Oops: Ogle Earth saw it's fifth birthday... last week.
Article about the Ogle Earth post calling for an end to the censored Google Maps for China. The author gets a response from Google:
"Google Maps is one of the products still under review--in particular since the government recently announced new mapping regulations that we also need to take into account," a Google spokesperson said in an e-mail. "We hope to reach a conclusion on this soon; until then, we will continue to operate ditu.google.cn in accordance with local Chinese law. As we've said, we are committed to ensuring that our products in China are not censored."
"Government pays for licences after tech giant given free information."
or "How Google’s open-ended maps are embroiling the company in some of the world’s touchiest geopolitical disputes." Features Ogle Earth's coverage of several of these disputes.
No self-respecting paranoid totalitarian regime can be without at least a few underground airfields. Here they are in Google Earth.
