Default video: Photosynth + Seadragon = "All your photos are belong to us"

Copyright issues aside. Personally I was impressed enough that if they used
any of my images the wow factor they created with that was enough I would
let it slide. Frankly, I haven't been that impressed in quite sometime. What
most companies call ground breaking lately has been more of a yawn that wow.
Kind of like the Shock and Awe of the Iraq war. Well, I guess it was shock
and awe. Socked it was so poorly planed and awed that it still isn't any
better planned.

Anyways it will be interesting to see what if anything this technology comes
to for the consumer. If it going to be limited to only services like
Flicker, Google, etc. then I am much less impressed. However, if Microsoft
puts out software for the rest of us that lets us use this on our computers
and our own web sites then I will be even more wowed.
