    You are so right. It is warp speed for them!

    They did a multimedia piece on William Safire about 2 years ago or more, and I can’t find it now. But it was way ahead of its time for them.

    Wow – I really hope this spreads fast, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, has recently, (last two years maybe), been trying some cool new things, similar to this on a smaller scale and they’ve also been producing some small-scale soft-news videos.

    I love and respect the amazing work of the photogs that work for the PG and would love to see some of their work displayed this way.

    I think this is thanks in large part to Flash’s new bitmap smoothing feature that makes it possible to dynamically render/re-render an image in different resolutions in pretty high quality.

    What this does is allow you to display a single image in different resolutions without having to pre-process different versions of the image in various resolutions (depending on the user’s monitor). This didn’t exist before Flash 8/ActionScript 3. It’s a really cool feature.

    In fact, I’m working on a redesign of a website for an architectural photographer where continuous resizing on-the-fly is a feature.

    Back in the day, if you wanted to dynamically serve various resolutions, you had to use a super fast, expensive back-end technology that would resize an original hi-res image to the desired size in a matter of milliseconds. Now you can just load one image and just let Flash Player figure out the rest.
