The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    This is one of the coolest things I've seen since the multi-touch display. Here is the description from TED.com:

    Thx for posting that.

    Yeah, I remember seeing a similar demo of the technology when M$ did the acquisition quite a while back, and I pretty much forgot about it.

    The interweb is a pretty amazing thing allowing applications we couldn't imagine a scant few years ago. It gives me chills thinking of what we'll see in the future as Moore's law keeps shrinking and concentrating computing power, bandwidth continues to increase, and the number of denizens of the web multiply throughout the world!

    You do know you can create your own PhotoSynths here don't you.

    You can also create very cool PhotoZooms using the Deep Zoom technology from PhotoSynth here.
