Google Earth browser plug-in arrives for Mac

Google has released a Mac OS X version of a browser plug-in for its Google Earth software.
The move means a small but significant number of users can now rely on web pages that employ the sophisticated aerial-viewing options that the software provides. But Mac users should brace themselves for a 47MB download from the Google Earth API page.
The size is large because Google provides a universal binary file that runs on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs, a Google representative said in a forum posting about the availability of the Mac version. "There are also some other space-saving changes that we may look into later on," he said, adding that Google plans to mention the software in a forthcoming blog post.
