I think it is totally cool that someone at Apple snuck this in, but I think some people might be slightly over reacting to this. A lot of other websites have picked up on this and are touting it has heralding a great Google & Apple tie in. But it's not like it's the first time that Apple have done something with Google anyway. Safari? That search box? Anyone?

I can think of some great ways for iPhoto to work with Google Maps/Earth, but I don't think Apple are there yet.
