For Chrome users, you might want to check out this experimental multimedia presentation of HTML5 capabilities.

This multimedia presentation makes use of Google Maps street view satellite photos of your address combined seamlessly with the audio, vector animation rendering, video, and user-triggered scripting capabilities of HTML5. The flock of birds will scatter if you mouse over them.

I'm liking the well-integrated look and feel of this much better than good old flash and swf.

i'm scared of google these days. i know privacy is dead but i just can't let myself capitulate completely. i have gmail and use their calendar a bit and the search engine of course but no chrome or google+ for me. at least with facebook, it's a competing company so i figure fb & google have a bunch of my data but not all of it.

It *is* scary. Go incognito at least for any browser you use. I don't use Google+ or Gmail either.
