quote [ Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator for Windows. It runs whenever you're logged on and updates your wallpaper with an accurate representation of the Earth as it would be seen from space at that precise moment. ]
Sucks up about 7 meg of memory and is beautiful. Take the whole "as it would be seen from space" thing with a grain of salt, given the whole lack of roundness aspect. Thumb is the author's depiction of current ocean travel. Watch for dragons!

And so, they sailed off into the ledgers of history, one by one, the financial capitals of the world crumbling under the might of their business acumen,... or so it would have been... if certain modern theories concerning the shape of the world had not proved to be... disastrously wrong. |

It's fun to charter an accountant And sail the wide accountancy, To find, explore the funds offshore And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy! It can be manly in insurance. We'll up your premium semi-annually. It's all tax deductible. We're fairly incorruptible, We're sailing on the wide accountancy! |

I posted about this a little while ago. Although the linked apps were different back then. Anyway, the originator of all this Earth desktop stuff was xplanet. |
