UPDATE: APRIL FOOL !!! Please see 2nd comment for more info.
From a reliable source within Linden Lab, one of our reporters has learned that a new CTO has been hired. When this person will start is at this moment unknown and it should be announced on the official LL blog sometime today.
The name of Dr. Ted Polofaril has been mentioned and apparently he has great plans for Second Life. It has been said that one of the first things he will do is increase the maximum number of prims on regular regions considerably. This should happen sometime in May. According to him, this should be a logical step, following the introduction of Havok4 and updated hardware.
When we tried to contact the PR department of LL to get this confirmed, we did not get any answer. So for now this is only rumour. It is also said that Dr. Polofaril has been hired by Phil Rosedale himself. At top level his ideas are supported, but at lower level this decision is much debated, because of possible increased lag and increased number of system failures.
We will keep you updated as this story develops and we get an official reply from LL. Or of course when this is be publically announced. Please note that this Linden employee has requested not to disclose his name.
