CES, Macworld…and Google Earth for Mac!

January 11th, 2006

Macworld is going on right now, and Steve Jobs announced that as of today Apple will start selling iMacs based on Intel chips - same price, same looks, but a lot faster. That was quick, given that the partnership was announced in fall. Engadget has a roundup of MacWorld coverage.

Probably not related is the fact that Google Earth is now officially available for download in the Mac version after having been flying across the web for some time.

If you are like me, you didn’t have a lot of time to follow the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (CES) and maybe you could say that the dominating theme from an Internet perspective is that the big players (GOOG, YHOO,MSFT) are starting to look a lot like media companies, and aiming to conquer the TV screen. If you didn’t have a chance to catch up, the BBC has a set of articles summarizing the show.

    Hi All Experts,
    Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…
