    Sounds really good, now we need devices that can make good use of it.

    Why do the lines in that graph look like they were drawn in paint?

    Looks good though; someone I know liked the idea of having a large curved screen instead of 3 monitors in an Eyefinity/Surround setup. Something like this (well, curved displays in general) would be really good for something like that.

    Odd question...

    It's because there are no data points marked on the graph, and the line width is quite large, hence the lines drawn between invisible points lead to it looking a bit... funky.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: News - Corning reveals Willow Glass for flexible displays

    Isn't this flexi glass just a covering rather than the actual display itself? And can it be as tough or scratch resistant as current Gorilla Glass?
