From: Vudu Suavage Soon I can realize my dream of living a full and vibrant life while frozen in the core of the moon. That sounds like a Philip K. Dick novel? |

From: DogSpot Boxer No, the question is how could ANYONE think that even in the most optimistic scenario that Google Earth would EVER been a competitor to SL? It's about the technology, not the content. |

I'd enjoy visiting 3D representations of places that I couldn't afford to see in RL and I'd welcome to chance to wander round shop simulations as well. I don't know what this means for the travel business unless they're willing to join in this new venture.
I downloaded the free version Google Earth but the resolution wasn't good enough to make out my home area let alone a car - is the priced version better in that respect?
