Paranoia

Post by Fantasrick » Jul Fri 22, 2005 2:50 pm

It is amazing how much satellite imagery can actually see, but honestly, is there that much to be worried about? With the number of people in the world, should one really worry that they are being watched? If you are up to no good, then I hope that they are watching you closely, but the rest of us have nothing to worry about.

No real paranoia here and I am so boring in life they would pass over me anyway :wink:

WOW! I always thought that Cinderella's Castle was the center point of the MK.. But actually........ the Walt Disney Statue with Mickey is in the center of it all! How appropriate!

I still love http://local.live.com

It has so many awesome views of both American parks. I can't wait until the other parks are up on the site, but at the rate they are going it will take atleast two more years to do it.

local.live.com has some great ones.

One huge tip.. for the air shots, try changing directions and you can get to some places it doesn't show availability (like the Magic Kingdom, Blizard Beach and such).. BUT.. DONT change back to north view as it will boot you and you will have to start back from someplace where there is a north air shot.

Kinda lame they only allow you into air mode if they have the north view picture, but oh well.

Have you guys seen Windows live local? Their "Birds eye view" feature is very high quality. Even more impressive than Google Earth in my opinion. Check out this amazing picture from space on Windows Live Local:

The "Birds Eye" is what we have been talking about. They are photos taken from the Air as opposed to satellite which don't have as much detail.

I was having a great time looking around WDW until I found pictures of River Country which almost made me cry how disgusting it looks now completely overgrown and infiltrated with that nasty stuff thats in all the water.

Oh well it was too small so it needed to be improved upon but just leaving it to rot seems lame.
