Review: Google Earth 5.0

I've had the new version installed on my PC for a while now, and I must say, GE 5 is awesome! Not only can you explore the oceans, the whole archive of satelite and aerial shots (some even dating back to the 40's!) is available and easily accesed through the handy timeline feature. Other updates such as Google Mars are great too, but the history feature is the most prominent.

Youtube update - click to download

With youtube having HD and widescreen, I am really eager to see what they'll roll out next. Well now, it is possible to direct downlaod the .mp4 file on certain videos. For example, this weekly address from pres. Barack Obama.

Again props to YouTube for doing this!!

edit: as for now, the default downlaod is the SD .mp4, not the 720p HD version of the video

Smosh - breaking the habit

I have been a fan of smosh for some years now and they really keep their quality up. Sometimes a short is not as great, but that's easily balanced out with their other amazing videos. This week, a new short came out, called Breaking the Habit, and it's as random as usual. :D
