The gOS is out on cd

I'm now running the gOS they finally shrank it down under 700 megs so you can put it on cd, now m not going to spew a lot of blah blah because I just started to use it this morning. I haven't even loaded it into my desk top yet. But my first impression is: This is going to certainly could compete in the mass market, the only trouble I have is when you change the desk top around you can loose your way in the shuffle, if they put a default button for the settings to bring it to the as is in the opening screen that would be great.

you can get it from of course a link in distro watch (excellent linux site)

Google Earth gets weather, new layer layout - Download Squad
From What I read in the Download Squad submitted by Brad Linder this New layer option will allow you to view the weather updated by both Weather.com and the Naval Research laboratory in Monterey.

If you haven't checked out the new version of Google Earth I would highly recommend it, the Google Sky could keep you busy for hours at a time.

Now you can check out the weather as well ... Nice!

The Helicopter: A Hundred Years of Hovering

The Helicopter: A Hundred Years of Hovering
Wired News put this in their top stories today, The celebration of Frenchman Paul Cornu Helicopter in 1907. My First experience with Helicopters began skimming the tree lines of the jungle at like 180 mph. They really are incredible to ride in. If you have done so already. This article By Robert Lemos, is pretty complete and has great photo's of the evolutions to of the machine into what is todays modern Helicopter.

Songza - The music search engine & internet jukebox. Listen. Now.

Songza - The music search engine & internet jukebox. Listen. Now.
I found this on Google reader pretty Neat I did share it in my google shares but Its so neat I thought I would post about it. Skreemr was cool don't get me wrong but this takes streaming song search to another level. The interface is present and the search for the top performer of the song, is at the head of the list.

Now of course you never know what will happen to the future of these sites, with all those litigation hounds out there, but lets not think of that... Just search a song and press play and enjoy yourself for a bit.
