Okay. Keeping this constructive I'd suggest you don't drag politics into a post about software; you've just turned off half your readers. Greenies? Okay.

And, fortunately or otherwise, I can point you at a couple of examples of a better 'teaser' for the globe than the static image I am sure you have taped to a wall in front of you even now. Take a trip to Seattle. Visit the Science Fiction Museum (where SciFi is still spelled that way!), and the visitor center at that software giant in Redmond. In both places you can see a 6' version of the globe suspended in front of you. Non-interactive, and projection technology (with some interesting optical challenges to get three or four externally projected images to meet without distortion), however able to display not only this planet - but others - and information about them. The Fed Search and even real-time information element is definitely not there, but the display medium is a 'stop and stare' sight once you realize what is being done. I am sure there are others, but I came across these two in one day (plus numerous MS surfaces), and it was an experience. This is a really nice vision of a User Interface.
