Let's take a break from the usual conversational tone we have here at QJ when it comes to posts, and let's get, for the lack of a better term, "stiff." Moreover, just in case you're wondering, there's a punchline at the end of this in the form of a video. The punchline er, hook, isn't really meant to be funny, just mildly amusing. Also if you're going to be quick to complain with something akin to "what? This is supposed to be news?" Do not fret; this post is listed in off-topic.

Okay, we suppose it is safe to assume that all of us are familiar with NASA World Wind right? In the unlikely-hood that you aren't here is a quick description of the program:

World Wind is an application developed by NASA for use on computers running Microsoft Windows. The program overlays NASA satellite imagery and United States Geological Survey aerial photography on a 3D model of the Earth, Moon and Mars. The user interacts with virtual planet by rotating it and zooming in and out. Overlays of political boundaries, five million place-names, and lines of latitude/longitude are included in the application.

Now that's out of the way, here's the punch: a video of somebody operating it using their PSP.


Well what do you think? Video fake or authentic modification? Anyway, let me degenerate a bit and end this article by saying: kewl, w00t w00t!
