Apple Macs on Everest

Check out National Geographic’s article on the video editing system used by an Everest expediiton to send daily 3 minute dispatches from the summit. 2 macbook pros, lacie rugged drives and a sony camera were rigged up to transfer videos and photos, all powered by solar energy. It’s great to see that the same technology we are using for holiday videos and snowboard clips is just as viable up there @ Basecamp. Good thing they chose Macs. You wouldn’t want to encounter the blue screen of death (does this still happen?) up there.
