I don't know if you guys saw this on AppleInsider from WWDC, it's pretty cool.
In a rare treat for developers at this year's WWDC, Apple is showcasing 20,000 of the most popular iPhone apps on a massive hyperwall built out of Cinema Displays -- one that pulses in sync with each and every App Store download.

The array, mounted on a wall inside San Francisco's Moscone Center West, is made up of twenty edge-to-edge 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays, each of which are powered by a Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Yeah, I saw a video of it yesterday. Very cool.

I read that it's not actually in real time though, so.... what, half a notch less cool?
Okay, I just saw that it's only a 5 minute delay. That's acceptable ;)
