Side note: does anyone know what visualization tool was used for the dropbox-client-data-traffic-globe-thing video? I've seen that same visualization all over Google's campus in various buildings showing the location of their searches. Is it an open-source visualization library?

Check http://processing.org .. This globe seems to be one of the first data visualizations used in several projects. Here's a cool one that uses Flickr geotagging info: http://www.flickr.com/photos/revdancatt/3398050524/

I'm really curious about this as well.
