Okay, Might as well post this here, Microsoft's version of Google Earth, but puts buildings in cities 3d, not all places are 3d and yea, but it was released yesterday as beta but it is cool ;)

http://local.live.com then click on 3d and Hybrid.
Los Angeles(takes a couple seconds to load the buildings, and it eventually loads all buildings in your screen but takes a while o_o)

Well, they can only take so many photos of the earth in a given time. They are taking photos constantly and it still takes forever, years even, to go around the earth. The photos around my house are about 5 years old heh heh.
