Oh mate, this is my favourite comment. It's about 32 hours later and my right ear is still ringing. Full on white noise. There was a point near the end of the concert where the band asked the crowd to scream as loud as they could. Fuck me, did they oblige. It was piercing.
I'm at another music venue tonight, a fraction of the size. I'm basically deaf. Last night was inescapable high pitched sound. Tonight is calming whale song in comparison.
Unbelievable guess! It wasn't, but she is also the world's biggest Ghost fan. She went to watch them a week or so ago and cried with happiness throughout.
Fair enough, but if I were the photo editor for Boden, I'd have questioned whether the model's pose draws adequate attention to the style and colour of the trousers more than it does to the fact she may have pissed herself.
Except they don't use the space well do they, as you've said. Toolbars, menus, status bars, task bars etc all reside horizontally.
Most widescreen monitors in offices allow you to put two documents next to each other, but still don't let you see the whole page and remain readable. There's no question that a taller monitor wouldn't solve that, because as you've said earlier, why not rotate your screen?
As mentioned, this doesn't solve the problem of apps not utilising the available space efficiently. "Just open another app" isn't a solution to "Why doesn't the app I'm working on appropriately use the available space".
Can't imagine there are too many traditional offices with 40" 6k screens.
As I say, I think it's unfair to blame users for "not using the screen properly" when most office software is set up for portrait, while the screens are horizontal. Yes you can use multiple windows (assuming your widescreen display is big enough to allow productive working with two smaller windows), or multiple screens, or rotate them etc, but they feel like workarounds to get around the fact that the applications work naturally in portrait, and most laptop screens for example don't easily accommodate any of those options. Which is probably why you see more 3:2 laptop displays than standalone monitors.
Essentially if you want to use a monitor horizontally that's fine, if you want to rotate it vertically that's also fine, if you want to have equal horizontal and vertical real estate you're out of your mind.
Assuming the software takes that into account too though, yes?
I mean, yes we can rotate screens if the hardware allows for it, but the defaults always seem to be "screen is horizontal, software control is also horizontal", therefore eating up a percentage of the available working document space, which itself, is generally portrait.
