Florian: Man... that's an old, and I mean OLD, screenshot for Mac XEarth. It looks like early System 7. And the download page mentions needing a 680x0 with an FPU, which means XEarth is pre-PowerPC. Wow.Anyhow, the link is kind of cool, but I'm not gonna dig it. I have a general idea as to where the Sun is shinging by just knowing what time it currently is.
Various questions:Why do I care?Why is this even on Digg?How does this even come remotely close to qualifying as tech news?Sorry, minorly interesting at best, doesn't qualify for Digg.
The clouds suck... Would atleast be semi-cool if they actually used a image without the clouds since it looks goofy at the mask edge. And the clouds hide features of the planet...
