Google Earth now shows real time weather

Google Earth has always been a great tool to explore the world. But now you can use it to explore weather patterns around the globe too. A new update for Google Earth has just been released that projects images of rain, snow and other weather patterns over the areas as it’s actually happening. Unlike the imagery, weather reports are real time. Of course, it wouldn’t make sense to show stale weather information.

To view weather reports you have to first enable the clouds layer, then zoom in to a particular location where it might be raining or snowing. When zooming out from the globe it gives a ~~bird's~~ satellite’s eye view of weather on Earth. When you zoom into the clouds the picture gets more detailed in the form of animation of the rain or snow for that area.

Currently, the weather data is limited to certain geographic areas in North America and Europe. You can see if it’s available in your place by enabling the radar layer.

Another weather software that’s particularly unique is Earth Alert. You might as well take a look while you are at it.

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.
