I’m a little behind this week. Could we do iFAQ on Sunday?

Ummmm…Now that I re-read my own post (what?) the cube would have a 14.1″ diagonal on each face, because I said it was “ten inches to a side”, so 10^2 + 10^2 = 200, and sqrt(200) = 14.1 something something. Turns out I can’t do math on Sunday Morning either. Or proper proof reading.

Sunday morning math problems? No fair.

Well, alrighty then. Touche. I stand corrected. Never mind. Move along now; nothing to see here.

Yes, I understand the 10″ measurement is the diagonal. But each side of the six square screens would measure 7.07″ on a side (based on the Pythagorean theorem). No bezels needed.

That iCube revelation is rock-solid, except, well, here’s the thing: geometry.

Yes, the hitch in your gitalong is that that vast supply of ten-inch touch screens isn’t of square screens, but oblong. And the ten-inch dimension refers to the diagonal of the screen. So: no squares means no cubes, and certainly not ten-inchers. There could be bezels to take up the slack, but that wouldn’t be Jobsian, now would it? Sorry to burst your bubble and rain on your parade…

Otherwise, I totally bought what you’re selling!

Yes, but does it come with a carrying strap?
