That mouse panning convention has existed for at least 15 years in most web browsers. Click the middle mouse button to activate it in any web browser.
Not true at all -- then the view follows the cursor as I move it. On this site, the view moves towards the cursor when I click. Very different.
I don't understand the difference between "following" and "moving towards".

For anyone who is still looking: http://f.cl.ly/items/3w2j2h0a1a3h0M1K0i3l/ppl.jpg (you can only see the people at max zoom-level, they are really tiny)
I've found this lonely guy http://cl.ly/image/221I0N1x1c1Y
Good catch.
It is probably Kala Pathar (the most accessible point to view Mt. Everest from base camp to peak, according to Wikipedia [0]) since the photo was taken from Pumori.

#165Looks like there's a few on the icefall. Follow the line of garbage, then up and across the fall. The only hard part is dealing with the inverted mouse movement on the interface. Why would they do that???
For those looking: 1. Of the 3 mountains, look at the peak of the center one (Lhotse). 2. Below that, the right half is big chunky snow, and the left half is smooth, icey looking snow. 3. Look at the line where the smooth left half meets the chunky right half. - Halfway up that you can find CAMP 3. [You'll see little ant people marching up that centerline - follow them to their tents.] Also once you see CAMP 3, you a…
I can see the guys up there with a few tents, and a lot of tents below the rough patch of ice. But I can't see anyone in between or above the few tents between the peaks.
Does anyone know why? Is this photo taken early in the day so there there's no-one going for the summit yet? Or does the route to the summit go somewhere where the camera can't see?

#166There might be a couple of climbers on the left ridge of Everest, which I just read is the easier climb. If you look near the base of the ridge on the left, there is a strip of snow that starts going up the mountain. Follow the ridge up you will come across a little cloud puff rising up on the other side. Just beyond that point, you will see two super-tiny parallel specks that sort of look like they are leaning into the mountain.

Because they're awesome

Use Shift (zoom in), Ctrl (zoom out) and the arrow keys.
The interface is similar to RTS games, click and hold to move in that direction, not like maps.

#170When I saw the picture and it was totally zoom out , I thought it was a small road between some small hills.
That's totally a fractal!
