Google Maps added the New York City subways to their mapping system yesterday. Take that Mapquest, Yahoo Maps, HopStop, and all you MTA cronies. Now you can choose between driving directions or public transit directions, utilizing the friendly red flags to demarcate where're are headed. Google has over 70 public transportation systems available online, including Chicago, Tokyo, San Francisco, and Montreal.
I think the following video is indicative to how God created the Earth. He spun it around, zoomed in, a river here, a fjord there, and then presto, we have a Google Earth.

For the next three nights, the cyber-Gods over at Google are hosting an art event in New York's Meatpacking District to celebrate their new iGoogle application. Google commissioned over 70 artists—Jeff Koons, Philippe Starck, and Diane Von Furstenberg among them—to design their own unique iGoogle themes, which will be presented "in a very unique way" throughout the Gansevoort Plaza. (We tried to Google what "unique" really means in relation to the Google event, but our computer had a stroke.) The installation gets underway tonight at 8-ish p.m.
