I just realized that Aza Raskin is Jef Raskin's son. One of Jef's main locus of attention was the zooming user interface (ZUI). This centers around the fact that an interface doesn't really have to have borders at all, just the ability to zoom. Zoom in to get detail; zoom out to view more of the world. Tab Candy is Jef's ZUI brought to the web browser. Cool!

Jef's ZUI is also implemented as a file browser for Macintosh. Really awesome! http://raskinformac.com

Man, did he have anything to do with Prezi? The zooming/boarderless idea just seems so fitting. It was a great day in UI when that started catching on.

This zooming paradigm appears to be what has been superfluously part-implemented in KDE4 on the desktop in the form of activities?
