Google has released Google Earth 1.1 for Froyo, however, it does not appear in the market for many.

PS. I can't believe how fast Google includes my blog posts in their search engine, they are almost directly linked! This page is searchable in Google after minutes of creation!

There is a convinent keyboard shortcut key in browsers which I use many times daily. When entering a URL, http://www and .com will be automatically inserted to the URL by pressing Ctrl-Enter. For example, when you want to go to http://www.google.com, you just have to key in google followed by Ctrl-Enter.

However, I find it frustrating when I use a non-English Windows OS ie. Chinese, IE takes me to .com.tw instead. It is not a problem when I go to google, but when I want to go to sites like facebook, it won't work because www.facebook.com.tw simply don't exist.

So here's my "How to change IE6/IE7/IE8 Ctrl-Enter's behaviour?" guide.

Open Regedit and naivgate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar Create a new key (機碼) named "QuickComplete" Under QuickComplete, create a string value (字串值) named "QuickComplete" For example if you want it to add http://www. in front and .com at the back when you press Ctrl-Enter, you can fill it the following: http://www.%s.com
