If you want to see the images in actual 1:1 resolution, here is how:
* Click on the image in the text.
* Click on the image in the tweet.
* Right-click on the image in the pop-up.
* Open image in new tab.
* Change the "large" at the end of the URL to "orig". Load that URL.
Congrats, you now see a huge (blurry upscaled) image that you can actually read. You are out 3 times the network traffic that was needed. Why would anyone link to their own tweet just to show an (already thumbnailed) image in an article is beyond me. And don't even ask me about my thoughts on Twitter's UI, showing a tiny version of images when you click on them is not sane.
- leftnode 11y agoWhile I completely agree with you - it's an ridiculous choice - you can just right click and click "Open Image in New Tab" in Chrome. Which ironically is located on the authors own domain.
- anc84 11y agoNice! I "gave up and tried something the author did not intend" only when I ended up with Twitter's tiny images.
- dublinben 11y agoThose aren't actually the full size images. It looks like the author has replaced the image links to go directly to the full size image now. Example: http://static.lukew.com/dropdowns_compare_2x.png http://static.lukew.com/dropdowns_compare_2x.png
- smpetrey 11y agomy guess is he is mining for twitter interactions. not justifiable IMO, but a reason nonetheless
- scoggs 11y agoOn an article about saving precious clicks and time due to poor UX/UI choices, no less. Oh sweet irony.
- simoncion 11y agoshrug I can read the text in the images just fine on my 96dpi laptop screen. I suspect that I'm not the only one. :) Edit: Hell, they're even easier to read at the same view distance on my 216dpi Gen 1 Nexus 7. I'm using Firefox on the laptop and Mobile Firefox on the tablet.
- ljk 11y agolooks like he fixed it, now clicking on the images work
