Re: Macs and fileshares.
SMB2 is still slow on OSX 10.8.2.
WIn7 read large iso >60MB/s read, OSX 10.8.2 35MB/s. Writes are ~10MB/s OSX, >60MB/s W7.

US satellite returns first hi-res snap

ahh, but dont they currently use planes?
The current high-res imagery google uses is mostly from planes flying over and capturing strips of landscape. This is obvously very costly for a big country, hence why in the USA only major cities are in high res.
High(ish) resolution satellite imagery allows details mapping of very large areas of land quickly (and more cheaply) than flying planes over each km of land.
Now they could map the whole of the North america continent, (about 24,486,305 km²) or even other continents at a higher resolution.
