I don't know about this

Hey!! Now I can show the world something!!!!!

I played with it this morning, and I loved it! MapQuest used to have aerial photos of addresses, but they stopped doing that. I nearly cried. I love to see an aerial shot of an address!

I saw the title of this thread and thought it said Google Evil satellite map feature. Why is that, i wonder.

I wonder!

I'm not quite sure why there would be "privacy concerns" about this as they're not live images. If they were, you'd probably see a certain washed up TV host arguing with his wife on his farm.

With all these sat image sites popping up, I might have to meet with my neighbors to see if they'll let me paint their roofs white so it says "You suck" when viewed from a satellite.

I have a several big fields in front of my house, just imagine the message I could convey..

Crop circles?

Bahh, that's so been done already. I'll be my own man. Crop squares.

Hey, ma! I can see my house

Hmm, how do I say this.. I'm not your ma.

But! OMG! *cries*

Hmm, how do I say this; I'm not your G.. either.

And I had high hopes too.

Google Now Supporting (Some Call it Underwriting) Popular Public Television Program

Although Google has been known for making it's name and brand awareness to this point by primarily using word-of-mouth, viral marketing, and great pr, it's clear that the company is moving into using more traditional techniques to promote its products, services, and reinforce its name and brand in the consumer arena. MediaDailyNews reports that Google is currently sponsoring/underwriting (the actual text of the spot says "supporting") the popular public tv program NOVA that airs on PBS. A 15 second Google video "spot" is seen before each program. A Nova also has a page for Google setup on its site where it's listed as an underwriter and where you can view one of the 15 second announcements (QuickTime, Real, MS Media).

You can view the google announcement at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/funders/google.html

Google Offers $1 Billion for 5% of AOL

Google has offered to pay $1 billion for a 5 percent stake in America Online, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, effectively pushing Microsoft out of any negotiation with Time Warner. The news marks a major setback to Microsoft's efforts to gain a more even footing with Google in the search industry.

If the rumors prove true, it would mean nearly a year's worth of negotiations between Microsoft and AOL would have been for naught. Microsoft had endeavored to convince AOL to drop Google for MSN Search, as well as combine the sales and advertising departments of the two companies.

I hope AOL stays with Google and runs M$ off .
Never cared for MSN anything .

Me, too. I like MSN even less than AOL.

Government Wants Google Search Data

The Bush administration on Wednesday asked a United States federal judge in San Jose, Calif. to order Google to turn over search records from its database. The request stems from a failure by the search giant to comply with a subpoena issued in October.

The federal government is attempting to gather data to support a child protection law that was struck down two years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court. Under that law, the government could punish pornography sites that made content easily accessible to minors.

However, the Supreme Court found the law too broad, and said that it could restrict the ability of adults to access these sites. It gave the government an opportunity to either rewrite the law or prove that it doesn't violate the First Amendment rights of the Web site owners and visitors

I heard about this one. Google is going to fight it all the way.

Good link up there for the Cell phones. I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks Harold Always nice to hear people like some of the stuff I post or link to

Yall better stay away from those sites. This is going to far-I read some blogs from Iraq so I guess they know that too.

Decided to change the topic since I put all my google stories here

Google Censors Chinese Search Results

Google on Wednesday launched a Chinese version of its search engine, however as can be expected the company has made some concessions in order to appease the Chinese government. Searches on the topics of human rights, Tibet, the Dalai Lama, and democracy now omit certain Web sites and redirect to Chinese government Web sites.

The company defends its actions as a way to make information more accessible in China. However, the company has always prided itself on offering the most open, unadulterated results; Wednesday's move seems to contradict that philosophy.

"Google's statements about respecting online privacy are the height of hypocrisy in view of its strategy in China," worldwide press freedom group Reporters Without Borders said in a statement. "Freedom of expression isn't a minor principle that can be pushed aside when dealing with a dictatorship."

Google Zooms In Satellite Map Imagery

Google on Tuesday updated the satellite images in its Google Earth software and Google Local search, adding two more zoom levels that provide a close-up birds-eye view of locations around the world. The change comes after Microsoft's Windows Live Local added similar capabilities.

"Now for many areas around the world you can see a lot more detail than you could before," said Google Earth team member Chikai Ohazama. "Take a look at people standing at the gates of Buckingham Palace in London, or jump over the pond and see the Statue of Liberty in New York."

Google News Finally Leaves Beta

After over three years, Google News is finally leaving its beta status behind and becoming a fully launched product. The site, which aggregates news stories from across the globe automatically, is available in 22 regional editions and 10 languages. With the graduation from beta, Google has added a feature that recommends stories based on previously read subjects.

"We've also added a section to show you the most popular stories in the Google News edition you are viewing (e.g., U.S.). Now you can see the top stories being published by editors across the web, as well as other stories popular with readers, plus topics that you track or are interested in -- all on one page," said Google News creator Krishna Bharat.

Ann posted this the other day , says swim the atlantic ocean

She did not post it in the right area I see

It was a forwarded email she got

Did she share the kid one talking about monsters that i put in the wild and crazy links area yet?

no I never even looked at the link
I read the stuff , but dont always look at everything

I posted alot of good links tonight even some new sasquatch commercials and the trunk monkey ones too

I seen the trunk monkey Youtube ones , those are darn funny , I went to the Beef Jerky one and its slow right now for some reason . Those too are great commercials !

The trunk monkey one I linked to had alot of new ones in it I never saw before I loved the aliens trunk monkey one That was soo funny

Did you happen to catch what kind of wrench the monkey was using ??? It was a Monkey Wrench ....... LOL how poetic

Yep I thought it was funny

As the saying goes.. Wherever Ann posts is where the post belongs.

Are you saying that to get in good graces with the Oi sisterhood?

I am saying that because it is the truth. Nothing more..

Now if Ann suddenly feels the need to spank me for being such a good/bad boy? Well, who am I to stand in the way of progress.

Just in case my previous comments about Ann are taken too lightly..

The Oi is evi.. Without the L, on both parts!

Ahhh so you have an ulterior motive for sucking up to Ann

Don't we all? Don't we all..

Not all of us do <looks at Dizzy for approval>

Spanking is not what Ann will do to you when she sees you almost called the Oi evil.

]
Very good Tral, very good.

I'm not that crazy.

Oi is evi, Oil is evil. There is a difference you see. It's all in the L.

I'm not sure that everyone will accept that distinction.

I dont as A Trayus was in a neverending story and A Trallyus is on Harolds board

Also Harod was a king while Harold is a board owner

Hmmmm I guess L's do make a difference

Indeed they do.

I've always liked the never ending story. Though, as I have learned.. Even though I always liked it, it is best not to let a kid watch it unless you are prepared to answer why the horse died. At least until the end of the movie anyway..

Moonchid doesn't sound quite right without the L.

When that movie came out my kids would come home from school and watch it over and over and over.

I e-mail with a guy who does voice over work for pixar and other companies. He was looking for a voice for a tree and I told him to watch The Never ending Story and use the voice of the rock guy (I can't remember his name)

I read it as Line 24, Line 23 for me was Turn right at Long Wharf, then it is swim across the Atlantic Ocean.
