A group of Russians decided to say “Hi!” to all other Google Earth lovers around the world in their own, very Russian way. They painted on their rooftop a word that is very popular in Russia and yet the most well known curse word (as popular as “f”-bomb in the US)

Google Earth plumbs the depths of the oceans


Google Earth, the online mapping service that offers a bird's-eye view of the globe, will now let users see underwater landscapes from around the world.

The new feature lets people go on a virtual dive, seeing some of the most endangered marine spots on the planet. The software, which can be downloaded now, comes with video streams, photo galleries and stories from marine protected areas across the globe.

It has been produced as part of the Google Earth Outreach programme, which gives charities and campaign groups access to Google's data and programming resources. Previous projects have shown the sites of attacks on refugees in the Darfur region of Sudan and the environmental impact of mining in the Appalachian Mountains.

For the latest project, undersea views include those of the habitat of threatened species that live off the coast of England.
