Ask the Artist: How Windows 7’s Iconic Home Screen Evolved

Gizmodo got a chance to talk to Chuck Anderson, creator of Windows 7’s laid-back, cerulean-cool default wallpaper and login screen. The article goes through the evolution of his work—including Easter eggs, avoiding Mac tropes and why flaming skulls didn’t make the final design. Chuck Anderson and his company NoPattern have a very unique style and brilliant way of presenting media.

Fiber Optic network switching from glimmerglass.com

Glimmerglass is the world’s leader in developing and marketing Intelligent Optical Switching solutions for the Telecommunications Industry and Government. With over 50 customers in Europe, Asia and North America, Glimmerglass has shipped over 50,000 ports of optical cross-connects with a strong reputation for product quality and reliability.

Here are some of the reasons Glimmerglass is the world’s leader in optical switching solutions.

Glimmerglass ClickFlow software is a powerful, easy to use,
web-based GUI built into each Intelligent Optical Switch. ClickFlow offers a simple and easy way to monitor and control your switch.
Monitoring
• Convenient view of all connections
• Instant access to optical powers on all inputs and outputs
• Hardware and environmental alarms
Control
• Point and click provisioning
• Protection switching configuration
• Optical power threshold setup
• VOA and Multicast usage

Glimmerglass Console software provides management of one or more Intelligent Optical Switches from a single server by using Multi-Switch Management and Virtual Private Switching.
Multi-Switch Management
• Aggregated alarms management
• Unified user privileges management
Virtual Private Switch
• User privileges assigned on a port-by-port basis
• Prevents multi-use conflicts

The applications of GlimmerGlass fiber switches are:

Government and Intelligence Agencies
Glimmerglass optical switching systems provide flexible optical signal distribution capabilities using pure optics and no electrical conversions for the lawful interception (LI) of communications, distribution of RF signals, and other applications.

Telecom Core
Visionary telecommunications carriers and researchers recognize that a hybrid of routers and optical switches provides the most efficient and highest capacity Internet backbone infrastructure.

Telecom POPs
Glimmerglass Intelligent Optical Switches add major flexibility in the management of lightpaths while enabling significant reductions in both OPEX and CAPEX.

Undersea Cable
Glimmerglass solutions have been deployed to remotely monitor and reprovision all wavelengths at the juncture of the undersea cable and the land-based fiber plant.

Peering Exchange
Peering Exchanges are the most data intensive sites in the world. AMS-IX, Europe’s largest Internet Exchange, relies on Glimmerglass switches in the heart of its hybrid IP/switched network providing the ability to create new lightpaths on demand and to monitor and protect all high speed links.

Data Networks
Increasingly complex fiber plants and reduced OPEX budgets require innovative solutions. Using Glimmerglass Intelligent Optical Switches to manage lightpaths enables data networks.
