How to Boot Chrome OS from USB?

This version of the Google operating system will be run off a USB drive, so naturally you will need a USB storage device of some type. The image file size is 2,988,442,112 bytes, so we recommend at least a 4GB drive and preferably 8GB of storage space. The files on the USB drive that you have should be backed up if you need them as they will be deleted during this process.

Adjusting natural elevation appearance in Google Earth

While panning terrain on google earth one feels that earth looks very flat, and it doesn't give a real feel of the elevation of the region. To set it right get a natural elevation set the Elevation Exaggeration setting to 1.5. The value more than this and limited by 3, would make elevation to appear more pronounced.

To do this, click Tools > Options > 3D View from the Tools menu (for the Mac, choose Google Earth > Preferences > 3D View) and change the Elevation Exaggeration figure. You can set it to any value from 1 to 3, including decimal points.
