Google Earth in the works for Mac OS X?
According 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..."Share

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)"

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!

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.
