Google Earth, you’re officially on notice: there’s new 3D mapping on the block, and it’s incredible. The 3D aerial mapping demo we saw in March is now a genuine product. As you may recall, developer C3 Technologies took hardware originally used in missile guidance systems and adapted it to photography to capture extremely accurate 3D images. The company has partnered with Nokia to deliver the first usable version of its mapping data with Ovi Maps 3D, which currently features 20 cities waiting to be panned and zoomed through in three dimensions.

“A Day Made of Glass” is a five minute video worth watching as it takes you to the future of user interface design and how it plays a major role in our day to day life in the near future.

Can’t wait to see the future and I can’t wait to see these in action.

I know there has been a lot of real-time YouTube Concerts other than Sugarlands but this one in particular caught my attention. It’s probably one of the best if not the ultimate video landing page. It’s better than everything I’ve seen so far. Don’t believe me? Take a closer look at the screenshot below and let’s analyze together why:

• The concert can be viewed all over the world. You only need a computer, a modern browser and a decent Internet connection. No restrictions apply!
• Video streaming quality is by far the best I’ve seen. This is considering there are millions of people simultaneously watching the same thing. You got to take it that scaling this thing is phenomenal
• It’s a well-done production because I still have to see a technical difficulty. So far, none.
• It’s great to have a choice which streaming camera to watch. That is so cool!
• Live interaction. You can choose which song you like to see the band perform during their performance. This one in particular beats TV by 100x
• You can get RSVP to Sugarland’s next tour using an ad banner
• Join the discussion with other viewers in real-time. No login on YouTube required! You can choose to use your Twitter or Facebook account. Yes I’m sure you got one.
• Subscribe to the band’s YouTube page
• View their profile and stats
• See their YouTube channel comments
• And one more awesome thing about this concert? You will hear for the first time Sugarland’s new singles which hasn’t been released yet. What a way to promote your new album!

See, I’m not a country music fan. But this one blows my mind. I think this is by far the ultimate video landing page ever. No contest.

Dell vs. Apple: 10 Years Later

I’ve used both Apple and Dell. As a consumer, I’d go with a Mac (simplicity sells). On the corporate side, I’d go with a Dell (Apple isn’t as seriously focused as PCs when it comes to business applications).
