  Not "anyone" could have made Facebook. That required years of marketing and effort and refining a technique. I mean, just by spinning the camera around a little further, to make it a full 360 degree panorama, he'll break his own record. I should write a script that makes the "world's longest string of QZQZQZQZQZ" and submit that. Or the world's largest picture of Mario. I'll just scale an SVG up to infinity. Granted, this guy's picture took a little more effort, but the exact same thing has been done, there was no new equipment created here, no refinement of technique, no new development. That is why I said anyone could do it. He did nothing new.
