No shit. All it takes is 2 weeks in a computer store to figure that one out :)

Too bad they don't don't mention how many people responded and just show "3d" chart instead of mentioning how many percent actually choose which answer.

In addition, I believe it's a good possibility we matte lovers have stronger feelings on the subject than glossy lovers, and are thus more apt to reply to such a questionnaire when encountered in a magazine. In fact, it wasn't even mentioned how these answers were obtained at all.

Again, the results don't surprise me, but this page is worthless. If you want to do research do it properly or don't do it at all. The best use for that page is printing it out and using it as toiletpaper.

A co worker has two glossy widescreens. I'm sitting ~8 meters from him and can shave if I wanted to.

Well, it's the same coworker who punched a bunch of dials on his telephone (Fixed, not mobile), looked confused, punched more dials, looked even more confused, and then realized it wasn't a calculator.

how frustrating is it calculators and keyboards have a completely different layout than a phone pad?

It's not, because my calculator & keyboard has the same layout.

... And as far as I can see your HP 12c also has the same layout (...?) so now I'm confused.

I think you misread. calculators and keyboard num pads are the same, but phone keypads are flipped.

Oh, right.

Yeah, now you mention it ... I never noticed before though! Strange ...

So how did we get from matte laptop screens to the number layout of phones?
