Here's recent Google-related geonews. Google added World World II historical imagery to Google Earth: "Images taken in 1943 show the effect of wartime bombing on more than 35 European towns and cities. Imagery for Warsaw, which was heavily destroyed at the time, is available from both years 1935 and 1945." Here's another entry specifically for Warsaw.

The ocean seafloor in Google Earth got updated with new high resolution DEMs. There is a new Ocean Showcase launched that uses the Google Earth plugin. There's an offline installer for Google Earth and updates to the 3D Warehouse and Building Maker. Here's a climate change tour of cold places. There's work to add Google Earth imagery to Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Finally, Google Maps for Mobile adds places and searches syncing capabilities.
