    /me puts on conspiracy nutter hat.....looks in mirror, making sure its hipster quailty..

    This was not a mistake by Google,this was intentional.

    Google has taken its first step in taking over the world.

    Im sure google is somehow involved with the N Korean shelling of S Korea...N Korea was obviously using google maps.

    Google is the authority on sovereign borders now? That's as bad as "my dog ate my homework."

    Highly doubt it will be bigger than the two combined.
    Its still growing though - and that's true.

    I don't really think I hate the idea of Facebook (definitely not, entrepreneur's dream) but your average Facebook user is what gets to me.

    And average gamer, and average computer user, etc etc.

    Its the average person. FB, games and other things are just attached to that average person who happens to be a dick, ass hole, bitch <insert noun to describe a very unpleasant individual here>. We just associate that person with what ever they may be doing to better pigeon hole them. Aaaaaaanyway that is off topic of the original post. What I am wondering is, is goggle maps just being lazy or is there an actual conspiracy?

    Facebook doesn't sell real products like Microsoft and Google do.

    You kinda don't have to in order to be worth a whole lot of money.

    BUT that's beside the point.
