Scoble treats us to some of his enthusiasm about Microsoft’s WorldWide Telescope.
You drag around the sky. There’s Mars. There’s the big dipper. There’s Betelguese.But it has one difference between any telescope you’ve ever looked at.
You can zoom. Zoom. Zoom. Zoom.
We picked a point of light inside the big dipper. Zoom. Zoom. Zoom. Zoom. Holy shit, it’s two galaxies colliding. It looked like a star. Zoom. Zoom. Zoom. let’s switch to a different telescope and see what these two galaxies colliding are spitting out.â€
He clicked a button and we saw a completely different view of the same colliding galaxies. This time we weren’t looking at visible light, but at something else.
Sounds fantastic.
It runs only on Windows. It’s coded in C#/.NET
Ah, same old shit.
It would be nice if Scoble gave them some hell about only releasing this stuff for Windows. He’s so into his conversations but what…non-Windows people are not classy enough. I thought this was on the fricken web?
And it’s not at all me too, me too. When will Microsoft learn?
Oh what did you expect? Scoble just realized there’s more to the universe than his lamer blogs and social networking.
Expecting him to tell you about anything actually new is like expecting a cat to do calculus.
Well, I have faith. (though I’ve been grumpy today and anyone who mentions ‘Web 2.0’ to me today is getting a smack in the chops)
