Yea, you need textures for it to look better.

You can, but it's not the best system to actually render things in.

You can't see them in the flight simulator? Man, that sucks.
But it's still cool to see the 3D models as you're browsing around Google Earth.

Anyone can put them up at GE? So you can see frozen Velociraptors at the North Pole or somthing?

You can upload models to Google Earth, but for other people to see them I believe they have to be verified and checked first - by the community. I think so anyway.

So (nearly) everytime you start GE he downloads new models?

You can choose to see 3D models or not, and I think they are streamed to you. When you zoom in close enough into a location that has them, they usually appear as geometrical blocks first and then the textures are sent.

As awesome as that would be, you're gonna need quite a bit of cash to do something like that. Especially if you want it in 3D. The software will have to be top-notch as it'd need to calculate geometry and then cut-and-paste the correct texture from pictures.

You can use Google's computing power already now. They have the Google App Engine, you can deploy applications written in Python (soon to support other languages) onto their cloud.
And Cloud Computing is the future!

No, cloud computing is a computing paradigm. Where companies essentially set up a host of servers that can be accessed and used by others. The "cloud" in this sense probably refers back to old network diagrams and the fact that the user just puts in input and receives output, they have no idea what happens in the cloud.

You won't if your arm doesn't get severed off or amputated or something...
