Comment on How T-rex hunted prey by Bill Z

I would tend to agree that T-Rex could have been a hunter as well as a scavenger. Many of today’s apex predators, e.g. lions, hyenas, are both.

Comment on Free online preview of How It Works issue 5 by cjayp33

Just want to say a few things

firstly thank you very much for featuring me twice(in a row)in the what people are saying about the magazine, it was surprising to see me appear not once, but twice.

i love the human body/organ articles and animal ones the most, so please can we have some more of those.

also i like the GCSE/A level topics you cover more then the stuff which you don’t learn at school, e.g inside blackberries for example, so more of them type articles and guides/diagrams would be good.

one last thing, i love the history section more then the transport/technology pages(least favourite), however it seems the most of the articles bar one or two per issue are really short, i wish they were longer although that’s probably because you don’t have more information. I also like the general history stuff (Tudors, Stuarts) eg. the Roman soldiers,Colosseum , medial castles, and would love it, if you could feature more on that and less on the other things e.g the leviathan bridge. i am also disheartened to see, it has less pages then the other sections and is where the most adverts adverts are why is this?

loving issue 5 so far, its looking like the best yet, with a great range of features i am interested in(even the f1 was cool, even though i am not a fan) so keep up the great work.

I’m old & grey but a science nut who has been buying (often with regret) scientific discovery publications over many years for my own interest as well as a teaching life tool for our five children. None of them come anywhere near the quality of your magazine in content, graphics or variety of subject matter. I must add, however, my family IS complaining as I make them wash hands before touching it, don’t bend the pages and return it promptly. Your magazine, HOW IT WORKS, is that good. Really, well done.

I think that this video is very interesting and that the work these people do is amazing.

Comment on An early prototype of the V-22 Osprey – 40 years earlier! by Lyndon

Oh what could have been. Why on earth did this project ultimately get nowhere. If you look at aircraft being developed in the ’50s and early ’60s they are amazing. They were extremely innovative back then. Now however all aircraft, especially civillian, look the same. Where did it all go wrong ? I suppose in Britian we can blame Duncan Sandys, BOAC and witless governments. Mind you we were skint after WWII.

Fantastic idea!
I love this mag and it’s great to see that it’s making the future itself by embracing the digital format.
Brilliant.

Comment on The iPad’s secrets revealed by Andre

That’s the point. You won’t save money in the long run, because you will be buying another device real soon. The iPad lacks too much functionality to be considered a computer. If they treat this like the iPhone (new device released almost yearly), then you’ll end up spending a lot more.

Around $500 and completely not worth it for the reasons stated above unless they fix those glaring oversights before launch.
