It appears that [Google](http://www.google.com) has a launch frenzy for Mac OS X these days. Last week they released [Google Video Player](http://video.google.com/playerdownload), a video player for watching videos downloaded from [Google Video](http://video.google.com/). I can’t say I have found the great usefulness of this app yet, but maybe it will come to me later. Yesterday, they released a couple of other goodies, including an update to [Google Earth](http://earth.google.com/) for Mac and [Google SketchUp](http://sketchup.google.com/) for Mac. The latest release of Google Earth features integration with SketchUp (which Google purchased a while ago, and this is the first Google branded version of this app since the purchase), and as such I decided to download that too and try it out.
I must say though, is it really necessary to emphasize _(Free)_ as much as they do during installation? Take a look at the screenshot below, and see how many times they actually state that it is free…
