    Raleigh, NC video of Birds Eye 3D

    The Google Earth blog posted a nice video of the new textured cityscape of Raleigh, NC featuring the Birds Eye overlay. The video looks good, but its so tiny that its difficult to make out the details. You can tell that Frank Taylor, the video's creator, has logged a lot of hours with the SpaceNavigator; his in-city nav skillz look pretty good!

    Frank raises an issue with 3D navigation in Virtual Earth:

    Using a 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator 3D mouse makes using Virtual Earth much better. I rarely used Virtual Earth until they started supporting it. Microsoft needs to improve the user interface for non-SpaceNavigator owners - or they need to give everyone a SpaceNavigator for Christmas!

    Maybe not a Navigator, but i know a lot of Wireless XBOX controllers are going into circulation this yuear :-) Seriously though, I don't work on the 3D team but I know they would appreciate more specific feedback on this issue Frank raised. What about the non-SpaceNavigator navigation controls and experience would you change? email feedback to me at stevelom a t microsoft d com or post in the comments below.

    徵信是個富有挑戰的工作,忙碌、刺激、激情。最后的結局總是有人哭,有人笑。在徵信社工作的幾年時間里,我感悟到很多生活的無奈與殘酷。閑暇時我去中古车市场,感覺工作太緊張,放松一下而已,不是純粹的為了淘二手车。私家偵探也就是徵信工作人員似乎是個很酷的詞,但是如果誰需要私家偵探來幫忙的話,他(她)的婚姻也許已經亮起了紅燈。每天陪著星際客戶喝著咖啡,似乎是一件很爽的事,可是她們的眼淚比咖啡要苦的多。常常聽他們說嘈雜的燈光音響麻痹著他們的神經,讓他們過著醉生夢死的生活。其實,誰不渴望幸福美滿的愛情。沒有團體制服不了那些玩弄生活、玩弄感情的人,于是,徵信社應運而生。這不知道是人們的福音還是不幸,希望天下的每一個人都歡樂著、幸福著。坐月子是女人一生的大事,女人可以为了襁褓中的婴儿放弃一直引用的红酒而吃月子餐,这时候的女人是幸福而伟大的。有人歡喜有人優,有人狂笑有人大哭,我不想看到女人太多的眼淚,辭職后,我做了一位安靜、平和的室內設計師。虽然上下班没有了车接车送,但我租车怡然自得。偶爾和ecosway的朋友小聚,很愜意!

    I just flew cross-country using my brand-new Wireless Gaming Receiver and an Xbox 360 controller. Very cool! When I crested a mountaintop and saw I had reached the Pacific Ocean, I felt like I was discovering it for the first time. And when I flew down along the coastline and the Golden Gate bridge came over the horizon, I felt like I was discovering an alien civilization or something, haha. :)
     
    By the way, in my travels I noticed what is either the craziest-looking mountain in the world or a pretty drastic elevation data glitch:

    But honestly the old ctrl-q mode wasn't too bad. I wonder if the writer even knew about it.
    I think the most innovate interface so far has to be from Brian Peek and the wii remote, Brian was kind enough to let us repost his article:

    Its sounds like the VE3D control just needs to have some more awareness that it can be configured in many way to suit the user's taste.
