Fascinating stuff...this technology thing is really going to catch on some day.Those are just some of the new vehicles Scotland Yard is working on. 
I rather like this one, parking has got to be a breeze:

What? I thought the 400 f/2.8L II + 2xTC was better than the bare 800mm...
He he.... Fred, that all depends on who you talk to, and which lens they happen to own.

Instead of using 400 f/2.8 + 2xTC combo, I wonder why they didn't use 800 f/5.6 lens and avoid IQ degradation caused by the 2xTC ?He he.... Fred, that all depends on who you talk to, and which lens they happen to own.

All the time, that's usually how I do it for the resolution boost.

The giga-pixel revolution is really pushing the boundaries of high-resolution low-interest photography. Never before could lackluster images consume so much of one's hard drive.

Yes, it's quite common.

Not only that, but also make a pano out of vertically rotated shots in horizontal orientation.
Not to mention multi-row panos. And multi-row HDR panos. I made one that was 12 shots wide by 2 shots high x 3 shots deep = 72 shots. It spanned about 270 degrees.

Nah. Your idea is good (joining a horizontal row of vertical shots). Use it. The only thing that may have evaporated is a hope you may have had that the idea was original. Doesn't matter if it was original or not. What matters is that you are thinking creatively, which bodes well.

I must admit that the point of these gigapans always escaped me. I guess it's a great to get lost in it when you have nothing else to do, but is there any purpose to it otherwise?

It shows you what a very good camera and lens can do when looking down at what we might be doing, from on top of a very high tower. I'm not sayin' that the full 360 coverage is anywhere near a realtime capability at this moment, but I'm confident that it soon will be.

It, the idea, had dawned on me while in San Fran California, on the top floor of the children's hospital, as my daughter received her Chemo medicine, my mind wandered out the windows, admiring the inspiring city view, and beautiful cathedral near by, made me wish I brought my Nikon D700 that day, and it lead to mock photograph what I considered the standard horizontal shot, until for a brief moment, I told my wife in detail, of how i wonder if anyone had the idea to shoot these the opposite way, despite the fact that it would take many more photo's most likely stitched, and so on, she said, who knows, maybe not, you should try it, i said, yeah, but i left my camera at home, i have no tripod either, and i was just not up to task, ugh. i used my cellphone that day, but left with the wonder if it had been done, so well, apparently it has, lol! One reason i thought it would be cool, was because i had what was wide to me, Nikkor 24mm 2.8D, so it gave me the wonder to take in the city even more, and just crop the extra sky, if needed!

Absolutely agree. I wouldn't even think of doing a pano horizontally

My thoughts and prayers for your daughter and to you and your wife.
A few years back, I had an extended stay in our local hospital. I used my 2mpx mobile phone to take a series of vertical images. I had my laptop by my bed and used Photoshop to stitch a crappy but satisfying pano. - It helped to pass the time of day!
Now, with the 8mpx camera on my modern HTC ONE X phone, I touch the screen to start the pano sequence, sweep the camera across the scene, touch the screen to stop the image being taken & with seconds I have a perfectly stitched pano! (I didn't even have to find the front nodal point of the lens either )
