This cool feature has taken up plenty of my time this week. Live Maps has a new twist on the old straight down view offered by Google Maps. Now you can see the view tipped on an angle with perspective, and you can rotate around the four compass points to boot! Looks like Age of Empires somehow. Pretty cool.

Something sure to displease simulation fans, Saitek has been aquired by MadCatz. I'll reserve judgement, and hope for the best.
