There's going to be lots of bugs. It's pre-release software that is not supposed to be available to the public. What did you expect? If it was ready for public consumption, it woul…

Has anybody used it while iTunes is playing something? Does just moving the mouse over the Earth cause crazy stuttering of the audio? Does for me..

the stuttering on itunes isn't _that_ bad on my 1.67ghz 17" powerbook, but it is there. hopefully the final release will have fixed this.

I have that stuttering on my Mini too. The images of the UK are disappointing, we don't all only want to look at London.

Yeah Barney, I was looking at the Lakes too (that's where I'm from!). I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers. Being able to take a detailed 3D flight through the Lakes would …

If you're a walker monkeybrain, have you looked at the Pyrenees? Most of it is low res, but there are a couple of patches of hi res which are just stunning. You can see paths, vege…

It's pretty darn cool. Calling the UI unusable is a bit harsh IMO - it works just fine for me. Shame about the patchiness of the high res data but I suspect that that'll get chang…

Well "having worked in the industry" as you have you should realize that it's full of elite people who know the field very well. 3D technology is NOT user friendly in any way. It's…

You're confusing 3d-design tools with navigating a digital globe. Those are very different tasks.

Well, it sure is nice, and I hope it gets better, but there are at least two MAJOR bugs on a Mac Mini using dialup First one, it will cause the Mac Mini Dialup Panic, which usuall…
