Ultra cool...kinda looks like the country has grown hair when it stops loading. I might have to upgrade my browser...

Sounds like you're looking at a static image? You describe what it looks like on my Kindle. On my desktop it is realtime animated.

   Yeah Bob...That's why I mentioned updating my browser. It's all cool and groovy uploading to a point then it just looks like...well it looks like a country covered in hair. Unfortunately for me my Mac is just old enough...OS X 10.5.8 that it doesn't support the latest Firefox upgrade so I may be looking for a new browser...or just suffering until I can upgrade my OS. And seeing as you mentioned it...just got a Kindle Fire about a month ago, mostly to have interweb access while away from home for work. What a great unit, I couldn't be happier.
