The homicide detectives from the Melbourne department have recently started investigating a murder case, which seems to be taken out of a thriller that cannot be broadcasted before midnight. The body was found wrapped in plastic bags and dumped in the front yard of an empty Melbourne house that had an overgrown lawn, which covered the body all too well. common - comments - 13.12.2007

Michael Jones, chief
technology officer of
Google's geography software,
on Tuesday counted Google
Earth as fifth among the most
populous nations, by a measure
of how many people have
installed the mapping
application that lets people
see their house from space.
More than 200 million
people have downloaded Google
Earth, according to Jones, who
spoke here at the Fifth
International Symposium on
Digital Earth. That's just
under the population of
Indonesia at roughly 233
million and the United States
at just more than 301 million.
Brazil's population falls
short of Google Earth users
with 188 million residents.
Jones said that
Google Earth, which launched
two years ago, has also drawn
more installations than

Don't miss
this article if youre at
all curious about how Google
Earth works on a technical
level how data measured in
terabytes and terapixels get
sent over a relatively
straitened Internet connection
and processed by a relatively
limited home computer.
The article is by by Avi
Bar Zeev, one of the early
developers of the program
(when it was still Keyhole
Viewer):
After
reading an article called
"How Google Earth Works" on
the generally great site
HowStuffWorks.com, it became
apparent that the article was
more of a "how cool it is"
and "heres how to use it"
than a "how Google Earth
works."
So
I thought there might be some
interest, and despite some
valid intellectual property
concerns, here we are, with
"part one" of explaining how
at least part of Google Earth
works.
Google's mapping products
received updates Monday,
including four times more
high-res imagery for its Earth

Some time last week, Google expanded Google Earth with Google Sky. As fascinating as Google Sky is, that's not the focus of this
post. Along with the latest update comes a hidden feature of which I cannot seem to find any other information about. It's not in the release notes
and a search on Google produces no results. Seems Google have done one of their unpublicised updates they're becoming well-known for.
What I'm talking about is a flight simulator embedded within GE. Sounds awesome, doesn't it? If the thought amazes you as much as it did
me, then you might have run off and tried it for yourself. But there's a problem. Remember what I said above - it's a hidden feature!

This morning at the Google IO conference, the company announced a new browser plug-in that enables users to get the same high-flying experience
they've been getting in the standalone geography software application Google
Earth.
The diminutive plug-in, which weighs in at just 300k turns Firefox 2 (3 RC1 is not currently supported) or IE6 and 7
into 3D-capable mapping solutions. The technology ties into the Google Earth API, and the current example found here lets you zoom around all of earth, complete with 3D topography. The controls are a little
more stripped down, with one button that scrolls around and right click contextual menus that let the user control which angle they're viewing the
map from. In the future, developers will be able to build their own tools on top of this platform, and drop it right into their sites.

primarily been touted for its
uncanny ability to take users

After turning millions of Internet users into virtual explorers of the world with Google Earth, the Internet search giant is now hoping to turn many
of them into virtual stargazers.
Google is unveiling within Google
Earth today a new service called Sky that will allow users to view the skies as seen from Earth. Like Google Earth, Sky will let users fly around
and zoom in, exposing increasingly detailed imagery of some 100 million stars and 200 million galaxies.
You will be able to
browse into the sky like never before, said Carol Christian, an astronomer with the Space Telescope Science Institute, a nonprofit academic
consortium that supports the Hubble Space Telescope.

Michael Arrington: Googles Marissa Mayer gave a deep dive presentation on Google Earth at the DLD conference in Munich yesterday (see our coverage
from the first day here). Her presentation is embedded
below. Lots of interesting stats and creative use of the technology: Hundreds of millions of Google Earth downloads and activations, and the
equivalent of 1,000 human lifetimes have been spent looking at Google Earth. Many people are now using sketchup to build 3D models.
Google has updated their popular world mapping software with new features like ocean imagery, historical and touring. The newly updated Google Earth
5.0 allows users to take a trip back in time with the historical imagery, where available to see how land and buildings have changed over the years.
One of the biggest updates is the ocean view, where users can view and browse ocean levels that take users on a tour of selected places, with images
taken from partnership programs, like National Geographic. The update gives users the chance to experience images and videos from around the globe,
showing detailed images from just below the surface.
Google is talking with
military agencies after
learning that terrorists
attacking British bases in
Basra, Iraq, appear to have
been using aerial footage from
Google Earth. It appears that
among documents seized in
raids on insurgents' homes,
were printouts from Google
Earth showing the location of
buildings, tents, latrines and
lightly armored vehicles.
Precise longitude and latitude
coordinates were also going to
be used in the attacks.
"This is evidence, as
far as we are concerned, for
planning terrorist attacks. We
believe they use Google Earth
to identify the most
vulnerable areas, such as
tents," said an intelligence
officer with the Royal Green
Jackets battle group.
A few Royal Green Jackets
soldiers have said they would
consider suing Google if they
were injured in an attack
possible because of Google
Earth.
Google's
response to the problem: "Of
course we are always ready to
listen to governments'
requests. We have opened
channels with the military in
Iraq, but we are not prepared
to discuss what we have
discussed with them. But we do
listen and we are sensitive to
requests."
The technology comes from UbiqWindow and lets a computer screen be projected in mid-air.
They have devised a touchless way to interact with the "hologram", and Google Earth is a great way to show off its capabilities. it's not a 3D
projection, just 2D. But, it sure looks cool. via

Google announced this morning
that geotagged YouTube videos will now be viewable in a featured content layer of Google Earth. The company quietly added the ability to easily associate
a geographic location with your videos at upload over the summer. This new layer sounds like a lot of fun and could be quite an educational experience
as well, depending on video selection (see below).
As far as I can tell video is not yet integrated with Google Maps, so that
would be the next logical step. Video is one of the most compelling mediums in existence and its inclusion in local search could really bring some
zing to a search field everyone expects to be huge. Google Earth is likely another service with the bulk of its impact still far ahead of it.
