Google Earth Launches | Comments (3)

Google Earth is a free download (for windows) that enables you to view the earth as a 3D object that you can zoom in and fly around. You can adjust the tilt and see buildings in 3D, fly to locations, it really is quite amazing.

Imagine a combination of Google Maps and Google Local in 3D. The search facilities can literally fly you anywhere on the map

It really has to be seen to be believed. If you’ve got windows and your machine’s up to the spec take a look.

@Palace fan - Yes you’re right, it would be nice to see versions for both mac and Linux.

Especially as I’m planning to move to Mac in the near future! I’ll be able to add this to the list of apps I’ll miss!

Scrolling issue in Leopard cured with PRAM reset|(0)

Having got a shiny new MacBook Pro to work on at my new workplace I’ve had a couple of strange problems with Leopard. The main issue was that when scrolling the graphics was suffering what appeared to be a strange redraw problem when scrolling. After googling I found this post:“Distorted graphics in Leopard when scrolling”.

Fortunately for me: resetting the PRAM has worked and the flickering issue has gone for now.
