How many screenshots do you need to see? There are about 50-60 posted in this thread showing that 720p has more detail. The (facts) are that the 1080p bitrate is only 20% larger with a million more pixels (math). These are native screenshots taken at the same frame. It even shows that in the top left corner of the picture. There's nothing else you need to know. Use your eyes.

Apples 1080p content sucks

Um you can post a million, but you will never prove your point. You have no scientific method. You can have an opinion but no without solid math/scientific facts, you can't support your opinion as a fact.
I'm not agreeing with you or disagreeing with you. I'm saying your argument is flawed and you should have never passed 6th grade science class.
You are arguing your opinion and I'm asking for facts, screen shots from different uncontrolled sources is your claim to proof?
You're just arguing for arguing sake at this point. These are from the same frames of the same shows downloaded from the official itunes store released at the same time. I watch about 10-15 episodes a month and compare 720p to 1080p both paused and casually watching on the couch. The 720p looks better 99% of the time, with the exception of animation which is sharper in 1080p. All you need are your eyes to see the difference. Math and science have no weight in this argument. All of the variables are the same, I've already stated that several times.
Your statement is petty, asking for facts on something that can not be proven, and you know that. Fact:Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. It cannot be dis-proven. Video quality is subjective and will never be proven. You're basically arguing over nothing, and de-railing the entire topic of this thread. The comparisons have been posted for all to see. The information is freely available.

Hmm I'm petty for asking for facts? Are your screenshots links jpeg or tiff? How were they captured? What software? Did the the website you linked to optimize the jpegs in any way?
Again, I'm not arguing against your opinion, I'm arguing against your "so called" proof, actually the lack of proof.
If you want to state something as fact, please have all the facts and technical details to back it up. If you want to state something as opinion, then don't post silly screen shots as facts?
Since you like to argue, maybe you should go to law school?
Maybe at law school you'll learn the difference between facts and opinion?
The funny thing in our debate here is that I may agree with you 100%, but you have no facts to support your opinion.
Peace
The screenshots are uncompressed .png. Requiem was used to remove the DRM so the screenshots could be taken natively. 720p is upscaled using Spline36. screenshotcomparison.com doesn't alter the file in any way.
Just throwing this out there-- but I definitely agree the Apple's 1080p content looks better than its 720p. No contest!
