Today’s Picks are just too good, so let’s jump right in.
- Researchers used Google Earth to study the alignment of 8510 cows around the world and discovered they tend to align themselves with Earth’s north-south magnetic fields. Sounds udderly ridiculous to me!
- Maybe a better use of Google Earth from Olympic gold medallist Kristin Armstrong. She used Google Earth to help her train for the varying elevations in China.
- Mozilla has announced Ubiquity–a new browser interface that brings useful information to your fingertips.
- Two internet security researchers demonstrate just how easy it is for hackers to intercept your web activity.
- Who spent the most money on internet display ads in June? That would be Microsoft. The top display ad publisher for the same period? Fox Interactive Media.
- Google Ad Manager has left beta. Actually, it’s still in beta, but at least now everyone can sign-up for it.

Maybe microsoft should now spend some advertising budget by printing their ads on the back of those cows. People are watching them with google earth right as we speak
