Google Earth/Mac: second beta

Though you wouldn't know it from the download page, there's now a second beta of Google Earth for the Mac, mostly a bug-fix release. It feels to me as if they improved the performance a little, and street labels behave a little better, though many bugs remain and it's not substantially different in appearance.

There have also been some recent imagery and data improvements on the back end; Google Earth is once again ahead of Google Local in some places.

As reported on Google's blog, both Local and Earth now have extensive maps and imagery for the area around Torino, in celebration of the Olympics.
