Some Great Google Earth Pictures

Was just sent this article from PC World highlighting some of the strangest things people have found in Google Earth’s satellite images. The huge rabbit is cute, but the elephant and camel shots are amazing in their detail. My favorite, though, probably is the landscape formation that appears to show an Indian listening to an iPod. Smile

Anyone know if there are similar images or articles from other satellite imagery sites such as Microsoft’s? Just curious if the different database sets = different finds.

    What no discussion of the Black Helicopters?

    Check out el Reg’s (theregister.co.uk) db on black helicopter photos caught in the act.

    That article was interesting.  The weirdest one, imo, was the blood red lake in Iraq.  Its a link in the lase slides description (the last slide is also quite interesting, with the fighter jet that appears to be sitting in a residential parking lot – lol)!

    Why iPod, why? Just say "MP3-Player", Ozy.

  • Momo Hemo

    You mean there’s actually mp3 players out there instead of the ipod?

    No, wait… he probably shoulda said zune. ;)

    Ozy, it would be interesting to get your view on a few items.

    - GTA IV delayed till Q208.  Is this at all related to a jam packed fall line-up?

    - DVR add-on for PS3 rumor.  Likely?  Do you see  gaming consoles playing more of a role in content aggregation then today’s extender experience?  Any hopes for you guys to extend an olive branch to Sony and perhaps enter into some relationship where they  build Media Extender into PS3?  The same question, with Nintendo?  You might lose a little value in XBox 360 as it relates to product differientation but you gain more support for the Media Center platform.

    - HD-DVD format marketing.  Who is out there engaging studios & retailers to gain support?  Are studios so entrenched that no one is budging?  Will a swing (increase) in device sales open doors with studios?

    Thanks
