Google Earth New Layer

An interesting layer added from Google Earth shows you news from the NY Times. The new feature mentions a certain place, even thought you can hide the layer. Google Earth updates the layer every 15 minutes. "The New York Times offers geo-coded news, and Google Earth offers the platform for reading that news in a 3D browser"(Google LatLong Blog).
