DISQUS

Could primarily be because of the way we read/speed read - we scan the central part of the document - hence makes sense to have "vertical screen orientated" applications (I'd say even Outlook ought to be here!). Whereas watching movies, pictures or any such application which requires capturing a lot of info in one glance would require wide-screen- again primarily because of the way the human eye works! So it is pretty sensible to have two kinds of display. Nice observation though!

u are relying on the thought that screens are being used primarily for work. in the age that we live in now, computer displays are being used more and more as a substitute entertainment center. games, movies, and the like.. not so much for excel or word processing. for work, such as that u have mentioned, one rarely needs screens larger than 21". for other uses, the larger, the more real the experience.

I completely agree. Thats why I have made a blog on my website which has more verticle spread compared to other pages of my website.
