AirBnB: Vacation rentals, private rooms, sublets by the night
Don't stay at a hotel. Airbnb is a global network of accommodations offered by locals. It's more fun and very cheap, especially in big cities like New York, San Francisco, Paris, etc.
FSPViewer
There already many viewers available, so let's start from what FSPViewer is not. It is not a program for viewing panoramas on the internet.
FSPViewer is designed for viewing local (hard-disk, network or CD) high resolution panoramic images at full screen and with very high image quality. It uses advanced interpolation algorithms to show you smooth images without losing sharpness.
Internet viewers are designed for displaying small images in small windows, since bandwidth is limited. Viewing a panorama at full screen will give you a much more immersive feeling, but it will require much more resources from the computer. The whole image will be loaded in memory and the program will need to write a very high number of pixels, so a fast processor will be needed for smooth panning.
