Now Google may argue you can't expect more from freeware - while their machines are busy perfecting my user-profile in order to cram even more targeted ads into my web browser.
Valid point or not, rather show no images than 3 year old ones and display a notice "no recent image available."

Today, we're introducing a new way of rendering imagery that smoothes out this quilt of images. The end result is a beautiful new Earth-viewing experience that preserves the unique textures of the world's most defining geographic landscapes-without the quilt effect. This change is being made on both mobile and desktop versions of Google Earth
Other additions to Google earth include the ability to share your explorations with Google+ and improvements to search which include a streaminlined visual design, autocomplete, layers, and biking, transit, and walking directions.

Google Earth is an unstable mess. I keep checking for updates that address this crap and nothing. Deleted cache, didn't fix it. Deleted the app, didn't fix it. If I have to delete my plist and lose the hundreds of placemarks I've carefully made over the years to get this piece of crap to work, then I'm just not going to use it anymore.

In short, there is currently no way to get the Internet Plugin installed onto a case-sensitive volume.

Selecting "view for more information" in a placemark will open a browser window right in Google Earth BUT after doing this, clicking "back to Google Earth" consistenty causes a spectacular crash.

But it's sad that we need to do that, instead of Google doing the right thing and stop with this nonsense.
What else do they need to finally realize that most of us don't like the idea of giving them full access to our computers??

Before installing, in ~/Library/Google/
Create a locked GoogleSoftwareUpdate folder and that's it, Google Update will never be able to put it's spyware in here anymore.
just like here http://www.mac4ever.com/images/images_actu/47398_744_astuce_faire_taire_google_update.png
If it has already installed before, just do the steps has described in MacOS X hints to uninstall Google Update and then do my my trick and that's it.
here is a screen capture i made after installing Google Desktop, it has been perfectly installed excepting Google Update http://www.mac4ever.com/images/images_actu/47398_224_astuce_faire_taire_google_update.png
For those who can read French, i put it there http://www.mac4ever.com/news/47398/astuce_faire_taire_google_update/

Note that your system doesn't even meet the minimum requirements. That's why it's running SLOW. I'm surprised you got it to work at all.

Why be surprised it runs at all, when his only deviation from the stated requirements is a slower clock?
While Apple is currently linking and referring to v5.0, I found they are still listing it with v4.3 system requirements, which I reproduce here:
System Requirements
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
500MHz PowerPC G3 processor or higher
400MB hard disk space
16MB video RAM
1024 x 768 screen resolution (32-bit color)
Broadband Internet connection
Significant jump in the CPU requirement for v5.0.
I found v4.3 usable in a pinch, but far from silky smooth on a 900MHz G3 iBook.
Google Updater isn't seeing the Google Earth v4.3 on it at all, so it isn't recommending an upgrade. Google Earth itself, however, reports that there is an "Optional Update" to 5.0.11337.1968, which, with a version number like that, I may just have to try.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

I have spent days reading and following varied advise in forums on how to make it work but it seems that nothing is working. So finally I would like to ask if there is still any chance of making it work before I finally ditch it and let it R.I.P.
