Incomprehensographs®!
An ongoing chronicle of the fine art of making people know less than they did before.
The Incomprehensographs® are back baby. Don’t know what these are all about, but damn does Dildo like arrows.
Apparently Prince McDildo had a lot of pent-up incomprehensographability bottled up during his convalescence, because he used this article to post a four-part series of Incomprehensographs® detailing the history of hand-held computing. Oi, the crossing arrows, they kill me!
Featuring this one not so much for the content, although it does feature Prince McDildo’s annoying over-use of arrows, but for the truly incomprehensible use of pixels per Mega/Gigabyte as a scale. Yeah, what I really want to do when measuring data storage is count pixels.
Ok, so this one is less incomprehensible than it is utterly pointless. As my main man bynkii would say, “it’s so pointless it’s almost spherical.” Ostensibly, this graph is supposed to demonstrate that integrated operating systems dominate the smart-phone market. While that may very well be true, this graph does a sorry job of proving it. Where are the citations for the underlying data? Of course, nothing here is cited. The data might as well have been delivered on the wings of fairies. I guess that the Y-axis is meant to represent market share, but Danny never labels his graphs so that’s just a guess. Again, where is the data to back up the claims. For example, the graph claims that licensed operating systems run 99% of server applications. Prove it.
Feh, just when I thought that Danny was getting better.
It’s not so much that this graph is incomprehensible. After all it’s just a timeline of random Apple applications that Prince McDildo has deemed “Pro.” What stands out here is the context. Specifically the use in an article where McDildo is just wildly speculating on the name, release date and features of a mythical update to Aperture based on some random pre-release book listing that he found on Amazon. I suppose you could call this a Pointlessograph®. Hmmm.
Good Christ! The axes (not that Dilger bothers with such trifles like labeling them) change direction in mid-graph!!!
100% Recycled Pixels
If Danny can be lazy, so can I. Here is an incomprehensograph® used by “Prince McLean” that was already used by Daniel Eran Dildo. Enjoy.
