Google Adds Climate-Change-Predicting Layers to Google Earth [Environment]
Google has teamed up with the British Government to create a couple of really interesting new environmental layers to Google Earth based on climate change estimates for the next century or so.
The first layer, produced from the data supplied by the Hadley Centre depicts CO2 concentrations spanning from November 1999 forward to October 2099. Along the time line, annotated place markers pop up to provide information on the impact of global climate change for specific regions and links to external resources on the topic.The layers are available now if you're interested in finding out just how screwed we'll all be without sunscreen in a few years.

The layer is covered with dates of specific discoveries and documents the retreats of 10 different ice shelves.

Still there's a litany of proto-Luke Skywalker quality cyborg parts out there that are pretty good, ugly: 
Guitar Hero World Tour is now official for a Fall of 2008 release thanks to a press release making it so. As our friends at Kotaku have pointed out, the big most innovative aspect of the game is the Music Stuido feature that will allow users to create and share original music, essentially making the Guitar Hero guitar the real instrument everyone hoped it could be. Other than that, we can expect the rumored electronic drum kit, newly redesigned guitar and a microphone along with the standard gameplay upgrades. For the full scoop, check out the press release after the break. And hit the Kotaku link for more screenshots.
