PC or Mac - hardware and software

Re: PC or Mac - hardware and software Posted: 10 hours ago	go to thread
I use both pc and mac. Give the mac 6 weeks. Then, the less you use the pc/windows the happier you'll be. And generally the mac is faster at most things. (is that flame bait or what ) In the end, you can install windows on your mac. So get a mac, you won't regret it.

360cities - Featured in Google Earth!

Re: 360cities - Featured in Google Earth! Posted: 17 hours ago	go to thread
Thanks Carel! Looking forward to seeing more of your panos there. Carel said: Google Earth has gained much by including 360cities as a layer. Now if they could zoom out a bit.... Carel The new authors are coming in fast! But there is plenty more space for everyone else.... big cities included. Sure, there might be some panos from London or LA, but we are welcoming anyone, who wants to publish content from anywhere! (pending a quality review, of course) Regarding the Google Earth pano viewer - yes, the serious drawback with it is that you can't zoom out very far - the FOV is stuck at 60 (or maybe less, i don't know) degrees. If you're interested in having your say about this, and trying to get it changed, please go to this page - code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=25 and be sure to click the STAR at the top left of the page (next to 'issue 25') if you don't STAR it your comment won't really count, as I understand. Here are some of the more lovely additions from the past few days... on the edge of bromo volcano in indonesia www.360cities.net/image/bromo-20 san ignacio town market, belize www.360cities.net/image/san-ignacio-town-market-i...

ergec said: 360cities needs some graphical, visual corrections and some minor functional, interface improvements Yes, I know. We'll get there. We are too few people with too much work. But this is changing soon (the too few people part, I guess we'll always have too much work) If you want to join our forum Ergec, I'll be happy to hear your suggestions. thanks for the kind words!

Hi Ergec, The Google Earth layer gets updated about once a day currently. New images do need to be reviewed by a human (me or someone else over here) before they will appear on Google Earth (it's got an audience of some hundreds of millions of people, so we need to be careful that nothing offensive goes up). And not every image that goes on the site will go on the google earth layer, but most will.

DorinDXN said: I think is a great news and maybe the most important event from some time now in promoting the panorama world wide. yes, exactly this is the greatest thing about it. Finally, high quality VR photography is getting some very high-profile attention, and for this everyone involved with 360cities should be honored We've had a quite amazing response in the last few days - a huge amount of traffic, and a huge amount of people have joined. It's great to see it. Soon you'll be able to open google earth and see a pano from anywhere on the earth perhaps Jeffrey

360 Cities is now featured in Google Earth. Here is the announcement from Google - google-latlong.blogspot.com/2008/11/360-degree-pa... Here is the announcement from 360Cities: 360cities.net/new_360cities_content_integrated_wi... All you need to do is open Google Earth (no upgrade needed, as long as you have 4.2 or later) and click on 'Gallery' and then you will see 360cities there - just check the box to activate the layer. If you would like your panos to show up automatically for all 400 million or so users of Google Earth, then you should join 360 Cities! 360cities.net/account/join (note: becoming a full member does require uploading some panos, and then an approval process by humans, so please be patient!) enjoy
