The latest works on my machines. One is 10.6.8 MacBook Pro, one is 10.8.3, mini. Are you using the same installer on both or did you d/l them separate?
Odd that you have the same problem on two machines.

On the Google Earth Forums, there are several posts about this problem. I dl'd 6.2 and installed that and all is well. It is, apparently, something that Google has broken which may be related to the GMA950 graphics chip since both of my Minis have that chip.
For anyone else having this problem, here is the download page for older Earth versions:

The plot thickens:
Google Earth 6 places the Google Earth Web Plug-in in root/Library/Internet Plug-ins.
GE 7 places it in User/Library/Internet Plug-ins.
Looking at my Console System Log, GE 7 is having trouble determining which plug-in to use.
Even more interesting: Seems to be a call JAVA applet error which the JAVA Security update may have closed that down.
System Log output for GE 7 launch:
