Photosynth is here.

It was featured in this popular video a few months
back, perhaps you remember it.

"Unfortunately, we're not cool enough to run on your OS yet.
We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked
cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.

Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be

Don't feel too bad. I can only click around for a couple
minutes before my computer overheats and is knocked into
safety mode.

No linux version = not a suprise.

Typical of microsoft, way behind the times. This should be
done online so is platform independant. And this is why
google, et al will "win". Despite the name, cloud computing
is not vapour ware.

Or if it does need to do loads of maths, which would cost
too much for them to do remotely, why not a cross platform
java version? yeah java is a bit slower than a proper
compiled version, but surely people run render jobs as a
background process while they browse interwebs and whatnot
anyway???

hmm i've used the demo a couple of months ago on a PC and it
worked fine (xcept for the crappy navigation)

can one upload your own sets yet? if so, i could be arsed to
allow internet access to the Vista partition...

would be pretty cool to use with multitouch trackpad...

The navigation might still be a bit crappy and nothing is as
seamless as I expected. As for my computer, flash ads give
it a hard time so overheating here was no surprise. I shoot
straw air into the vents and everything!

You can upload your own sets after creating a Microsoft LIVE
account. I am not sure what this means.

Its funny;

When mac doesn't make something work properly on a pc or
linux (which they usually don't because they are fascists),
everyone just seems to think its justified. "They want to
make sure its working properly on the right system and they
can't guarantee that with a PC."

When they don't make something linux work properly on a pc
or a mac, everyone just seems to think its justified. "Its
open source. Eventually someone will port it. Yada yada." (I
agree with this reason, so no qq from me here)

When MS don't make something MS work properly on a mac or
linux box, everyone screams bloody murder and blames MS for
being behind the times.

Right about now, I am neither here nor there about what
operating system or computer people use. They are all pretty
good for the same things. I just can't stand the hypocrisy
in all of it. Its like society bought full stock in the cola
cold war and now they everyone needs to polarize their
favorite stuff instead of enjoying what it can do for them.

given the nature of this software though -a plug-in for a
browser- it really wouldn't have required much extra effort
to support either OSs

that being said i kinda agree with you

Surely you know that's an ad hominem argument. Everyone's a
hypocrite, that's a given.

How many people do you think would need to be employed for
how long to support both OSs?

Personally I think all the companies are jerks. I just want
people to give microsoft a bit more credit when they are
trying to do something cool, and apple a little less credit
when they are obviously being dicks.

No. Thats the thing, people don't actually need to be
hypocrites. We have been conditioned to take that for
granted, that everyone is going to be hypocritical. It
doesn't need to be the way things are.

Everyone I've ever met is a hypocrite. I'm a complete
hypocrite. It'd be lovely if it wasn't like that but surely
you have double standards and do things that you would
verbally condemn.

Actually it wouldn't be lovely, we are humans with faults.

Thats just it. People don't need to be that way, we just
expect it. It doesn't make it any more right or wrong
really. Its just a way I am trying not to be in my life
right now. I don't think I currently have any active double
standards, however those things are hard to notice when you
are used to living a certain way. I spent so long ego
killing when I was a teenager; I don't act or think the same
way as other people anymore. Sometimes its hard because I
forget that people don't think the way I do. I expect them
to come to similar conclusions even though they haven't had
the same experiences. Sometimes I try to be more like the
people around me. Right now I feel like living as honestly
as I can.

The fruit bats are fucked, they eat the nice things from the
garden before I get the chance.

I was in Verona the other week and my Italian is terrible!
I understand most of the words but I ended up saying ice-a
cream-a instead of gelato or gelati.

too many teens full of money and cocaine for my tastes.

Seadragon is in one of the next versions of their
Silverlight plugin. But it's not that cool as it once
looked. I went to a MS demo a couple of months back and it
kind of sucked.

It's all a bit hoaxy/hyped I'm afraid.

select me.
