Google Earth additions

I was surprised tonight that when I opened Google Earth on the reference computer, there were some new wrinkles. For example, GE has added links that bring up Wikipedia entries when you click on a location. Also, for some of the large cities, Google Earth can produce 3-D modeling of the buildings in the city. When I looked up Seattle, not only did GE give me the normal layout, but when I clicked on the 3-D option, GE gave me models of buildings that are still not represented by GE's satellite photography captures. Cool stuff!
