Buried, reported, and blocked. You people must breed like rabbits lately.

I'd like to chime in and call you a retard. He was obviously joking. Also, where did he say that it was the actual painting being distributed on the internet? Looks to me he was suggesting the 16 gigapixel camera came from Jesus. Also, it is possible to make an image that big with a lower pixel rating camera, take lots of pictures at different parts of the painting and stitch them together.

A 16 gigapixel image? Nah...

The computer core from the starship Enterprise should be enough.

Finally, a native-resolution wallpaper for those enormous Apple Studio displays.

It would at least be nice if they'd let you expand the viewer out to full screen. Other sites for viewing gigapixel images such as <a class="user" href="http://gigapan.org">http://gigapan.org</a> allow this.I’m using a 1920 x 1200 display viewing a 16GP image but stuck in a tiny window around 720 x 400… It’s like a giant leap forward & backward at the same time...Microsoft's HD View also uses the full browser window, and is also much faster...
