World Cup reporter types sideways thanks to tablet malfunction
Time for some good old-fashioned ingenuity ... kind of.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Technology is amazing, but darn it if computers can’t be tricky these days. It used to be simple: Plug in, turn on, look at screen -- now all these new-fangled tablets are changing up the game.
One poor reporter was struggling with his iPad in the press box. It seemed like a great plan for mobility in Brazil, but all went awry when the screen wouldn’t rotate properly. In this situation you have three options:
- Deal with the tablet in portrait mode.
- Find an alternate computer.
- Spend the entire game with your head crooked like an inquisitive puppy and work against gravity.
Poor guy is going to have a bad crick in his neck for sure.
