Google Earth in the works for Mac OS X?

google_earthAccording to AppleInsider, Google has a beta of the satellite mapping application in the works for us Mac users. Google Earth allows a user to enter a residential or business address, and then "travels" to that location, starting from outer space via a series of satellite images. One of my PC-using friends loves to tell me how cool Google Earth is. Come on, Google. Let me answer back with, "Yeah, I was using it earlier today..."

Ack! Sorry, got distracted and missed a sentence above-- Should read: "On my Powerbook running Panther, it won't launch, and the Console shows this "dyld: /Users/toeknee/Desktop/Google Earth.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Earth can't open library: /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Quartz (No such file or directory, errno = 2)"

Also seems to require Tiger, but works wonderfully on my eMac 1.42 at work. Console shows this "dyld: /Users/toeknee/Desktop/Google Earth.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Earth can't open library: /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Quartz (No such file or directory, errno = 2) " I had never tried it on Windows, so I did not know how COOL it is!

Problem seems to be with Safari, downloading it in Firefox worked, when I did it in Safari it broke it. Works wonderful on my 2.3GHz G5 though, better than on the Windows machine at work.

This is good, but what I REALLY want to see is Picasa for OS X. Either that, or have Apple bring iPhoto into line with Picasa. If you've used both programs (and even if you really love Apple), you have to admit that Picasa mops the floor with iPhoto.

Works just fine, pretty smooth, in fact on my 12" 867MgHz Powerbook. Goodbye sleep, hello Earth.
