I think there is a lot of potential here beyond "firefox on your phone" - especially if we can get something similar to greasemonkey and prism.

@criticman: no, RTFA, or at least the first sentence:

Don't catch yourself micro-organizing if decluttering is the goal.

A friend of mine did the same thing. She sent me a picture over IM and the thumbnail was much more... revealing.

@behrens: An old laptop will not play hd video smoothly. It is unlikely to support the resolution in the first place. Also, many TVs I have encountered have trouble supporting widescreen resolutions via VGA.

I'll recap what I posted on Giz.

@Gurpal Singh Walia: ?

Flash has a place beyond video. There are still a lot of things we can't do with javascript/html, but I'll agree that 99.99% of the time flash is unnecessary.

@moe52: Thanks for the tip. This looks much better than the other solutions I've found online.

@katscanne: Thanks. I checked out the article and it seems the best solution out there is the "lens blur" effect in photoshop. It can create a bokeh using depth maps, but it still has the light intensity issue I explained above.

@Leszek: Yes, but I would like to reproduce this digitally.

@bootneck: that's a start, but I was thinking of a way to automatically apply this to a photo, provided you had a depth map.

This is incredible. Does anyone know how to accomplish this in photoshop?

@kalleguld: Sure I'm paying 18% apr but with rewards like these can I really afford *not* to be in debt?

We might also infer from this icon that they are using external drives rather than internal storage.

@ericesque: Seems like it is becoming more of a tech blog and less of a GTD blog.

@aeronaut: I can't seem to find any, so I'll try to explain. If you have a laser on either side of the camera the lasers should converge at the nodal point. If you can rotate the camera towards each and the light completely scatters upon hitting the center, filling the image frame, on each laser, you've got it.

@jeffk: You actually get a wider angle vertically this way. You can rotate the camera to take as many shots as you need on the horizontal plane, so it is better to get the most height you can.

@paxis: a 360 degree panorama lets you do cool things like those quicktime scenes where you can look around in any direction. Just as the globe looks strange when flatted onto a map, a panorama looks strange when flatted. The advantage is that it can be mapped to a sphere and provide a very immersive experience.

I made my own pano head a few years ago, so here's my 2 cents.
