Record uploaded pictures to Flickr in 24 hours
Flickr set an all-time upload record yesterday: 2,070,075 photos in 24 hours!
Seems like they are doing another upgrade and their “Flickr is having a massage” message is being displayed.

Months before Ski Dubai opened this was the promotional booth at a local mall.
Check out a picture of the construction of Ski Dubai : Construction
50-Monitor Display
Here are some images of the new 50-monitor display
prototype that was developed at the Gigapixel Lab at Virginia Tech.
Since I graduated, I won’t be able to play with it, but I wanted to
keep everyone updated with the work going on there. The display is
comprised of 21″ touch-screen monitors (thats why they are shiney)
and–like the previous display–is driven by a cluster. This time (to
save space) we are using 25 shuttle PCs as can be seen in the images
below. The whole setup has a resolution of at least 12800×5120
(65,536,000 pixels). Since I’m not around anymore, I’m not sure if
we’ll get any gaming up and running on this monster, but I’ll see what
I can do. As usual, you can reach me at plastk@vt.edu if you have any
questions or comments. Enjoy the images!
