The CRT I threw out years ago was 1280x1024. It wasn't big then, and a smaller screen isn't big now.
Even if you're on something like an iPad you still have 1024 vertical and end up with plenty of content. Only netbooks and/or low-quality screens have this issue.
Author has a big screen. His screenshot shows five results above the fold. I can barely see two on my 1280x800.
The argument works both ways.
