Apple generally believes that the goal of the algorithm should be to preserve the design of the typeface as much as possible, even at the cost of a little bit of blurriness.Microsoft generally believes that the shape of each letter should be hammered into pixel boundaries to prevent blur and improve readability, even at the cost of not being true to the typeface.

The Ampersand Welcome to The Ampersand's Lost Panel. Every week during the show's sixth and final season, a panel of National Post editors, reporters and special guests will break-down the most recent episode: what happened, and more importantly, what it all means. Joining us this week are Mark Medley, arts reporter; Brad Frenette, features online editor; Matthew Coutts, sports reporter; and special guest Nikki Stafford, author of the Finding Lost series of companion guides.

The episode ended on a positive, as we finally learned the identities of Adam and Eve: Jacob's mother and brother, the Man in Black. Brad: No, you're not being too critical. As with so much of Lost, every answer just generated far more questions.
