december 26, 2005 19:44 - Google Map black helicopter computer spotting
Just the other day I came across this site http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/14/google_earth_competition_results/ about Google map black helicopter spotting.
It's amazing what you can find using Google Map. If you haven't used it, then I recommend you try it out.
You can switch between map display and satellite photo.

Just imagine the data storage requirement that Google need to use to store the all this information on their computers.
Anyway, I saw that they found two SR-71 Blackbirds at Edwards Air force Base.
This base is most famous as a base for test flight located in the desert just outside of Los Angeles. It was at this base that Chuck Yeager became the first man to break the sound barrier. The Space Shuttle also use land here.
Sure enough, I found the two planes at Edwards. Here they are!
Don't know what a SR-71 is for a plane?
It is the most advanced reconnaissance plan in the US arsenal, or spy plane if you will and it's very secret.
The problem is that the plane has been put out of service and it has not been replaced with a new type of plane.
That is, at least not officially!
It is rumored that it has been replaced with a plane called Aurora, which can travel at even greater speed and reach near space altitudes.
Here are other more famous locations I found using the Google Map. 
Eiffel Tower, Paris 
Cheops pyramid, Egypt

I zoom in and here is our office.
Our office is located here in Voss.
The resolution is not that great of this part of Norway.
It is much better of my previous address.
I lived here before in Stockholm, Sweden
This satellite photo has a higher resolution and are of better quality.

NAND Flash memories can be found in everything from mobile phones, mp3 players and storage data devices. More and more people carry these gadgets around.NAND memories offer fast and repeated data storage of large files such as sounds and movies. Other attractive features as the preferred none violate data storage are the low cost, high density and long life expectancy. The demand for more NAND memory chips are increasing both in number and in memory capacity per chip. These chips are capable of storing large amount of data while retaining the data without power. Their only rivals today are hard drives. The source! Learn more at!
