I have never seen so many boys with overly preened hairdos. @24: My favorite are the Japanese hair magazines (men’s).

I thought I was some sort of freak... well, that is still likely the case, but now for one less reason!

It's not mine. I think it's some designers out of Italy or something. @PE: I read magazines backwards too. You should go check out the magazine rack at Kinokuniya books in Rockefeller Center. It's all Japanese magazines, which were MADE to be read from right to left, so you would probably find yourself going right to left. I do. It's kind of like the sensation of seeing the toilet water spin the opposite way in the southern hemisphere: odd and disorienting but somehow satisfying. You would love it. ;-) @17: Nope.

The Mosaic mode is amazing. I have not read the full text, but I think this guy set his camera with an intervalometer to shoot an image every five minutes, 24/7. As they kill the whale he shoots faster. He calls it his "photographic heartbeat". Now just try THAT with a paper magazine! How ’bout this for an interesting interface:

If I had to guess I'd say it's because you're not supposed to. I have no idea why I read them backwards. If I had to guess I’d say it’s because you’re not supposed to.

Once I buy it I read it in the right direction. I know that for a while there was an emphasis on fitting all the info on one screen, without scrolling, but really everyone understands scrolling. I find content easiest to read online if I scroll down and click "next" when I get to the bottom. I don't really think anything has to change dramatically. What needs to happen is great content has to be readily available, and easy to find. That's it. Just to add in, I read backwards if I’m at the news stand.
