The brilliant search engine itself...

Google Maps - [URL]http://www.google.com/maps[/URL]
Google Videos - [URL]http://video.google.com/[/URL]

Granted, the these two do only really reflect better in America, but the concepts are really really cool. Check out the maps feature - you can even view satallite images of the places you look for, it's insane!

Brilliant new email service, over 2GB of storage.

Pretty cool desktop application, 10x better then the crap you get with Windows

Excellent if you are looking for snippets of information, especially for things computing related, there is a lot of stuff out there.

Cool shopping thing.

It's amazing to be honest, I remember when google was just a wee search engine, now its a completely different empire in itself.

Bets on when GoogleOS comes out then?

I've found Sea World, I can't find Disney anywhere though! I think it might be in that block of 'we haven't got these photos' squares...

Follow the map to the left topwards the Cenotaph (down the straight looking bit) and the pentagon is just across the river (left and slightly down). Took me ages to find it, had to use a photo fromn the pentagon website to find a reference point. It's just up and to the right of the airport.

Where's the Pentagon in relation to the White House? That's all I can find :(

Ah, and where's Mount Rushmore?
