The launch of the GeoEye-1 satellite by GeoEye (formerly Orbital Imaging Corporation or ORBIMAGE), a commercial satellite imagery company based in Dulles, Virginia, marks the coming of higher resolution maps in the internet.
Until now there has only been maps of commercial imagery 60 cm, but with GeoEye-1, google will get details of objects of size 50 cm (though the satellite can get 41 cm images). Thus we will be getting clearer maps of the places around us.

After using IE, Avant, Mozilla, Opera and Google Chrome, I found this browser – GreenBrowser.
It looks like it has features unique from the other ones. Obviously it doesn’t have features exclusive to certain browsers like Firefox’s Quick find or Avant’s gestures. But it do have URL Alias, Proxy settings, One click save, Open link in new window mode, Easy access button and much more which I haven’t even explored. It has its own home page that has links to almost any website that you may use.
