Ever heard of it?  It's pretty darn amazing.  Down load it here and check it out.

oh wow, I now know the direct latitude, longitude and elevation of my parking space, heheh.

Combine this with the Star Wars project, makes me even more paranoid of my govt than I already was!

WOW. Very cool.
  Now if they upgrade it to show more grids of amsterdam like they have for a lot of US cities then I can see my parking spot too :)
  For those of you who are wondering, go to amsterdam, then westwards toward this lake called 'Sloterplas' and then close to its eastern shore.

Sloterplas?  I hope that means something nicer in dutch than it sounds like it does in english. :) just kidding

Edit: Apparently the world is ruled by microsoft (wow, that sounds like such an obvious statement)  Google earth only works in windows. :(

Got it, tried it, think it's amazing, showing my kids places I lived in Europe and Australia, funny to see those places again, from above... wierd, but in a cool way.

Now Go to Rio deJenaro, and tell me you could'nt laser someone from space....
