I'd love a way to see what other people are investing in, and perhaps follow their investments.

On Vimeo he says that everything on the computer screen is animated without any replacements. So I'm guessing that yes, it's all just street view.

The first part looks like street-view, but the rest is clearly not - consider the overtaking cars in the tunnel...

Street view is built via a camera mounted on a truck driving on the street. I see no reason that the captured frames wouldn't include normal traffic flows.

That doesn't mean it's actually street view images.

You can clearly see that it's fluid video, not the smudgey, morphing transition used in street view.

Since its stop motion, you wouldn't see the morphing transition, they would wait for that to finish and then take the picture.

Not sure if that is what they actually did, but playing around with it a bit on my own it looks like you could get some decently fluid looking motion by taking screenshots of each "frame" that street view provides.

Have you actually used street view? I have never seen a street with less than 5-20 meters between each position.

According to a quick calculation that would give you a minimum apparent speed of 170 mph. (15 f/s * 5 m/f * 3600 s/h / 1600 mph/m/s)

Is there any chance you guys could set up a mailing list for people to be notified when there is more international support? Merchant services in Australia suck.

Just shoot an email to support@stripe.com

Surely it matters that the prosecution had a responsibility to pass on the information and chose not to?

That, and the fact that you've got to seriously worry when a report from a piece of software that can confuse the numbers 1 and 84 is being used as evidence in court.

OK, what about popurls[1], alltop[2] and the like?

Those don't republish content, they post headlines and links to the original sources.

I thought this too. And then realised that if Apple were heading down the "iPhone Nano" path, a design like this would suit that device really well (albeit a little smaller). Super thin, iPod nano-like, curved screen, vibrant colour options. I wonder if any toes have been stepped on here.

Sneakernets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet) like this have been a faster and more efficient way to transfer large amounts of data for a long time. It's even more effective over short distances, such as bike couriering to a nearby office or walking to your lounge room.
