Starting on Monday, December 24th, at 1 am PST, you can watch Santa Claus fly making his yearly world round trip. Thanks to NORAD and partners Google, AGI, Verizon, Booz Allen Hamilton, Official Santa Mail, GlobeLink, Qwest, Avaya, Plantronics, First Choice Awards & Gifts, Meshbox, E-Frontier, and Santa's Workshop, several hundred of Santa's stops in over 200 countries and territories will be available online. The video footage will be embedded on Google Maps, viewable at the NORAD Tracks Santa YouTube channel. NORAD will also provide a downloadable Santa Tracker file to track several thousand of Santa's stops in Google Earth. Finally, a way to see how Saint Nick pulls it all off in just one night!

I HATE YOU!!!!!
Still, the text of the article makes it sound like Google are wholly responsible for enabling NORAD to do this; when in fact NORAD have done fine without their help for the last 50 years, in one form or another.
Um this is nothing for NORAD... they track hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk some smaller then the size of a quarter... they can have some fun too every once and a while... maybe you should try to have some too..

huh? They did this for years now... and what do you mean fail? its just a site for kids to look at
jeeezs.
350 miles per hour, per second? Yeah, that really makes sense, y'know?
Dude, it's just something fun for kids... Quit trying to ruin their fun.
santa can slow down time
Wow someone obviously doesn't have kids......
I remember watching the news with the Norad updates when I was younger and they had a hokie cutout of Santa and his reindeer over a map of the world showing where he was.
It's quite sad how some of you have lost all sense of fun. Do you remember being a kid?
Even as a kid I knew Santa Claus was a lie.

Enjoy your therapy.
It's a huge waste of time, but a brilliantly done one. Thank you, Mr American Tax Payer, you've made my day!
And to those complaining about tax money being spent for it:
So, how do we do it? The NTS program is funded through generous contributions from our sponsors. Everything from computer servers, web site design, video imaging, Santa's tracking map, and the toll free telephone number, to the souvenir Santa Tracker buttons volunteers are presented on Christmas Eve, companies, corporations and individual sponsors, or what we like to call Partners, bring this program to children around the world.
But, if you really want headlines here that will start a war of idiots, start it off with "Santa buys a Mac, dumps Vista because of countless BSODs!"

p.s: looks like he skipped over USA, he saw gas prices.
He sure didn't forget to stop in Iraq.
