Google Earth: Amazing but Scary

For those of you who haven't seen Google Earth, you now have a new toy. The program allows you to look at satellite photos of most anywhere on Earth, with the ability to zoom in and see the smallest details. In zooming in at my parents house, I could tell what car was parked in the driveway when the satellite photo was taken. The high quality photos like this are only available for metropolitan areas.

According to Google Earth, The Dock is still open but don't get your hopes up because the bad news is that some of the photos have not recently been updated. However, it's still amazing the stuff that this program can do-- and with technology it will only get better. By the way, thanks to Neil Raggio for informing me about this program.
