If you went to the U2 concert at Rice Eccles Stadium May 24, we hope you smiled. You were on camera! The U2 360 FanCam images were taken after The Fray’s performance. It appears they used a solution similar to Pictometry, a law enforcement tool. Visit www.u2.com/gigapixelfancam/110524. You can zoom in and move around the stadium [...]

Apparently Devin was the perfect candidate to team up with long-time musician and Utah favorite Peter Breinholt, in order to see what it takes for a video to go viral. The [...]
