Retinas and Righteous Reproduction

Calling it “the best display ever on a mobile device,” Apple says its new A5X chip, quad-core graphics powered, iPad 3 retina display offers a 2048x1536 resolution, plus 44 percent better color saturation and 3.1 million pixels in the same 9.7-inch space as the iPad 2 — four times that device’s pixel count, and a million pixels more than HDTV — providing 264 pixels per inch (ppi) worth of razor-sharp text and rich, vibrant colors. The iPhone 4S offers a much smaller, but still sharp, version of the retina display; with a 960x640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi on a 3.5 inch screen.

Businesses and Blogs: A Love-Hate Relationship

In researching the role of sex bloggers for the debut of the NoveltyBiz section’s Blogger Spotlight, I reached out to some of the professionals I assumed were benefitting from the increased attention that sex toys were getting thanks to the rise of the blogosphere. However, I was introduced to a volatile business-to-blogger dynamic that almost resembled that of a couple of exes trying to reconcile but plagued by deception, exploitation and shortsighted interactions.

Porn Customer Service and The Golden Rule

Customer service is always going to be important, regardless of what type of business you’re in.

What applies to mainstream marketing still applies in porn and adult novelty marketing.
