Google Earth is soon to release a plug-in that will allow 3D content from the Google Earth archives to be displayed within your browser window – rather than using the stand-alone Google Earth app. The plug-in currently supports, in it’s Beta form, Firefox 2 and IE6/7.

I don’t know about anyone else here, but are you getting sick of this Microsoft-Yahoo stuff? I’m covering it because it would be silly of me not to, but does anyone really care that much anymore? Microsoft – If you want to buy them, front the cash. Yahoo – If you want to be bought, [...]
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is going to suggest a new board of directors for the shareholder’s meeting on the 3rd of July.

The micro-blogging site that’s big in America, has been used to good effect in the current US election race. Of course, it’s main users are the geek types, who like to check up on what other geek types are up to (check the links on the left!) Well now 10 Downing Street have jumped on [...]
