grocery stores |
|
by retrieving the items they need that are at the back of the top shelves without straining and feel good about yourself the rest of the day :D

24. Been doing that for years |
|
One of those short ladies helped me out by giving me her shopping because I lost mine. Our family hardly noticed but I some explaining why I purchased an egg full of stockings. I reasoned what is good enough for Broadway Joe Namath, was good enough for me.

34. A cool iPhone feature I just discovered today: |
|
And you may already know it.
I was doing a Google directions on my desktop and used the Send feature to email it to myself to check when I got to the city.
Opened the email on the iPhone and clicked on the link and it opened, not in the browser, but in the Google Map app, with the route shown!
And I love the blue pulsing "you are here" icon on the new 3G.
It's all more accurate than the navigation in my car, and it has live traffic.

I just got the Apple "Remote" app that will allow you to use your iPhone as a remote control for your iTunes playlist as long as its connected to a WiFi network.

36. Whoa oh! Gotta check that out. I haven't downloaded any apps yet. |
|
I gotta check a few out.
I also like having Street View in the Google map, and use the search function a LOT, cuz I travel often and if I need a Kinko's or something it finds it quickly and has a clickable phone number right on the damn screen.
It's the shit!

2560x1600 is barely four million pixels. WQXGA is so inadequate.

On my desktop it would be 1680.
