Now, I'm not one to normally spout about the inane ramblings of this nut-job, but dig the following:

QuickTime VR is Gawddamned Crap

At first I thought he was just going to ramble pedantically about how Apple's use of the term "3D" isn't "true" 3D. Whatever. But then it devolves into the most inane, ill-informed and asinine bizarro-logic about what's wrong with QTVR it's astounding (nevermind that his arguments, such as they are, apply to *any* panoramic software, not just Apple's).

And no, this is not satire. He means it.

Well, it's definitely true that the two example QTVRs on Apple's page are not particularly good ones.

Adam Hinkley = spl = Hinks, for those who recall Hotline. Now he makes KDX.

Mithras = Well, first off, Hinkley zoomed all the way out to the flat pano for maximum distortion effect to bloster his argument. Anyone who uses a pano knows that you need to be zoomed in a bit so navigating the image is "natural" looking.
