Fine print

It looks like a new way to read the internets had been developed:



This, it seems to me, ought to revolutionize internet access, particularly for mobile devices. Think of it: now on the NYT, the entire paper can be right there on the front page, just at varying scales. So you'd have a headline and subhed, say, and then the entire article right underneath it. With something like the iPhone's two-fingered zoom, you could easily zoom to whatever scales you want. Neat!

UPDATE: As someone pointed out to me over lunch, this would actually be a pretty horrible UI. But: whatever!
