Slideshow: What vendors consider sexy design

September 04, 2009, 3:09 PM — IBM's System z9 Enterprise Class server. Big, honkin' stuff with neon lighting. So what's "enterprise class?" The z9 weighs in at more than 4,400lbs. and comes with up to 512GB of memory, 60 LPARs (each with 64-bit central memory) and SHA-256 bit encryption for security. Yet for all its bulk, IBM designed it to look futuristically angular and slick.

    As all of you, I'm annoyed with the one-slide-at-a-time format... Therefore this is how I get everything in just one page: select the "PRINT THIS" button, a new window opens with the entire article and pictures. Nice, clean and easy.

    I find these presentations tedious and annoying. They are frequently ill suited to the material which would be better presented as an illustrated text document.More often than not I simply close the page without viewing the material.

    Why can't the slides be presented as thumbnails all on one page - with an option to click on anythign interesting or unfamiliar? C'mon, who wants to slog through one slide at a time?

    They have one page per paragraph in order to maximize ad dollars.
