Most home or commercial building wiring uses 3 prong power outlets. One of the pins on a plug SHOULD be the ground/earth wire.
If the power cable was created properly, the computer should be properly grounded (earthed) when it is connected to the main power through that plug...
HOWEVER
If there is any doubt as to whether your power outlet has a built in ground connection, you can connect a single (12 GA or 14 GA) wire to an iron or copper pipe in the home or drive a grounding rod into the ground outside the home and connect the wire to that. Run the wire to the computer and place a crimp-on lug to the end of the wire, then connect it to the computer chassis using one of the screws on the back of the computer.

What are objects on earth attracted to the earth but not to each other?
This is technically not true. All forms of mass exert gravitational attraction on one another. However, since the Earth is billions of times more massive than most objects, the gravitational force of the Earth is commonly seen. The gravitational force between a stapler and a computer monitor is not large enough to make the two objects fly across a room to get to one another. However, both do exert a gravitational attraction on one another.
What rocks are used to make a computer?
Computers are made up of various components, but the primary material used is silicon. Silicon is a chemical element found in abundance in the Earth's crust, and it is processed into a highly purified form called silicon wafers. These wafers are the base material for manufacturing computer chips which form the core of electronic devices.

Will 'Google Earth 6' Harm your Computer?
Google Earth is a graphics intensive application. If you run Google Earth concurrently with a number of other applications that consume large amounts of memory and/or video driver resources then your computer will run slowly. In some situations running Google Earth in that scenario could lockup/freeze your computer (e.g. Blue-Screen-of-Death) but concurrently running any combination of graphics intensive applications or computer games could in fact crash a computer. Similarly, if you plugin in an air conditioner, power-saw, and HD TV all running on the same outlet in your home then likely you're going to blow a circuit. Same as running applications like Google Earth with other like applications at the same time. If running Google Earth makes things run slowly then you have the option to exit the other applications and run Google Earth alone or install more memory on the computer.
