No, it's not the name of something that Google just bought: it's software. Google Earth is like Google Satellite Maps on steroids. You can get satellite views, zoom closer and farther, and fly from one location to another. You can search for restaurants, hotels, and other businesses and landmarks. There's a cool 3D view that lets you tilt and rotate what you're seeing. It's only on Windows for now, so if you're running Windows, go get your free copy. Be prepared to sink half a day or so into playing with it.
