NBC To Launch Sleuth Channel

NBC is launching Sleuth, a new TV channel highlighting mystery and crime shows. This wouldn’t interest me all that much but for this snippet:

For at least the first couple years, Sleuth’s programming will consist mainly of old reruns in the Universal library, such as Miami Vice, The A-Team and Knight Rider. The movies Scarface, The Jackal and Casino will also be in the mix.

I’m sure that eventually it will be all Law And Order, all the time… ;-p

Maplandia

GoogleTo round out recent Google Maps-related news, Maplandia, a “Google Maps World Gazetteer,” is quite impressive:

Maplandia.com provides the searchable world gazetteer based on Google Maps, the most comprehensive online satellite imagery ever available. More than 2 000 000 places all over the world are divided into many geographical categories according to continents, countries and administrative regions. Coloured region contours, direct Google Earth links and other no elsewhere to find features make exploring the world easy as never before.

Definitely worth a long visit…
