I'm Flattered, But...
2006-02-10 • Hints & Tips
I recently blogged about a hack to the Google Earth application to let you use Microsoft Entourage as your mail client (I got lot's of mail about this - thanks for your expressions of appreciation!).

Well, Google just released a new version of the Macintosh Google Earth application, and it includes a preference setting to use Entourage Happy

Yes, that's great, thanks Google for making this accessible.

However, I dug a little deeper...

They have exposed this preference setting that runs a seperate script to the script for Mail.app, and guess what is in that script? Yes, the exact same script I posted in my hack - even the variable names are the same.

It's nice to be appreciated in this way. It would be nicer to be acknowledged as well.

[Update 11th Feb - Google sent me an email to apologise, and added an attribution in the Keyhole BBS (and will add it to the next release). Thanks, Google for doing the right thing.]
