I'm always on the hunt for new websites here at World in HD and we have found a very unique layout and HD content site indeed. They call themselves the paperless magazine and that is a good name for it indeed because...well see for yourself.
A public version is here at http://ctngreen.com/mag/ and http://www.ctnluxe.com/mag where real virtual magazine stying and interactive elements testing is happening right now.
( It works on 1280, 1366, 1680 and 1920 screen resolutions ) Requires a mouse, remote control buttons left - right or basically your laptop touchpad. The Remote control arrow keys on some Media Centers turn the page also.
Clicking into a page may offer a click or launch a decent sized video.
It would be really cool if as time progresses the personal computing engine connects to the big screen and the web, and allow for family time in a way that is usually not done on a PC. From what i see the PC is a one-on-one device, we have 3 here and from the outside looking in it would appear that there are rooms full of zombies staring into screens and connecting with people that are not in the room with them. Don't get me wrong I think its good in that everyone's tastes are enough different that they are infact rapidly consuming content in their own channel. Not so good in that you have to call them on their cell or IM them to get their attention. Walking up and standing behind them gets you ignored. There is more going on when everyone is interacting with the same thing on the big screens, be it video games or movies or whatever. That's one of the main reasons why I prefer to use large wide aspect screens with my computers so that we can all get toghether share and put our minds together on specific projects and activities. Just something to think about if you have such Zombies in your home. I know I do.
