When is Google-Earth going to start using its new satellite technology?

Q. I heard google bought a new satellite or something so you can see anything "bigger than a shopping bag" with amazing clarity. When is this going to be implemented?

A. I do not actually know but I am all against Google Earth. It invades everyone's privacy. It's like having a big black van outside your house monitoring you

How can I stop Google from showing a location under the search bar?
Q. Google has started displaying a location under the search bar to the left. There's an option to change the location, or to let Google auto-detect, but I don't want a location displayed at all. How do I stop Google from showing what it thinks is my location under the search bar on the left?

A. You need to add something.

USE this:
http://www.google.com/ncr

It won't redirect and it will go to www.google.com
You can save this URL on your default homepage in your browser.

How gets Google the ideas of their employees?
Q. I read that the people at Google can use a part of their working time not for their normal work but to be creative and to invent new ideas during that time. How does the leadership of Google then gets to know this ideas?
Do the people put these ideas into the intranet, where it can be judged by the colleagues. Or is their a committee of some people, which collects the ideas and evaluates them. Or is it quite different?

A. Google encourages their employees to spend 20 percent of their time working on ideas they feel will be most beneficial to Google.

Based on Google's lavish employee benefits (i.e. free food, tuition reimbursement, back-up child care, etc.), employees whose ideas become reality most likely get generous compensation. Additionally, they get notoriety and a good shot at a promotion.

I also noticed, while reviewing Google patents, that all contributing employees names appear to be listed.
