Well, I pretty like the idea of Google Earth, not just because of technology, but also how it brings technology to the public for free.

Such satellite images were once only available to the military but now come free for anyone who has Internet access.  This is actually rebellious.  So, don’t you think only the big boys can fool around at your backyard – you can fool around theirs as well.

However, perhaps just self-deceptive - after all, you have to go back to the big boys’ office for a job on the next morning...

Anyway, does anyone have the placemark for the presidential mansion?  (before Google takes down the image due to political pressure)

(Sep 1 updates: Placemark located. Both kmz and jpeg now attached. Frankly, not very impressive... Even the government official web has better pictures...)
