Giant 55" Computer touch screens at Fox News
 

I saw this tonight on The Daily Show and couldn't believe my eyes.

As cool as they look though, I wonder how useful they are? According to Appleinsider.com, the 55" screens have less screen resolution than a 9.7" Apple iPad.

The Apple Insider article is kind of dumb because he keeps making a point about the low resolution. My thinking is that OF COURSE it's low resolution. They are basically 55" HDTV's at standard HDTV resolution. If they were higher res they would be alot more than $7000 a pop.

But anyway, and But still... I hate Fox news, but this is still a pretty cool setup. Tacky maybe, but cool.

That's just ripe for an employee accidentally binging up a porn tube or something.

That looks utterly lame

Do the employees actually work on them in the background, or is it all just for show?

who would like to work on that, shitty!

fuck pornography on those puppies would be so good to view.

All in the interest of disseminating the bullshit more efficiently.

No, they're all actors.

It's fucking ridiculously laughable.

LOOK AT THE TINY PEOPLE!

here's another pic from the Fox Newsroom

I'm in 2 minds whether i like these or not, surely your arms will ache after a while?

let's see.... you hate fox news so you watch fox news EVERYDAY, your life must suck :2 cents:

We recently did a kiosk for the Air Force - It was comprised of six of those huge touch screens. All I can say is, after having those screens at our shop for 9~ months I was sold. If Apple had a more suitable touch screen OS for large screens like that I'd probably get one.

It's all for show... Fox news is trying to show us that they are technologically advanced.

Are they on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise?

Actually, I watched the debut show from that studio and Shep gave a tour, that whole setup is largely to monitor and verify the posts made on social media, before it becomes "news" -- just as porn changed, so has the news, with everyone toting camera phones and tweeting -- but just because you see it on the Internet doesn't make it true.

That room is where fact is separated from fiction, and the screens are the balls :thumbsup

but...their audience is stupid people, red necks and old ladies - they don't know or care about technology.

I give the new set one month before it goes...

Mmm. Less pixels than an iPad on a 55" display? 4 tweets and it's full up!

Maybe you meant to say "the screens are balls"?

did someone say huge screen and balls?

fuck that was funny

Id imagine work flow would be somewhat slower having to manually move your hand to select something on such a huge screen.

While I love screen real estate, if you cant select things quickly all that space does nothing to increase performance.

Absolutely the dumbest thing I've ever seen. "BATS - big area touch screens" lol - what a joke.

What I see there is that they are over charging for Advertisement spots.

I would never work with just a giant touch screen, regardless of the resolution.. :Oh crap

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Productive? Not really :)

Those screens were bought from the money they saved not having to pay a fact checker.

Reading comprehension isn't your thing, eh?

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

I like money.

As I said in the first line of the first post of this thread, I saw this on DAILY SHOW. But hey, thanks for trying.
