I saw this on reddit today and I thought I would share it. Microsoft’s new Photosynth website is all about pictures. The idea is to make a 3D “world” through the photos you take (roughly and simply). I’m not going to lie, its a pretty sweet idea, I think Microsoft pitched it awhile back but it didn’t take off as much as they had hoped. With Photosynth you can essentially “drag” the photo around to see everything in it. Anyway, the point of this post is to chuckle at Microsoft’s dry humor towards “coolness.” As Apple and Mac computers as well as the iPhone are considered to be “cool,” the team at Photosynth decided to jab a little fun at this. If you try to install Photosynth software on a Mac/iPhone or apparently Linux, this message comes up:
Unfortunately, we’re not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.
Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site.
Well i guess I am just too cool.
