Google Earth for Mac, developers wanted…
Or so it seems. Google wants a Senior Macintosh Developer – Mountain View and/or a Macintosh Developer – Mountain View. I suggest any Mac-developer have a go and bring us… Google Earth for Mac. 🙂 You may be very familiar with some of our desktop products including Google Earth, Google Desktop, Picasa, and Google Talk.,…

Google Earth for Mac, alternatives
It seems a lot of Mac owners, like me, are anticipating the arrival of the Google Earth client for Mac. Alas… it is nowhere in sight. 🙁 But do not despair. Actually, there are alternatives available, here’s three I can think of. ‘Virtual PC for Mac‘, ‘Remote Desktop Client for Mac‘ and ‘Google Maps‘.

Google Earth for Mac
What’s keeping you (Google) guys? I know, 5% of an audience isn’t much of an audience to reckon with. And I could just whip out my Dell to play with GE. But as mentioned at launch: Apple Macintosh computers are not supported at this time (but we are working on it). I know 1,5 months…

Commercial ads inside Google Earth
Here’s something I noticed lately. Advertisement through placemarks. I saw a few of these placemarks passing by on Googleearthhacks.com. What struck me was that they are blatant commercial placemarks. Whether they were put together by GE enthousiasts or not. A few examples: Youthhostel YMCA Hong Kong Which states phonenumber and roomrates. Bungy Jumping Golden Eye…

Google Blog Search fixes referral keywords

All this was caused by the redirects from the search results from Blog Search. This meant that anyone entering your site was leaving a referal from…

Google Blogsearch & Webfeeds
At first look there are no orange XML/RSS chicklets in Google Blogsearch. But if you look at the bottom of the page just above the pagination there’s this line where you can subscribe to either an Atom or RSS feed for the search results.

Google Blogsearch
Google launched a dedicated blog search engine today. You can read the FAQ here. It seems that Google also uses the engine for their free Blogger weblog service. Which makes me wonder how they will sift out the splogs, as Blogger is/was not willing to take down spam/autogenerated/offensive weblogs. Of course it’s beta. Need I…

Google Earth: Impact Structures Top 25 (was 10)
And here it is! My first public experiment with Google Earth. Some time ago I stumbled upon the Earth Impact Database. A table with all 172 confirmed impact structures on earth’s surface. Putting one and two together I figured it would be nice to see those impact structures visualised inside GE. I also figured it…

Katrina + CNN + Google Earth
Makes for some interesting first. I’ve been following the Katrina aftermath this week and today, watching CNN, I noticed something familiar. One reporter used Google Earth, live, in his report of what happened to downtown New Orleans. Highlighting, zooming in, several parts of the stricken city to discuss what has happened. In the mean time…
