Anyone hear about this program, from the scrrenshots it looks pretty cool, however, I am unable to download it. Google sais to check back later.

Just wondering if anyone else has heard of it or used it before? :?:

[Catweazle]

Keep checking. It's a wonderful diversion when you get hold of it :)

[Stanislaw]

I was able to download it a couple of hours ago, its kinda creapy...gogle owns our souls. :twisted:

[server_crash]

That is simply amazing. Is it "real time"? I noticed a building missing in my neighborhood.

[Catweazle]

No. It's satellite photos taken no more than 3 years ago.

[server_crash]

Well, that's still amazing. I guess if it was real time you would need more than broadband!

lol, aint it the truth?

btw. has anyone else heard the rumor that Google may be creating an internet browser...could there be any truth in this? :confused:

...if so how long before a google os??? :cool:

[WatermelonX]

Heh, that's cool. But I heard that some people used earth.google to look for military secrets

I remember seeing a site about area 51, though I think it turned out he photoshopped the images.

[Stanislaw]

Heh, that's cool. But I heard that some people used earth.google to look for military secrets

I don't see how it would be really all that possible, the images of mahor cities are fairly clear but not clear o disern any real information I would think, besides the images are anywhere from 1 - 3 years old. But I suppose it could be used to estimate armaments or facility placement.

[server_crash]

It would be really cool if this was real time so that you could see cars moving and people walking around, but I know that would be dangerous on a few parts and hard without a super connection.

indeed, it would probably crash my computer if it were real-time :rolleyes:
I would not be suprised if google does have a realtime version...for the marketing division :twisted:

Ever been to the goole store...there is baby clothes with the google logo!!!

I wonder if this is the precursor to the "Matrix" :cool:
:cheesy:

How 'bout the Bermuda triangle? Anything special in there?
(I can't dowload .exe files right here)

[jwenting]

There's nothing in the so-called Bermuda triangle except some seaweed and maybe a sandbar or two :)

[Stanislaw]

ahh, but what about all the aliens, and crashed space ships, and Amelia eirhart!!! :rolleyes:

I think it is just a bunch of water. rocks, sand, fish, and I think their may have been a crashed ariplane or something from WWII
:cool:

It will not be long before Google throws over Microsoft and becomes the new company to hate...

[jwenting]

Hate is a negative emotion, it's totally non-productive.

[server_crash]

I don't understand the "success haters". I think google is AMAZING. The research and stuff they are doing is simply mind blowing...The same with Microsoft. Why bash the successful?

[jwenting]

one word: jealousy.
Many people can't stand it that others have success when they themselves can't hold a steady job (or at least not one where they make a few million off their own hard work, often they don't work hard of course).

Stanislaw, Emilia Earhart went missing over the mid Pacific, almost halfway around the world from Bermuda (and no, she didn't have the fuel to get there).
And aliens have never been found there or anywhere (unless it be some illegal aliens from Mexico or Cuba who got lost).
