Hands-on ‘confirms’ 960×640 iPhone display
Sunday, May 30th, 2010
The often rumored 960×640 iPhone screen could be validated today through an up-close study of the LCD. Looked at through a microscope, Apple’s panel appears to have far smaller pixels than the iPhone 3GS or even the crisp 854×480 screen of the Motorola Droid.

Correction to our MacBook Pro benchmarks, issue 222.
Sunday, May 30th, 2010Eagle-eyed MacFormat readers will notice that the benchmark table that accompanies the review of the new Core i7 and Core i5 MacBook Pros in the latest issue of MacFormat issue 222 makes little sense.

If you're like most of us, your collection of digital music has a few problems that build up over time, making it an iffy proposition to simply copy a folder from your hard drive to your phone or music player. There are duplicate files, files with bad or missing tags, maybe a few stray songs purchased from a different store in a separate folder from the material you rip from CDs; and although your slick new media player software supports displaying album art, most of your albums don't have artwork attached to them. Why not set aside a few hours to give your library a quick scrubbing?
