Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Doesn't look like my mother was home when Google came by. Can't tell about my father, since he parks in the carport. There's a spot in the front lawn that doesn't make any sense -- I wonder if it's a person and their shadow?

If only the spot in the front lawn were the only part of my life that didn't make sense.

I love Google Earth.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I don't know about elsewhere in the world but the images used of Adelaide are over 18 months old. I found the Stud Adult Bookshop and they still haven't started the roadworks on Valiant Road that were finished well over 12 months ago.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The image of my workplace is at least that old, because since then a huge ass warehouse was built behind us.

Something you should know about Google Earth (beta)... Google Earth is a broadband, 3D application that not all computers can run.
Apple Macintosh computers are not supported at this time (but we are working on it). Windows-based desktop PCs older than 4 years old may not be able to run it. Windows-based notebook PCs older than 2 years old may not be able to run it.

We recently upgraded our office Mac to Tiger, which had the unfortunate side-effect of breaking both FCP and DVD Studio Pro. (FCP no longer recognizes the firewire, and DVDSP crashes whenever you open a project, or import an asset.)
Is there any way to just restore the system to its pre-Tiger status?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Unless you made a backup of the system before upgrading, I think you're SOL.
One piece of advice I can give is to never do an upgrade when installing a new version of Mac OS X, always use the "archive and install" or "clean install" options.
In fact, if you can still save everything off of the system that you need, and redo a clean installation of Tiger, you might find that FCP and DVD Studio Pro will work fine.

The problem is that since we have this machine as part of our promotional partnership with Apple, it's not officially ours to mess around with. It's Apple's, on loan to us. So since Apple sent it to us with 10.3, and then sent us a 10.4 upgrade DVD, that's what we have.
We also don't have the install discs for FCP or DVDSP.
I suspect the fixing of this will have to be done via calling Apple and saying "Thank you for the free computer, now please send us installation discs that won't break things."
