Mad78 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Now it seems that Google has decided to have a go at the IM market.http://www.google.com/talk/What do you think of it. It is rather limited at the moment since its only for GMail users but it is going to expand. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn90 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Lol! Google has everything. Try maps.google.com, type in your address, full zoom, then click satalite. I could see my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad78 Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 I must say that is bloody impressive. Pity the maximum zoom is limited to the states. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JediIgor Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I must say that is bloody impressive. Pity the maximum zoom is limited to the states. Actually I can't even get it to zoom on my university town (Urbana) . As for Google Talk, I tried to set it up with Gaim but it keeps disconnecting me from some reason.. and I won't ever get a separate client .

Mad78 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I will have to give Gaim a try one of these days. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Google Talk, I tried to set it up with Gaim but it keeps disconnecting me from some reason.. and I won't ever get a separate client . I was wondering ho often the databank is being updated.I've found my city. but the resolution is crap. Budapest looks great however.Is there any option for ordering hig detailed shots? Now that would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytos Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Same with me LLF, I've found roughly where my home is (as well as what's apparently area 51 if anyone's interested ).It's so annoying because the region next to mine has the maximum resolution where you can make out individual cars!!!I'm just interested if you can see my house through all the trees http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I will have to give Gaim a try one of these days. I tried it a while ago, and never liked. And as I don't use either Y! or any IM other than MSN, most of its functions were wasted.  Graphically it's pretty crap too. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 km away, it's high detail I'm wondering what that big white field in Are 51 is ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender_16 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 There's some program similar to Google Map that the CNN guys have been using lately to look at the layout of New Orleans. Anyone know what it is? It seems to have a good resolution on the maps they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eko Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Once you get too close in the aeiral photo's resolution gets pretty poor so I can only see white blurs. I can see the rough area though.
