On January 24, two days after Ridley Scott's now legendary 1984 commercial went to air during Super Bowl XVIII, Steve Jobs stepped onto the stage at De Anza College in Cupertino CA, and pulled a beige box out of a canvas bag. As the lights dimmed and the opening notes to Vangelis' Chariots of Fire filled the room, the excited audience got its first glimpse of the Macintosh (video embedded below).

Most people have thousands of digital photos sitting on their hard drive. And the vast majority of those photos aren’t tagged or searchable.

And now suddenly TagCow appears, which allows users to upload photos and have them tagged within a few minutes. If there’s a mountain in the photo, it’s tagged.

The answer is, humans do it. I haven’t confirmed this yet. TagCow appears to be offering the service for free, so the cost side of the business may be a problem for them down the road.
