In a separate screencast they show Quicksilver's power by taking a screenshot, resizing it, uploading it to Flickr, and emailing it to themselves all in the space of 40 seconds.
While some of us are stoked to have a 24" monitor, and maybe a secondary 17" or 19", these students at UC Irvine have a wall of fifty 30" cinema displays from Apple. The wall's total resolution is 200 megapixels, or 128000 by 80000. Try that for a game of Quake.
