The High Order Bit

Wow. TED always has amazing speakers – but this video of Blaise Aguera y Arcas blew me away. Showcasing Seadragon, a Microsoft acquired technology, the video speaks for itself. Usually audiences clap when they see something cool. Notice the eerie silence as Blaise dives into the smallest detail of the map at perfect resolution the whole way down. Seems like Microsoft may go after Google piece by piece.
