Official Google Blog: Happy Birthday, Google Earth

Google Earth. New, improved, and now for Linux too!

To install on PCLinuxOS and I suspect most linux systems –
Open terminal window.
cd to directory the .bin is located in.
Switch to root user – sudo
Change permissions on .bin – chmod 777 GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Execute .bin – ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Follow the onscreen directions.
Waste many hours and no fuel while going nowhere from the comfort of your own computer!

Techdirt: MPAA: The Grateful Dead’s Success Was An Abomination Against Nature
Witness this bizarre exchange between John Perry Barlow and the MPAA’s Dan Glickman debating the future of the entertainment industry. Barlow notes that he made an awful lot of money as a songwriter for the Grateful Dead, which encouraged its fans to make tapes of its shows for free. Glickman immediately responds by saying: “It is ridiculous to believe that you can give product away for free and be more successful. I mean it defies the laws of nature.”

He (Glickman) sounds like a complete idiot. You’d think that folks that make public statements would at least stop and think before opening their mouth. But then we live in the Bush years too… 🙁

Boing Boing: US branch of “Pirate Party” launches

I’m for it! From what I have read of their platform it sounds like they are trying for a reasonable, fair and balanced copyright system. Something the lawyers will never go for…

Man accused of crashing UBS servers | The Register

The bank screwed up pretty good. Not that what the guy did was right either. I like that the judge wouldn’t keep the trial secret.
