Comments on: Google offers first looks at GeoEye-1 imagery

Google, which is buying GeoEye's high-resolution imagery for online maps, is starting to offer a taste of images from the company's newest satellite.

I'd be happy if these online digital mapping concerns would improve their address matching.

Nice. Though it took only two posts for someone to go negative and off-topic.

i was kind of disapointed, i went to barcelona wich is supposed to be enhanced with this new images, just to realize that the new pictures have lower resolution than the ones taken before, if you dont think im right you can go to barcelona and compare pictures before and the new wich have a little bit of green. i dont doubt this new satellite is superior in technology but maybe when those pictures were taken was not working in it best resolution

I don't understand. This story is about GeoEye and how great the images are from their new satellite. However, both images used in the story are clearly labeled (C) DigitalGlobe - which is a competitor of GeoEye. Whose images are they?
