Panoramio is a website based in Spain that links millions of photos with the exact geographical location where they were taken. (Our FAQ has all the details.)
Panoramio is a community photos website that enables digital photographers to geo-locate, store and organize their photographs — and to view those photographs in Google Earth. Other users can search and browse Panoramio photos and suggest edits to the metadata associated with the photos. Panoramio also offers an API that enables web developers to embed Panoramio functionality into their websites.
Those of you already using Google Earth have no doubt noticed Panoramio’s striking images documenting settings from all over the world, like moonscapes in Croatia, dramatic sunsets in Australia, and innovative architecture in the United Arab Emirates.
We’ve been working with Panoramio for some time — its photos have been a default layer in Google Earth since the beginning of the year. This layer will remain in place as our teams work together toward further integrating this amazing content, generated by many, into our mapping technologies.

Ars Technica cita las palabras de un directivo de Microsoft en las cuales explicó que las futuras versiones de Windows estarán muy orientadas a utilizar los procesadores multi-núcleo.
Ty Carlson explicó en unas conferencias en San Diego que las versiones venideras de sus sistemas operativos aprovecharán la potencia que ofrecerán las próximas generaciones de microprocesadores.
“Veréis hasta 8, 16, y hasta 64 o más núcleos por máquina cliente”, dijo Carlson, director de la estrategia técnica de Microsoft. “Windows Vista”, añadió, “fue diseñado para uno, dos o incluso 4 procesadores”.
Así que ya sabéis: podeís ir apostando por la programación multihilo, porque ese es el futuro según todos los indicios, no sólo los que acaba de dar Microsoft. La propia Intel apoyaba este tipo de desarrollos ayer mismo.
