Pretty cool, but this was e-mailed to me so I'm not totally sure that it's legit.
ZOOM IN AND OUT.....there you are!!!!!
Keep clicking on any spot on the picture....amazing!!!
This is just incredible! Amazing camera So you thought you might hide in the crowd............. This picture was taken with a camera 70,000 x 30,000 pixels (2100 MegaPixels). It can identify a face in a multitude. The cameras are not sold to the public and are being installed in strategiclocations. (This one is in Canada) Place the cursor in the multitude of people and left double click a coupletimes. It will continue to show the people much closer, when you double leftclick again or click more if needed. Amazing!! There were thousands of persons and yet one can spot and recognize any face. Imagine what this means... both police and Army have it. http://www.gigapixel.com/image/gigapan-canucks-g7.html

Great quote! By way of thanks:
Pat, as ever, is beautiful.
I loved the story of Mira Furlan not understanding why a fan wanted her to say out loud "Moose and squirrel", as she says "Moose and squirrel" with her noticeable accent.

(53,998 posts)Right where the sun is shining on the sidewalk. The picture cut a guy's torso off his walking legs.
Further to the left you can see a headless dude and a guy in a light gray hoodie with no legs holding himself up by the fence.
