Google Moon Gets Major Updates
Doug Caverly | Staff Writer
When I think of incredible sights, a bunch of bumpy gray rock is
not the first thing that comes to mind. But toss in some
astronauts and a few lunar rovers, and now we're talking. And
now Google's showing - an updated version of Google Moon has
become available.
"This update brings higher-resolution map imagery, text search,
and photos and stories from every Apollo landing," stated
Michael Weiss-Malik, a software engineer, on the Google LatLong
Blog.
He then continued, "We even included Street View-style panoramas
of the moon's surface, taken by the Apollo astronauts ...
something you won't see anywhere else. And last but certainly
not least, we tossed in scientific charts that are good enough
for actual mission planning and science classrooms alike."

====================================================================
Of course, that "actual mission planning" phrase is a reference
to the Google Lunar X Prize, which was announced yesterday. (A
team from Carnegie Mellon University has already entered the
competition.) Anyone intending to use Google Moon for any
purpose will need to show some patience, however, as the site
doesn't seem to be running as fast as it might.
In other Google- and space-related news, there's been a great
deal of discussion about the company's use of NASA's airstrip.
And given all these goings-on, it wouldn't be too surprising if
the Google Copernicus Center turned out not to be a joke.
Delicious had this to say about the preview edition in their

"This Preview is a "sandbox" environment, which means that we've
imported your data from your live Delicious account, and that any
changes that you make inside the Preview will be totally lost
when it ends. This is good: you can play around, delete things,
rename tags to strange characters, and test it all out without
worrying that you've messed up your collection of bookmarks. If
you do wish to keep the changes you've made, you can use the
export tool in your Preview settings."
The Preview won't go live for some time, as they continue to
sort out design and data issues as they occur. For those who
have been invited to view the Preview, Delicious is taking
feedback in their forums.

Prince Pops Off At YouTube, eBay
David A. Utter | Staff Writer
The pint-sized popster Prince has lawsuits planned for YouTube,
eBay, and Swedish torrent search site The Pirate Bay over
unauthorized uses of his music.
Throughout his long-running battles with the recording industry,
Prince always seemed more enlightened than certain other major
acts that took the Internet as a threat rather than a potentially
lucrative marketing aid. His recent UK giveaway of nearly three
million copies of his latest album, "P***t Earth," delighted fans
and likely rankled the suits in the music industry.

====================================================================
His latest move comes right out of the RIAA playbook. A Reuters
report said Prince will sue YouTube, eBay, and The Pirate Bay
among other sites as an effort to "reclaim his art on the
Internet."
Prince's website doesn't note the lawsuit, but we're sure the
Pirate Bay will make it part of their legal threats page if and
when it arrives for the customary merciless mocking the Swedish
torrent tracker gives these notices.
His claims mirror those of other content providers: YouTube
can filter out porn and pedophile content, it should be able
to figure out when copyrighted material has been uploaded as
part of a video. YouTube has always answered these claims by
pointing to both the Telecommunications Act and the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act.

====================================================================
YouTube has been developing technology to automate the
process of detecting and removing copyrighted content. That
process has taken a long time without bearing any results.
It should be interesting if the case comes to court. We
really want to hear what Prince has to say if and when a
YouTube lawyer asks the Paisley One what value he places on
his work, considering the CD giveaway he promoted in the UK.
For those who might be wondering, "P***t Earth" is no "Purple
Rain." Idolator talked about the latest from Prince in July.
