Today on the 5: Apple is clearly backing the retina display in a big way. I wonder what that's going to mean once everyone starts jumping on board. There are some big implications that may come about once people start looking for content to exploit those beautiful pixels.

Today on the 5: Well, you see it time and again. A post about a new phone, and sure enough somewhere in the comments some moron claims the type of phone they prefer had this or that feature first. What does that do for anyone? Isn't whining about who had something first in tech just a way to give a company a pass on innovating?

Today on the 5: I just got out of the theater after watching Prometheus. Here's my take on the new Ridley Scott film.

Today on the 5: I've seen a lot of stuff around the web lately taking issue with skeptics on various topics.

Today on the 5: Remember the good old days when it was Sega and Nintendo battling it our for console supremacy? Today it's Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, but I think before too long we'll be back down to only a pair of big rivals trying to take each other out.

Today on the 5: I've noticed that many blog posts that have a lot of good things to say also start to bury themselves under an avalanche of words. Not only does it diffuse the points, but it can lead to tangents that that end up undermining those points. I hope we avoid that problem on the show, and on my 5s.
