That vote for no was a mistake.
I am typing this on a touch.
I can't wait for new Google apps.
I am sure many other people here share my excitement over all the attention Apple users are finally getting. It is hard to believe it has really only been a few years now that we have been enjoying more attention.
Ok that's about all of the little virtual keyboard I can take for now, LOL

Google could make Google Earth Mac more Mac like. Include better ways to handle dozens of tracks.
Allow sets of selected overlays. There is no easy to turn on or off selected overlays. I may have some mountain biking specific overlays; I have to select (and remember them) one at at time from dozens of choices.
There are many similar oddities. Exporting is harder than it needs to be.
Not to take away from what's been done for the Mac users, but there is significant room for improvement.

Agreed. Google Earth is certainly un-Mac-ish, but look at all their products that have come up more recently. MacFuse is brilliant, their iPhoto exporter is a great idea, and, best and most importantly, the original developer of Quicksilver works there.
Give it time; they're doing a great job. Let Microsoft users get Yahoo, and let us get Google.

I read it, but then I'm a bit of a Google products junkie...
For those of us who use Macs for small business (some creative, but also general biz stuff), many of Goog's solutions are top notch, and make it possible for teams to collaborate while traveling and w/out messing with IT-managed solutions. And most are free.
I can't live without SketchUp in my work...free or not, it's got features that even high-end 3D apps don't have. Google Apps, Docs, GMaps, the list goes on. I don't mind the long article.
It's cool to hear about how Google's changing the workplace, too (20% time and all that), and succeeding.
