Are the picture's updated?
Last time I Google Earth-ed my address, I could see my house being built in 2000 and the car of my then next-door neighbor who I despised.

Google is evil and looks for ways to undermine Conservatives on the web.
Here's the better choice:

Yeah, I know. I've read alot about it on newsbusters. They don't link to "conservative rags" because of percieved hate speech or some other such nonsense. Google's run by a pair of big libs, what did you expect?
Thanks for the link, but I've sworn off of microsoft products.

Its also has inaccuracies. It shows my address four houses up the street from me.

They've really added a lot of high res stuff but still managed to miss me by 10 or 15 miles. Oh well I'll keep watching.

Google may indeed be evil...but the resolution on their aerial is much better. Also they have the street names correct by my house.

Gave it a try and the photo is still the same.

But it's so freakin slow! magnification doens't update for like 30 seconds (on cable!) but by then you've clicked three times, thinking your click didn't register, then you get three screen refreshes in like a second. Only problem is, the second and third clicks are interpreted in the context as if the screen had refreshed so once again you're in the wrong place. WTF!

Works better in Destroyer. MS probably has some anti-Firefox code in there.

Works better in Destroyer. MS probably has some anti-Firefox code in there. And for those of you who think this is a joke or paranoia, a few years ago Microsoft purposely screwed up the display of MSN for Opera. It wasn't a render glitch, as MS detected Opera and sent out bad CSS -- Opera set to ID itself as IE worked fine.
To: antiRepublicrat
I remember that fiasco, which was why I suspected that this time. I remember that if you opened the page and saved the HTML locally with IE, then opened the file with Opera, it was also fine.

What are the advantages of downloading Google Earth over simply using Google Maps? Sorry if it's a silly question, I'm really this clueless.
