Apple has now officially announced an event on October 14th, where new notebook series will be introduced. It is expected that notebooks will become significantly cheaper. There are some rumors speaking of the introduction of Apple Netbooks or a tablet PC, other sources show a concept of a full display notebook as it is implied by the picture below.

The last apple keynotes were a little bit disappointing for some apple fans because of a lack of real innovations. Maybe this time there is coming something “big” again. But as it is always the case we will be sure of on October 14th after Steve Jobs has held his keynote.
The 160m² large aerial photo map includes the Dreiländereck Austria-Italy-Slovenia, and is located in Villach, Austria. The three regions of Carinthia, Friuli and Slovenia can be playfully explored from the air: The 160m² large orthophotograph showning parts of Carinthia, Italy and Slovenia is one of main attractions at the new shopping center ATRIO in Villach. 6000 sq. km of the earth’s surface are displayed here in a scale of 1:8000. That allows to display objects in a very large detail: Persons can cross the boarders of three countries, but also individual houses, bridges, cars on the street, trees and many other details can be discovered.

To produce such a great map several thousand actual flight recordings have to put together, the pictures have to be rectified geometrically and the different coordinate systems of the countries have to fit together. Also shadows has to be maniputated that it appereas that all pictures has been taken on the same time.
