IBM Research has some examples of a Weather Visualisation system they have designed.

We are preparing to install IBM’s Deep Computing Visualization software on a computer in the new Visualisation lab that’s hooked up to the DiamondTouch. This will allow us to both:
* “Explore the styles of interaction possible across different devices and a heterogeneous computing environment”
* Support simultaneous multi-user interactions across different displays
I am expecting to demo my simulation on the multiple displays in the Viz lab in the months ahead, so this will be a good introduction to the technology.
From the fact sheet (PDF):
High-end graphical images can be viewed in two visualization modes — SVN (Scalable Visual Networking) to increase screen resolution and multiplicity of physical displays; and RVN (Remote Visual Networking) to allow remote use of the application.
These two modes reflect two of the challenges in my PhD research: creating a visualisation of a large dataset across many displays, and to allow parts of the visualisation to migrate across devices.

- Create a Flex component
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) strive to bring the interactivity, responsiveness, and robustness of traditional desktop applications to Web-based applications. RIAs are especially important for developers who are hoping to leverage business intelligence (BI) and Web 2.0 approaches to content and delivery. Adobe® Flex® is an application at the forefront of RIA-based solutions. A relatively new but fast-growing technology, Flex leverages the capabilities of Adobe's Flash Player to provide first-rate graphical presentations that feature highly responsive UIs. Flex ships with many useful and robust components, but things get more difficult when you need to step outside the narrow bounds of what Flex provides for you and create domain-specific functionality. This introductory article provides an in-depth look at the architecture of the Flex-rendering engine, walking you through the process of incorporating Flex components into your RIAs and explaining what you need to know to create new
- The Chess Master and the Computer - The New York Review of Books
The AI crowd, too, was pleased with the result and the attention, but dismayed by the fact that Deep Blue was hardly what their predecessors had imagined decades earlier when they dreamed of creating a machine to defeat the world chess champion. Instead of a computer that thought and played chess like a human, with human creativity and intuition, they got one that played like a machine, systematically evaluating 200 million possible moves on the chess board per second and winning with brute number-crunching force.

- The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs : It’s official: Java now worth zero
So by now you’ve heard the “big news.” After years of trying to figure out ways to make money on Java, and all the while pretending that they actually are making loads of money on Java (while refusing to break out any numbers) Sun has thrown in the towel. They’re open-sourcing Java — ie, giving it away free and declaring victory.

When I worked at Microsoft almost two decades ago we made fun of IBM for having a different word for everything. Everybody said, "Hard Drive," IBM said "Fixed Disk." Everybody said, "PC," IBM said "Workstation." IBM must have had whole departments of people just to FACT CHECK the pages in their manuals which said, "This page intentionally left blank."
- Tangled Webs 7.6 - The Black Team
Things soon began to get a little crazy. Team members began to affect loud maniacal laughter whenever they discovered software defects. Some individuals even grew long mustaches which they would twirl with melodramatic flair as they savaged a programmer's code. And the things they did to software went beyond all bounds of rational use testing and were more akin to software torture. The crazier things got, the more effective the team became.

The Cell Processor was originally the brain child of ‘The Father of PlayStation’ Ken Kutaragi. It was later co-developed by Sony, IBM and Toshiba; making its way into the PlayStation 3, TV’s and super computers.
- The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: Why the Borg's copycat business model no longer works
How did all these billions of dollars slip through Ballmer's fingers? How did Microsoft find itself a leader in nothing and playing catch-up on every front -- in MP3 players, on the cloud, in search. How did Amazon roll out S3 and not Microsoft? How did Google control the search market? How did Apple take over online music retailing and MP3 hardware? How did Microsoft let that market for smartphones get away from them? How is it that everything about Microsoft's business is backward looking? This is the real problem they have now. They're fighting wars that are already over. They're investing huge energy into defending things they already control, like Windows. As they do this, as they put so much effort into lost causes like search (Bing v. Google) they keep missing out on new things. So their problems just keep getting bigger and bigger, like a snowball rolling down a hill.

Homomorphic encryption, like any encryption, mathematically scrambles data so thoroughly that the unscrambling can be done only by someone possessing a secret key. But even though the encryption seems to produce chaos, it might preserve certain mathematical relationships among the possible inputs. If the encrypted version of input x, multiplied by the encrypted version of input y, equals the encrypted version of x times y, then the process is said to be homomorphic with respect to multiplication.

Why....HOW....HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!! SOMEONE FUCKING TELL ME, RIGHT NOW, HOW THE FUCK DOES THE COPYRIGHT SYMBOL BECOME A KEYBOARD SHORT CUT? Is it font-dependent? I mean, the problems with this...I may have finally found the one thing that could fill up a ZFS file system...all the possible issues with all the UI fuckups in Lotus Notes. It's like looking into a cave and realizing you've found, at last, the source for all stupidity in the universe. The scary thing? That actually works. Fucking option-g is open selected item. Sonofabitch!
