Google Earth on the iPhone

October 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I have been putting off getting an iPhone so far because I do love my N95, and I am becoming increasingly less tolerant of iPhone users who insist it does everything bar make a cuppa in the morning however, this little app from Google (of course) is really starting to test me.  Google have altered their Google Earth software to take full advantage of the iPhone’s screen and functionality.  Users can search Google Earth as normal however, when digging down as far as street level, users can tilt their handset and explore areas in 3D. Can I haz one now?

Don’t click

I saw a few months ago but never actually noted it down until I wanted to show it to someone this evening. Imagine going to a website and never clicking. Trust me, it’s harder than you would think. German Artist Alex Frank designed and developed a website to test your surfing habits whereby the entire navigation of the site goes against your natural instinct and encourages you not to click, instead by moving your cursor you can unveil the layers within the site. Pretty impressive.
