Google Building Maker
Introducing Google Building Maker
Do you use Google Maps?
Can you build a building on it?
Well ….
On Oct. 13. 2009 – Google “today we’re announcing the launch of Google Building Maker, a fun and simple (and crazy addictive, it turns out) tool for creating buildings for Google Earth.”
“We like to think of Building Maker as a cross between Google Maps and a gigantic bin of building blocks. Basically, you pick a building and construct a model of it using aerial photos and simple 3D shapes – both of which we provide. When you’re done, we take a look at your model. If it looks right, and if a better model doesn’t already exist, we add it to the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth. You can make a whole building in a few minutes.”

Is it really a handy audio and video recorder?
Well according to all reports and a review by the “GizWiz” it seems to work well enough for the price.
With this Q3 you should be able to do quick shooting with great stereo sound and descent video (640×480)with a digital zoom. For editiing is has a built in USB cord and also comes with a 2GB SD card (and will take up to a 32GB SDCH card.
Did I mention that it records in stereo! It has two condenser mics. These mics X/Y are directionals so that you can focus the mics on the sound sourse. It also has built in audio meters. You can also just record the audio without using the video side. and it all runs on two AA batteries.
Accessories include: windscreen, AV cable, soft carrying pouch, 2GB SD card and AA/LR6 trial batteries. Optional accessories are a Mic clip adaptor and an AC adaptor.

From All Things Digital: “Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, the latest iteration of Apple’s operating system, arrived at market today–about a month earlier than originally anticipated. And while it doesn’t really deliver the GUI enhancements we’ve come to expect from Apple (AAPL) and some incompatibilities are riling people up” – http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20090828/hello-kitty-a-snow-leopard-review-roundup/
Basically I watched Leo Laporte install a fresh copy of it and basically he stated that Apple really only release a service pack os called Snow Leopard.
