RevWatch – Google Earth, Firefox, Chrome, and Backtrack Beta 4

Google has released an updated version of Google Earth (5.0.11337.1968). The update includes a host of new features including

Google Oceans – The ocean floor is not a 3D terrain instead of the previous 2D map, you can even see wave motions, and now you can fly below the ocean as well.
Google Mars – The mars imagery has been added into Google Earth and it has a serious cool factor attached.
Record Tour Mode – This is a cool feature that allows you to record a guided tour and share it via a .kmz file.
Historical Imagery – This is my favorite feature of the set. Zoom into any area and then click the Historical Imagery icon in the top toolbar to see older imagery of the location. This is a time sink if I’ve ever seen one.

Firefox has released version 3.0.6. 69 bug fixes, 26 of which are rated critical. No major features added.

Google Chrome has released an update. Current version is now 1.0.154.48. Some minor bug fixes and a security patches. No major features added.

Backtrack Beta 4 release imminent. Backtrack is one of the premier linux live cd pentesting platforms and they have announced that they will released BT beta 4 to the public after shmoocon.
