Google Earth for Mac sneaks out...

posted by [personal profile] sbisson at 10:33pm on 10/01/2006 under , , ,
The Google Blog points at a new radio button on the Google Earth download page.

Yes, it's out for OS X 10.4. No word if it's a universal binary...

Time to get rid of your illicit copy of the beta!

It's awfully pretty, but seems incredibly slow compared to the PC version - even with the cache size turned up.

Cache size doesn't really affect speed that much... But it's really really good to have when your laptop goes offline. :)
I have yet to see it in action on the Mac, but am looking forward to it.

It's not a universal binary.

So Google had a tiny booth in the Indy/Small developer's area of the Macworld show floor. There was an iMac running Google Earth, and a small crowd of people around it.

But there was nothing there to say that the app had been officially released, and the only person talking was a grey-bearded alpha geek who was not from Google.

It appears to be written using Qt Kit, thus looking ass and making the User Interface Guidelines cry.

One down, one (at least!) to go.

Three guesses what version of OS-X my iBook runs... and 10.4 isn't the right ansewer.

Oh well, might just work anyway.
