swirling around the center of the M87 galaxy are various fast-moving gases whose speeds can be measured by comparing the shifts in the wavelength of light emitted from the approaching and receding sides of the rotating disk...
...these technologies exist, but they have never been put together. In order to assemble the Orlando trial, Time Warner had to sign up more than half a dozen outside vendors, some of them bitter rivals. For example, Silicon Graphics, which is building and programming the huge disk-drive systems known as video servers, and AT&T, which is making the network's switches, are competing elsewhere in the race to create the best video servers. The danger is that if the two companies decide in the future they cannot share key proprietary technology on the Orlando project, Time Warner...
Storage space on the disk drives could also pose a real problem. Time Warner engineers have had to buy more and more computer-disk storage to handle all the new programs and services that the company wants to offer. At first the engineers thought they could store hundreds of movies on a so-called terabyte file server (which can hold the equivalent of 1 million floppy disks) and still have room to spare. Now they realize they will need a server twice that big. Although the prices of these components will eventually come down, right now the start-up cost...
Other highlights of System 7.5 include "QuickDraw GX," an improved imaging architecture; a new version of Finder that allows for automation of common tasks such as disk backup; and "Apple Guide," a new help system that walks the user step by-step through unfamiliar applications...
...Yeah, right. You would have had to have done a scene where Simon went to the Science Center and printed out the floppy disk and turned it into pages again. I don't know. God, if that's the biggest question people have I'll be happy. It's a good point, but I think it's one that we were aware of, and we just did the best we could...
