Could a 30-in. monitor help you do your job faster? - Yahoo! News

Could a 30-in. monitor help you do your job faster? - Yahoo! News

This story is about research commissioned by Apple: They claim you can save up to 50% of the time spent in operations involving dragging content from window to window (a few seconds).

This sort of commissioned research is a great way for companies to get cheap marketing - but in this case the reporter didn't play along. The article goes on to quote several experts disputing the claim, they say the saving are 5% at best. What's more, they recommend a better alternative: two, much smaller screens.

Better luck next time Apple...
