How to kill time and scare people

How to kill time and scare people

I saw the news stories about Google buying Keyhole Corp, so figured I’d take Keyhole for a spin.

Holy crap, is it cool, in a frightening if-this-is-what-my-personal-PC-can-do-then-what-are-the-government-capable-of kind of way.

If you have a halfway powerful PC and net connection, it’s ace fun swooping around the US, gallavanting across the mountains from coast to coast, zooming in on your house, then taking an as-the-crow-flies flight to work and back. It’s like playing with the mystical WhateverTechnology from 24.
