I guess it does, sort of. The music controlled people in the fat boy slim video move in a very similar fasion as the RC controlled girl in TFA's video.
I was writing Flash based interfaces which interacted with the server "AJAX-style" (ie. without page reloads, just sending xml to the perl backend) around 2000, long before anyone ever heard of "AJAX" except for the Greek hero and the Dutch soccer team.
In other words, "AJAX" is just a new name for a paradigm which has been used by Flash developers for many years, using actionscript instead of javascript.
To avoid flames: I'm not a Flash developer anymore. I'm a Java programmer now:P
Black and White creator Will Wright has been working on a game named Spore. I think it's going to be pretty interesting and definitly very original. You'll find a video of him demo'ing it at the 2005 GDC here.
Although CBRs are hard as crap to remove. I took mine out once when we had a CS Undergraduate Student Board corporate panel, and managed to lose a ball getting them back in.
OMG! I don't know what a CBR is, but I doubt it's worth losing one of my balls for.
I had to go to the piercer to get new balls and have her put them back in.
Thank God for modern medical science! I'm pleased to hear your balls are ok now.
I play UT 2004, Wolvenstein:ET, America's Army, and FlightGear on linux. Those may not be up to par with PS3 games (or the latest windows games for that matter), but I wouldn't call them "silly little arcade games".
Actually, there is a GUI frontend for apt. It's called synaptic and it comes with the Debian based distribution Ubuntu.
I agree that apt-style package systems are the best way to manage applications. This Mezzo thingy (the SymphonyOS desktop) combined with synaptic for package management would, IMHO, make a great environment for average users.
I read somewhere that Aqua largely depends on the AltiVec execution unit for the heavy graphical stuff. It's a totally uneducated guess, but I think the Intel based macs - if based on Intels current offering - will have some kind of coprocessor to support 128 bit vectors. This might make it very difficult to run OS-X on non-Apple hardware.
I mostly use cross-platform apps. VLC is a good media player (Get it while you can!). And if you want a familiar text editor you can try gVIm for windows.

Supported? As in paid tech support? Ofcource it is.

If you think ddr2 the game is more geeky than ddr2 the memory, we must have a really different definition of geekness.
If you don't like the OS, they have a line of linux servers too. Pretty nice hardware.
Ray-guns? Aliens? Did anyone else think of "the terrible heat-ray"? Ulahhhhhhh!
OMG! Please don't tell me how you know that...
Thank you for bringing some sense into this thread. It's a shame my modpoints expired last rollover.

So you're saying the pear code should be peer reviewed? ;)
Yes, he must have been that other one.
Oops, I guess I got confused here. Will Wright did not work on B&W. Spore is still going to be great though.

Just thinking about entering my 20 character password on a random layed-out onscreen keyboard gives me RSI.

The SymphonyOS site is back up, so I've been able to check it out. SymphonyOS uses synaptic. I'm definitly going to try it.

Must be a pretty nice server; The biggest movie is 172 Mb, but it's still doing fine. Maybe this proves no one reads TFA.
How about Lionhead. They are, IMHO, the most innovative game company around.
In the future, pigs WILL be box-shaped.
I think the script that reposts these comments has been enhanced to mod them up too.
It's a good thing though, they would open up a gate to hell if they went that deep.
The SLI nVidia cards are for PCI-express x16, not AGP. Motherboards with two PCI-e x16 slots are available. Google for "2x pci-e" (with the quotes).
