  "...The company, which aims at "displaying a city with an image which integrates macro planning and micro life," recently unveiled the image created from a 24.9-billion-pixel camera. The goal, as they explain, is to "substitute narration with images and make virtual reality feel real."

  Below are the details about the image, which was captured atop the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China:

  --> The resolution achieved in the photo is 195 gigapixels.

  --> By BigPixel's estimation, the photo, and many like it, exceed the resolution precision capabilities of most cameras by more than 2,000 times.

  --> The image is the first panorama created by the company, which means that it offered an array of subjects to showcase the capabilities of the technology.

  I remember my mum and dad having those fold-out paper concertina bells from Woolworths.  With a pre-decimal price sticker on them.
  I remember three channels on the TV (BBC1, 2 and ITV) so everyone could talk about the same shit.
  I remember drunkles giving me a tenner and it seemed like a king's ransom.
  I remember Yardley soap gift sets with the racing car toy.
  I remember sneaking Warninks advocaat through the day and then my folks offering me a big glass at night.
  That reminds me...
