I said this earlier upthread - my comments are directed as to what people are looking <at>. Not what they <see> and whether or not it is any utility for them. I liked seeing the images, I'm not disparaging them etc. In otherwords, what I'm talking about is the structure of that information. The images we are looking at have certain elements restuctured in photoshop. This is most obvious in the WWW image that was in the HN story. The way the pixels have been modified alters the structure of the space and to some extent other elements to make it easier to see more detail. This may or may not be subtle, but it arguably "works." People respond to it. I don't need to make my own image to demonstrate this, that's silly. There are a lot of HN readers that are computer savvy and are likely to be in conversations at some stage in their lives with people who understand these things...designers and artists ... etc are becoming more important and more integrated into the startup scene.
