This interesting haiti.360 video, provided by cnn, is made from the car that rides through the streets of Port-au-Prince,as you can see, the camera twirls at 360 degrees.
I guess very soon everyone can go this way wandering virtually the streets, coming into the house and talking to people online – just must be found resources to store such giant amount of information. It’s something like Google Earth but here you can increase any point up to the size you need though it were country, city, street, land on the pedestrian’s eye level and go for a walk. You can also acces your own camera there.
Use your mouse to click and drag around the video to change the view. You can also zoom in and out. Pause and explore at any time by pressing the play/pause button under the video to stop and look around. The video below was shot on Monday, January 18, at 9:52 a.m. EST in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

The five Owners of Apple, Dell and Hewlett-Packard laptops including a Louisiana man who bought an Apple MacBook Pro a year ago, have made their lawsuits against Nvidia, filed an amended complaint last week in a San Francisco federal court, accusing Nvidia of violating consumer-protection laws, computerworld.com reports.
Nvidia admitted to the problem in July 2008, when it said some older chipsets that had shipped in “significant quantities” of notebooks were flawed. In a subsequent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company argued that its chip suppliers, the laptop makers and even consumers were to blame.
Nvidia later told the SEC that it would take a $196 million charge to pay for replacing the graphics processors.
Apple, Dell and HP have all told users that some of their laptops contain faulty Nvidia chipsets. Apple, in fact, essentially said that Nvidia had misled it. “Nvidia assured Apple that Mac computers with these graphics processors were not affected,” Apple said in a support document posted last October. “However, after an Apple-led investigation, Apple has determined that some MacBook Pro computers … may be affected.”
