Google Earth beta 4

Google Earth 4 beta is out.
It performs much more smoothly on my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz.
The previous version 3 was quite jittery and jumpy on my Mac, which detracted from the smooth earth navigation sensation.

Since it's beta you have to specifically go to the website and download it; it won't show up as an update.

There is also a new satellite image of Ottawa.
With clouds.
Over Parliament Hill.

Now I know this is all about image windows and automated selection and stuff but it is kind of annoying.

UPDATE 2006-07-03: Yahoo Maps has a clear image of Parliament Hill.
