    Someone using Google satellite maps to explore AREA51

    (there's so many of these things out there, people using google satellite maps to look at everyone and everything - its a wonder the US government hasn't closed it down yet ...)

    The reason it hasn't been closed down is that you really can't see anything. there is no data past a level 4 zoom that doesn't already reveal everything shown when an image of Area 51 was leaked onto the net sometime in 1998, claiming to have been taken by a Russian Satelite some years before...

    Well, I wasn't just referring to AREA51, but to the fact that even at that low magnification, it still gives anyone anywhere in the world access to satellite surveilance of any location in the US.

    Then again, give it some time.

    I think it'd be more of an issue if it were real time, but I do see your point, it gives easy access to photographic maps, if you were planning anything

    I'm sure you've prolly already seen it, but if not, check out www.jedi.com.au - I haven't quite worked it out yet, or how much of a cut Uncle George will want, but it's "wacky" alright!

    Looks like a hack trying to use SW to sell his unpublishable new-age self-help books.

    I don't like the product, but boy, I love the ad.
    I swear this had a bigger budget than many short films..

    For a while you could type "Paris Hilton isnt a [insert derogatory term of your choice here]" into Google and it would come up with a great suggestion, but nowadays all you get is results telling you about the Google suggestion.

    Remix NIN single "Only"

    "Trent Reznor's doing it again, only bigger and better this time. On the heels of his successful 'The Hand That Feeds' remix, Nine Inch Nails and Interscope Records are offering 'Only,' from NIN's With Teeth album for remixing.

    Unlike the last NIN remix, which was exclusive to one music-mixing application, the loops for this event are available at ACIDplanet.com in WAV format with accompanying ACID® project files. "As a key partner in this event, we wanted to make the loops more accessible so anyone with a computer ? PC or Mac ? can have the chance to create their own "Only" remix," said Dave Chaimson, Vice President of Marketing for Sony Media Software.
