Fucking Dana Boyd. And also fuck Quartz. I'm officially ignoring that domain now. "Microsoft Researcher Slags Facebook Purchase Using Trigger Words" is a better title.

The impossibly stupid thing is that motion parallax vs. binocular vision has been the battle of 3D imaging for over a hundred years. There's nothing new here. The gender differences of perception? Interesting stuff, no doubt. But it takes a real bitch to use the limitations of technology to take a swing at The Patriarchy.

You know what? Fuck her book, too. It was on my list but at this point I feel like I'd be giving my money to Ann Coulter.
