i think they do that just to point out out that its a teensy bit taller that standard 16:9. but lol its funny you should point that out i never thought of that.
I'm cool with widescreen as long as the screen is big enough. 15" widescreen just doesn't make sense. 17" is fine. On a 15" I much prefer 4:3 to be able to read the darn text!
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Why not 8:5? People still reduce fractions and ratios, right?

@ Deaner:
Because 16:9 was a common widescreen format before 16:10 came around. Most computer LCDs are 16:10 and all widescreen TVs are 16:9.
Doesn't make any sense to reduce the fraction when lots of people wouldn't be able to figure out how to compare 16:9 and 8:5
i didn't know people still used 4:3 screens anymore. I would never go back
Same exact setup here.
