Net Neutrality

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

This is a topic we should all be familiar with as it effects everyone who accesses the Internet. Basically the biggest providers of the Internet backbone want to create a 1st class and 2nd class. The powers that be wish to charge based on the kind of communications and destinations (e.g. reading a blog page vs. making a VOIP call, and google vs. msn).

“Network neutrality designates a contemporary controversy mostly local to the United States regarding the role that government should take relative to Internet access providers providing multiple levels of service for different fees. This controversy, which emerged following regulatory developments in the United States, is extremely complex, as it mixes technical, economic, ideological and legal arguments. In essence, network neutrality regulations proposed by Senators Snowe and Dorgan and Representative Markey bar ISPs from offering Quality of Service enhancements for a fee.”

Multiple Monitor Document Review

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Seamless Display’s Horizon320™ was launched in December 2003. Using three 20-inch LCD screens in portrait mode with Seamless Display’s special LCD-tiling technology we were able to virtually eliminate a pixel-to-pixel gap of almost 1-inch between each screen. The Horizon320™ offers a 40-inch viewing area with nearly 6 million pixels, making it the world’s high resolution LCD display system. This resolution is many times that of a conventional Plasma screen or the latest large area LCD screen. This unit is no longer in production.

Although this unit is not in production, I liked the looks and thought you might, too. Below is a bad picture. For a good picture, visit Seamlessdisplay
