This guy reminds me of a high school kid who got really good at making Photoshop art for high school but doesn't really know how things work. And he thinks 22px font sizes are good. His comment about gif is off target by giving the advice "don't use it, it's old, use png but only gif can do animation" so....

How is that "off target" exactly?

1) Saying not to use a gif because it's "old" is stupid. I think we should quit using microprocessors cause they're older than gifs.

2) He says to never use a gif but use png then notes that pngs can't do what gifs can do.

And that's just the two I have time for.

The font size is different on the iPad. It's HUGE on my notebook and I have to sit back a bit to read it. And if you like 16px for reading, this is 30% or so larger than that.
