THE PLIGHT OF THE BURMESE PEOPLE
As if the Burmese people hadn't enough to contend with by being brutally ruled by a Junta of military criminals, they now have to contend with one of the worst natural disasters ever to occur in the region. With a bit of luck this will spell the end of the general's rule as it appears that they don't have the resources to deal with the disaster. Hopefully, the world's aid agencies will get in there as quickly as possibe and do what they can to alleviate the suffering on the ground.

A really useful technology would be if you could see the internet addresses of the people and company's located in the buildings on the screen. Imagine MySpace with the pages located on the 3d city map!

I thought it was good. I really liked the BMW commercial at the end.

And the tubes, who gets the tubes? If the rest of the world also gives up net neutrality like the States did... The network seems to handle neutrality, but can we? It's worked so far. I don't know. Whatever.

It looks cool, but I am not sure if it will end up becoming useful. Do they plan on streaming all this through the web?
