One of These Things is Not Like the Other

The Mona Lisa is a little blurry when you look up close. Unacceptable.

@nojo: The picture’s a little small. Full-size you can see La Joconde on the screens of the iPhones. It’s extremely artistic.

@Benedick: I was watching a replay of the Apple keynote yesterday — because that’s what I do — and the moment somebody walks onstage, dozens of iPhones are raised from the audience to shoot video. The sea of glowing screens in the darkened hall was touching. Or frightening. I haven’t decided.

@Benedick: And, once again, this pretty lady gets no respect.

@blogenfreude: That’s a lovely thing. It’s impossible to get near the Leonardo. A lot of the museum is behind what looks like bullet-proof glass. But still I was overwhelmed by how gorgeous it all is. Can’t wait to go back.

@nojo: Did the keynote happen to mention the workers who assembled those glowing screens? I guess collateral damage is okay if it’s kept safely out of sight.

@blogenfreude: I love sitting on the bench just across the way, gazing at her and spacing out. Next time I’m down that way I’ll pay her a visit for you.

Come on now, it’s the MacBookPro, hands down.
What a seductive video they put out – – maybe I’m too easy.

@BobCens: maybe I’m too easy That is what I’ve heard.

@mellbell: nice that you can sometimes spend 5 minutes alone in that room before someone else shows up.

@Dave H: Did the keynote happen to mention the workers who assembled those glowing screens?

No. Nor did it mention the performance artist who lied about them.

@Benedick: Isn’t that what the Bishop said to the lady?
