Nah, that's just the FedEx Forum they built here to replace the Pyramid Arena. It's now the home of the Memphis Grizzlies & several awesome concerts...a few minutes walk away from Beale St. for your alcoholic pleasure. Anybody wanna come visit? :) The actual FedEx WorldHQ is on the other side of town, but I think I've advertised enough for them for one day.

*cough* 35 Glenlake Pkwy NE, 30328 *cough*
UPS WHQ...Now I feel better
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

DOes anybody else find the zoom sequence rather dizzying to watch? :D

lol yeah it's really disorientating.
Especially when there is only land on the screen, ya have no perspective to judge how far away from the ground you are.

When zooming i can never resist shouting "Arrghhhh!" and pretending i have fallen out of a plane..

I'm impressed with the speed I'm able to look around the earth with such detail (terrain, roads, places of intrest, ect..) considering my puny laptop & DSL line. :shock:

Oh to be the guy who manages to realize the pickup line to be had from this. :lol:
Why yes, yes I am.

The red circle is me, and the green circle is "White hart lane, the world famous home of the Spurs" as the guy at the begining of the matches says.
I can hear the crowd on match days.
