Fresh of the airplane, I noticed this 8-foot-tall heap of photos off to the far end of the baggage claim. Poor location aside, I love brute force displays like this. The message? Lose your laptop, (or any computer), with 8 yrs of digital photos on it, and you lose that part of your life. Maxtor, apparently, can help save it (presumably with some kind of slick backup system.)
Nice heap.

Here’s a shot of the CD heap mentioned by the nice person who commented:
I saw one of these Maxtor displays today at the Moscone Center; it was very cool. They also had a really cool CD cityscape made of Cds that also clearly indicated what to do with all your music. Fun & well done.
This is a different photo heap than what I saw at the show; the heap I saw was literally a well-designed skyline of a city, and it looked like skyscrapers and lower skyscapers. Very, very clever and cool. Although I like the pile above it does not really have a cool look. Like the photo heap, is this pile at an airport too? If so, which one?
Good point – this heap was in the entrance to one of the south halls. I’ll have to scout out the skyline if I ever make it back there. Thanks!
