Oh my God is this hot!

Google just launched its Google Earth application and if you download it you can see amazingly detailed satellite images of everything from the Mall to your house. I just checked out where my bosses live - nice pads all - and maped one of our offices in Iraq. Yeah, Google Earth does other countires too.

Closer to home, if you click the “3-D buildings” option on a map of DC, you can fly through downtown. You can even “crash” into buildings, just like some Saudis tried to do a few years ago. Nice.

To the left is a prominent memorial in DC that you should recognize right… about… now.
