Google Earth Launching For Free
Nathan Weinberg writes "Google launches Keyhole 3 today, rebranded Google Earth, and are dumping the subscription rate (except for a $20/year "plus" versions with prettier pictures) available soon at earth.google.com. The program lets you fly around a 3D globe, with overhead satellite photos, tilted 45-degree photos, 3D rendered buildings, and overlays that display everything from roads to hotels to bike routes. I have a lot of info and screenshots at InsideGoogle, and Search Engine Watch has a big writeup. With yesterday's Google Video release, this is shaping up to be a major week for the search giant."
C'mon, let's fan it!
Soar, to the tune of

Apple Bets Farm on Heterosexual Computing - GNAA Members Offended
San Francisco, Ca - Mikhail Borovskiy (GNAP) - Moments after the announcement made by Steve Jobs that Apple would be changing the Macintosh computing platform from a PowerPC based CPU architecture to an Intel Pentium based architecture, GNAA executives jesuitx and timecop were visibly shaken. The announcement confirmed rumors started four days prior when C-Net News reported that this change would be taking place. As C-Net News was the first technical news source to report this story, most people assumed the truth would be somewhere near the polar opposite of their findings.
"Guys what is going on? It seems Apple is trying to market towards 'Straighties'! That's never going to work! Fuck Apple, Apple is dead to me, Apple hit WTC!" said jesuitx upon hearing the news. He was later seen backstage speaking with Apple's Vice-President of Marketing, Phil Schiller, quoted as saying "Phil, baby, this is massively fucked up. As a typical Macintosh user, and as a fellow Vice-President of Marketing [Gay Nigger Association of America], I can tell you there's no amount of spin you could put on this that will save you from losing support from the homosexual installed base [all Macintosh users] that has kept Apple Computer alive for so many years!"
timecop, founder and President of GNAA, is expected to renounce Apple and order the immediate purchase of Chinese made IBM computers by its members, 87% of which are Macintosh users, at the July 8th Copperfield Conference to be held in Kyoto, Japan. At the last Copperfield conference, held in Nome, Alaska, timecop had praised Apple for their continuous support of the homosexual community.
About Apple
Until today, Apple Computer was the creator of the Macintosh, popularly known as the "gay computer". 87% of GNAA members were Mac users. Founded in 1974 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple was nearly out of business in the mid 90's, when Jobs was rehired. He then started the now infamous iGay marketing scheme which involved both the Step 2 ???? Profit model, and a 100% effort towards marketing to homosexuals. Apple is nowadays run by fuckfaced retards.

Sorry to have this particular topic bust everyones balls, but doesn't this promote terrorism to a certain extent? Considering that I live outside of the US, my territories are not really graphically covered (from a high resolution perspective). But the US territories seem to be beautifully depicted with high resolution. Wouldn't you use this tool to plan something? Doesn't this bother anyone? Don't get me wrong...I love this stuff! Find it to be the cheapest (and laziest) travelling alternative around, but certain security measures should be taken. For that matter, does anyone know if the people that realesed this have considered this?
5. Mac's are hard to program on.
4. Google doesn't want their stock price to go down from the excess cost of purchasing mac hardware to test on.
3. Mac users don't need directions, they use echo-location like dolphins do.
2. Windows users DO need directions, for obvious reasons.
1. Mac users know how to 'look out' for Windows! WAAA HA HA!
