This gaff from the current issue of PC World is probably just of an amusing
typo, but inumeracy may've helped it dodge the proofreaders:
...the Versa Ultralite's petite size and weight, 10.4 inch active-matrix XGA
(1024-by-768 inch) screen...
*1024-by-768 inches*? That's roughly 26m x 19.5m! (If they'd goofed using
centimeters for pixels instead, the thing would at least fit in your garage).
To PC World's credit, however, an article on privacy, cell phones and new
FCC regulations specifies that by October, cell phone carriers must be able
to pinpoint the 911 (emergency) call on newly-made Phase II phones "to within
50 to 300 meters". The FCC said it, and PC World, which isn't exactly
SI-friendly, let it stand. Now if we could just get them to stop saying "3
1/2-inch floppy" and 3 inch mini-CD...<g>
