One more reason to hold them in contempt. Suppressing
information, *shock*

just up and to the left of that.. it looks like microsoft is
using an old satellite image, while the buildings are just
entering construction or something

If google did that it'd be funny, when microsoft does it
it's a conspiracy.

you're right - there is a conspiracy against that great and
noble company, Microsoft, who haven't fucked over anyone
ever and are committed to doing charidy work for altruistic
purposes.

Bill Gates, a world apologises.

I think what you've found is known as an 'easter egg'.

Isn't an easter egg a bonus feature rather than something
missing?

I thought of it as simply a hidden feature.

yes those microsoft photos are from a much earlier time
period

omg so hard to believe

google is only going to be updating once every 18months or
so; and even then in the popular places

you guys have way too much time

Have a gander at New York and you'll see the Twin Towers are
still there. Yay!

What's the hidden feature? I'm sorry but I don't seem to
know to what you were referring in your first post... The
lack of the Apple building is the Easter Egg? Or that Google
has it?
