Comments on: Google Earth for Macs http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-earth-for-macs/ neat fun stuff Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:13:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Eric Orange http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-earth-for-macs/#comment-10813 Eric Orange Fri, 20 Jan 2006 23:30:13 +0000 http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/?p=171#comment-10813 Matt, got an odd thing going on with Blogger and thought i would bring it to your attention. Check this out. At this site, http://www.pubsub.com/site_stats.php?site=www.LocalWineEvents.com I can see what blogs have linked to www.LocalWineEvents.com On Friday last week, I had 67 blogs linking in, which is way out of whack, and some other spikes since then. Looking at them, like this one, http://tageg1.blogspot.com/ They are writing some nonsensical paragraphs and linking to an old search feature that I used from Digital Point. Note the line “you” in the second paragraph. I had trouble with the search program and quit using it about 3 weeks ago, but I’m trying to figure out what these folks are aiming at. I mean, I know that it’s links spamming back to their site, or at least trying to. When I discovered it, I put a redirect to my Big List, so now it’s getting nothing but even if it were working properly, the feature used my Google API to search my site and show results from LWE. This would have returned a “nothing found” answer. The logs are not/were not ever available to the public. Most of the links i'm seeing are all directing to a "search" feature of some sort. What you think? EVO Matt, got an odd thing going on with Blogger and thought i would bring it to your attention.

In the possible area of Urban Legend, it has been remarked that Al Quida in Iraq is a serious user of Google earth. That and a GPS and they can do some 'neat things'. With laptops proliferating in the US forces with superior(hopefully) access it isn't a biggy but it does point out unintended consequences. A Brit journal recently ran a contest of sorts to find 'black helocopter' and there were many located sitting on fields around the world and in flight. They even came up with a WWII Lancaster bomber flying over England. I guess Google also helps prove we all have too much free time and we need to return to the 80 hour workweek like a true Googler. Same journal discusses Google's plot to take over the world. It is British humor(humour) at its finest. Which means even a Brit won't get it and instead rush off at a tangent via Silly Walk. When you say Mac, they come out of the woodwork with the same ol' cliches. The reason they don't have virus problems is that if one seized them all they'd still need more computers to mount a serious DoS attack. LOL The Dual platform issue isn't new. They've had it since the 8080 card for the original Mac. And the common complaint currently is their emulator won't do this or that. Actually, lousy ideas in that regard go back into the ancient history of personal computing. Ohio Scientific had a multi-processor klunker that was supposed to let you switch between 6502 and 8080--CP/M and Apple II on one machine. The result was a computer that didn't do anything well. Why we persist in revisiting hermorphidites that never work as intended and leave us with less rather than more is a conundrum.

Trouble is he's going to have to write a new one now we are going Dual platform lol. Oh that’s gonna look so cool on my 30″ Apple Studio :-)
