At last! Google have at last released Google Earth for Mac OS X. The one piece of software I really felt very envious of PC users for. Stop reading this and download it now!.

Amazing too to see the resolution with which our house is photographed - as well as the fact that Glasgow is available in such high resolution already. I look forward to checking out the user-community, as well as starting to tag some of my photographs with locations so that it’s possible to get more information about the environment and surrounds of my pics.

Of course, yesterday was another big day for Apple announcements, as the Steve Jobs show announced Intel based iMac’s and, coming in February, the new MacBook Pro, the replacement to the powerbook range (Which I have, and is getting very much a battered beast).

Finally, an advert I think will make most folk laugh, perhaps apart from employees of a certain company in Redmond, Washington. Check out Apple’s new advert: It is rather good in it’s understated glory.

Me, a mac fanboy? You’d never have thought it, eh?

    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…
