In a move seemingly designed to make me ruin the inside of my panties, Google has released the first cut of its Earth product, based on technology it acquired when it purchased Keyhole.
The product is, in a nutshell, a copy of the earth on your computer. In fact what it does it stream detailed data from Google’s massive database so that you only see the parts of the earth that you’re interested in at any particular time. It can also overlay data such as roads, populations, crime rates etc.
