What I'm talking about is a flight simulator embedded within GE. First of all you'll have to install the latest version of GE. As you can see from the screenshot there are only two aircraft to choose from at this stage. Before going wild pressing random keys like I did, have a look at the controls. Once you have entered flight simulator mode for the first time, you can re-enter the mode by choosing Tools > Enter Flight Simulator.

It has been a while now since the Google team announced their heavily anticipated new addition to the ever growing Google empire. This time it was a work group related application that was supposed to take us by storm. For a brief moment it actually was as well. But then what happened?

Whether as part of our jobs, voluntary ventures, or joint blogs, working with people around the world has become part of life for many of us. Sometimes, it is so easy that we don’t even know where the people we’re working with are located.
Shared, collaborative Google Maps can help solve that issue and improve the perception of proximity by creating a visualization of all the team members’ location. For a great example of Google Maps in action, visit the MakeUseOf Team Members map. Now, let’s see how to create a shared Google Map where each of the team members can locate himself.

During the UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen this week, Google unveiled an advanced Google Earth prototype that allows satellite imagery to show and measure the progression of deforestation in regions around the world. Google teamed up with software experts Greg Asner, from Carnegie Institution for Science, and Carlos Souza, from Imazon (both institutions with forest data programs used in Latin America) and created a “cloud-based computing” technology that gathers all satellite imagery data for a region and displays them in a user-friendly format.
Google offers before and after stills of the technology on their blog: BEFORE: Deforestation in Rondonia, Brazil (1975-2001) using satellite imagery AFTER: Deforestation in Mato Grosso, Brazil (Augustin 2009-September 2009) using SAD technology created by Carolos Souza. Red signifies recent deforestation. AFTER: Deforestation in Rondonia, Brazil (1986-2008) using CLASlite technology created by Greg Asner.
