POWER TIP
Winter Games Enhanced
We've updated Google Earth and Google Local with high resolution
imagery of the area surrounding Torino, Italy, home of the 2006 Winter
Games. With Google Earth installed, click on the KMZ file for Olympic
Venues, which will load placemarks for all the major sites at the
Games. To really appreciate the scenery, be sure to enable the Terrain
layer and take advantage of the tilt view control in Google Earth:
We've also generated street maps for Torino, which are available in the
Google Maps API for those of you interested in creating Winter Games
mashups.

http://local.google.com (search on 'Turin' or 'Torino')
This Google Blog post features even more Games-related news:

Google Desktop (beta)
Google Desktop is a free application that now gives you easy access to
information across your computers and from the web. The latest version
allows you to undock Sidebar panels and place them anywhere your
desktop. You can also easily share items from your Sidebar with a
friend, including news, websites, games and more. Use the Search Across
Computers feature to find documents and web pages you've seen on any of
your computers. With Google Desktop, you get personalized information
when you want it, right on your desktop.

Gmail Chat
Now Gmail accounts are automatically enabled with chat features. The
people you already talk to often are just a click away in Quick
Contacts. You don't have to use another program or switch between email
and IM -- it's all on the same Gmail interface. And you don't need to
build a new buddy list or do anything special either--it just works
when you're signed in to Gmail (you can also easily sign out of chat).
See when your friends are online and decide for yourself how you want
to get in touch. We've also made it easy for you to save your chats so
you don't always have to remember whether something important was said
over email or IM. Now you can search for your chats, or print them, or
even reply to a chat using email.

Froogle Personalized Search
We recently integrated Froogle with Personalized Search so that you can
view and manage your history of Froogle searches and the products
you've looked at, just as you already can do with Web Search, Image
Search, and News. Just sign up for Personalized Search and make sure
you're signed in to your Google Account when searching on Froogle.

lists. To request being of this beta test, visit the home page and
