Did Microsoft Wipe Apple Off the Map? | |

As software rivals, Microsoft wants to wipe Apple Computer off the map. With Microsoft's new Web service for satellite photographs, did the world's largest software company find a way to do exactly that? Internet sleuths discovered that anyone using Microsoft's new "Virtual Earth" Web site for a bird's-eye view of Apple's corporate headquarters saw only a grainy overhead photograph of what appears to be a single, nondescript warehouse and a deserted parking lot - not Apple's sprawling campus, with 11 modern buildings surrounding a plush courtyard. | ||

| In other news, the USGS images that Mircrosoft is using are years old dating back into the early 90's. I wonder if this image is one that was taken before there was a sprawling campus and plush courtyard, or is it more likely that Microsoft decided to change the United States Geological Survey images...yeah...yeah I bet thats it, because it would benefit them how? |
