BlackHat linked us to IBMs
Deep View, a
research system for rendering and other advanced applications (Q3A). The
PC is 8 Linux boxes in a rack, which is needed to generate the content for the
T221 display which operates at 3840x2400.
Quake III: Using the Chromium software, we can play Quake III Arena at a resolution of 3840x2400 pixels.

The death of the zoom tool

IBM brought one of these screens by Alias|Wavefront to show. The image detail is unbelievable.
In fact, you don't need a zoom tool on your paint program anymore,.. you just need a real magnifying glass sitting next to the monitor (IBM brought one), because it's showing much more detail than you can really see!
One thing it shows, though, is the need for vector-bases scalable interfaces... the default Windows UI was so tiny on that screen it was really hard to use!
Ummm and Sony have announced that IBM and Toshiba will be joining up to develop the architecture and processors for the Playstation 3.
The odds on these two pieces of work not being related have to be pretty slim. Its a pretty clear gameplan, XBOX2 is a "Windows Home Gateway", PS3 is a "Multimedia Home Gateway" that happens to be running linux.
