Transmedia Design for 3 Screens - Make That 5 | Jakob Nielsen 

I am a screen-size bigot: bigger screens deliver hugely higher user productivity. Anyone who’s experienced a 30-inch monitor cringes at the idea of doing a major project on anything smaller. I’m astounded that PC makers don’t offer even bigger screens. (I’d be first in line for a 40-inch screen with 300 dpi crispness.)

Uncle Jakob is talking nonsense here. A 40-inch screen would make me more productive? How? By allowing me to write in MASSIVE TEXT or have all my apps open at once? Sounds ideal.

Also, transmedia design? I’m pretty sure the term responsive design has been coined and already has widespread acceptance. It’s almost as if he decided he had to make up a new term in the hope that it would make him the authority on the subject.
