    I know I just posted about another video on Channel 9 and there are a ton of great videos on Channel 9, but I just have to post about this one.  Everyone should check it out.  It is totally awesome (like whoa) and you can even "hear" Scoble's jaw drop open.  ;)  The Virtual Earth team has taken maps to a whole new level!

    Pretty cool - I was hoping that "bird's eye view" would work for more than just a handful of metropolitan areas, though. And there are some areas where I looked that they don't have any pictures for all, just a white square w/ an icon of a camera w/ a slash over it. And other areas I looked at had mixed up resolution images, so some were from a much higher elevation than the others. Looks like they still need to work out some kinks in it. The bird's eye view is cool though, for sure. Those pics taken by what...helicopter?
