Prague High Resolution Digital Photo
Paris 26 Gigapixels is a stitching of 2346 single photos showing a very high-resolution panoramic view of the French capital (354159x75570 px). I was amazed and somewhat shocked about the level of detail when sneaking around and zooming in on people's privacy.
Let alone not being able to easily and properly delete the account (thank you Plaxo for being fair and honest!). Now, today I wanted to start deleting content off of my Facebook account because deleting the entire account is impossible (searched for ages, found the function, only: the acount still stays on!).
When entering my email address and password I receive a screen that asks me to register my computer with FB without any option to opt out of that procedure. Also, FB fails to properly explain why they wanted to possibly sneak into my device.
From here on out I will delete my iPhone Facebook App and I will not visit their site anymore EVER. This is just enough after all those tries to take control over my content.
FB was a fun idea once. The freaks at their helm have proven over time now and with many examples that one should not allow ignorants to handle any of your content.
Update: 100m Facebook records exposed!

Silently he asked me whether I believe that beauty like the Baby Aston would disappear any time soon. Trying to comfort him I responded: "as long as there are boys in this world, devestated by such potential loss, it will be exactly fellows like you who won't allow it!". He wants to become a test driver now.
Being a Junior in a bi-lingual class of a Gymnasium in Germany's South (Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Maybach, Audio reside all there); with an English spoken technology track from next year, is a first good step I reckon, for him to transform his tears of sadness into streams of sweat to become one of the rescuers of such stunning technology, have a look:
A stunning experience is this photo taken in Prague. You can use the Google Earth like controls to wonder around in 360 degrees and zoom in to people's kitchen, literally (wondering when privacy issues mount over there).
Find thousands of 360 degrees photos at the site here.
UPDATE July 2010: Technology advances!Now you can enjoy an even higher resolution 26 Giga Pixel online photography of Paris and some other cities. Send me your links if you find other exciting high res stuff online.
