The Joy of Tech comic
Comment on the Comic |


The JoyPoll was...
Why do you think Apple calls the new iPhone's screen a Retina Display?
  • Because you need to have good retinas to see the difference.
  • Because really, your eyes will pop out when you see how good it is.
  • Because Eye-Popping Display sounded too cheesy.
  • Because calling it the 326 PPI Display, wouldn't really roll off the tongue.
  • Because calling it the You can See the Fear in our Competitor's Eyes Display was just a little too smug.
  • Because calling it a Rectum Display didn't go over too well with Steve.

We were an Amazon Associate for over 15 years, but soon after we published a comic unflattering to Amazon, they canceled our account.

When we tried to find out why, we received this reply... "under the terms of the Operating Agreement, we may terminate your account at any time, with or without cause. This termination is final and not subject to appeal." Gee, thanks Jeff.

But don't worry, we will still bite the hands that feed us, even if they don't help feed us anymore.

 About us...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech news.

We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech will soon celebrate its 10th anniversary. We're very proud to be featured regularily on places like AllThingsD (from the people who publish The Wall Street Journal), PC Live Magazine, and many others, both on the web and in print.

We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
