Actually, it&#8217;s the content that really matters.' Hear, hear! Fidelity is great and all, but there comes to a point when I care less about the quality and more about the content. Actually, it's more a spectrum of appreciation than any fixed point on a graph.">Khoi Vinh on the tradeoff between convenience and high-definition</a>]]></description>

            <title>Is modern web design too like print design?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.gyford.com/phil/writing/2009/12/02/design.php" title="'If I was standing in 1995 and looking ahead to 2009 and was told how all of those technical restrictions would be lifted, of what would be technically possible, I&#8217;d imagine 2009&#8217;s web to look a lot more exciting than it does. I&#8217;d expect it to look less like a magazine or a newspaper and to look more like what the web could be.' Agreed. But I think that the fact that this question is even being asked is a sign that we might see a more exciting web in the near future. The last few years have mostly been about function, about what's under the hood. But we've got that sorted, more or less; now's the time to have some fun with the web again.">Is modern web design too like print design?</a>]]></description>
