Google is God

Google just keeps impressing me. They have a fantastic search engine (with great touches like Google: Scholar), an amazing free webmail service (Gmail), not to mention all the Google-integrated/sponsored platforms like Blogger for instance.

They've just taken it up another notch. I'm so impressed with this, I'd have to say it is SEVERAL notches up. Google: Earth. Picture a 3D "Mapquest" that starts from outer space. I've already located the individual houses we've lived in and have been "jumping" from one to the other. It looks amazing!

Check to make sure your computer is within the below requirements and if it is, download, install, and run this amazing piece of software.
