The New Library of Alexandria was built jointly by UNESCO and the Egyptian government to revive the Library of Alexandria , once the largest library in the ancient world but which had fallen into decline. The building is 11 stories tall and boasts a total area of approximately 85,000 square meters. The main reading room has a 32-meter-high glass roof, which slopes down to the sea and is supported by huge columns.

GIGAZINE releases various manga, books, and articles as e-books not only on its website but also on Amazon's Kindle store. All e-books are eligible for Kindle Unlimited , so Kindle Unlimited users can read them for free. This time, we have created a ranking of books that digitize GIGAZINE articles to see 'What is the most read article published in October 2024?'

◆1st place: The new 'Camera Control' feature on the iPhone 16 lets you adjust camera settings without touching the screen, but it may take some time to get used to it.

◆2nd place: Interview with directors Haruko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita of 'Bakeneko Anzu-chan' about the rotoscoping technique used to create the film, where the actors' performances serve as a guide for the drawings

◆3rd place: A detailed review of the appearance of Google's genuine smartphones 'Pixel 9', 'Pixel 9 Pro', and 'Pixel 9 Pro XL', and what the actual product looks like after opening it

◆4th place: A large-scale language model 'Command R +' that supports Japanese and is more powerful than GPT-4 has been released, so I tried it out. It can be downloaded for free and can also be operated locally.

5th place: The claim that conspiracy theories are born out of a psychological bias known as 'spontaneous transference,' which leads people to believe that 'the person who points out a problem' is at fault.

◆6th place: Photo review of the 'iPhone 16 Pro', comparing the size and screen size with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16

◆7th place: We asked the director of a Winnie the Pooh horror movie, 'Are you making a Mickey Mouse movie?'

◆8th place: A quick photo review of the 'iPhone 16': How does the size and weight differ compared to the iPhone 15 and Pixel 9?

9th place: Psychologist teaches '7 steps' to distinguish real conspiracies from conspiracy theories

◆10th place: How much has the iPhone 16's A18 chip, which supports Apple Intelligence, evolved from the previous generation? We compared benchmarks

In October 2024, gadget-related articles such as reviews of the iPhone 16 series and Pixel 9 series attracted attention, as well as a wide range of other popular articles, including an interview with directors Haruko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita of the animated film 'Bakeneko Anzu-chan,' and an article explaining the psychological biases that give rise to conspiracy theories.
