It seems that several people are missing the point that this is NOT an image
database.  It is high-resolution topological data rendered in three
dimensions.  Images are overlayed on the topological data to help people
navigate familiar terrain visually.  In other words, it is not intended as a
wannabe spy satellite.  Rather it is a very accurate three dimensional model
of the earth's surface.  When a particular region in question is covered in
a city, the buildings in the city are mapped as though they are part of the
earth's surface.  The part that makes the app killer is that you can map all
sorts of data layers on top of their core topological data.

Got it?

    J> Got it?

Ah, ok ... so some sample applications come to mind, although none of
them require wireless and would do with a DVD, but nonetheless ...

- Forestry: Maps of the terrain are essential in predicting the spread
of forest fires, esp if this is overlaid with the type of vegetation,
recent waterfall &c

- farming/conservation can use the high-resolution terrain to overlay
water tables or watershed info.

Barbie has been made over as a Bond girl:  

    [IMG: http://www.craphound.com/images/bondbarbie.jpg] As James Bond, Ken 
    has matured nicely with rooted hair, with slight silvering at his temples, 
    wearing a midnight blue tuxedo, and authentic recreation of the classic tux 
    by Brioni, the famed clothier. Linda Hemming, the award winning costume 
    designer in charge of this year's James Bond film, outfits Barbie doll. She 
    wears a blood red gown with a glittering gold lace overlay and a gauzy red 
    shawl with a gold filigree design. Her gown is cut up the side to reveal 
    lots of leg as well as not so discreet hip strap that anchors Barbie's cell 
    phone. The set is slated for release in November, to coincide with the 
    premiere of "Die Another Day," the new James Bond film. Bond, James Bond, 
    meet Barbie, just Barbie...

Pastry is a generic, scalable and efficient substrate for peer-to-peer
applications. Pastry nodes form a decentralized, self-organizing and
fault-tolerant overlay network within the Internet. Pastry provides
efficient request routing, deterministic object location, and load balancing
in an application-independent manner. Furthermore, Pastry provides
mechanisms that support and facilitate application-specific object
replication, caching, and fault recovery.

You can download a Pastry simulator off of this web site.

Is it made with lard, butter, or vegetable shortenings?
