When did Google start showing physical locations on their maps?

[SunnyD]

For example:

Okay, don't mind me, I'm going to crawl back under my rock now...:sneaky:

 

[gorcorps]

*shrugs* They've been adding them gradually for a little while now.

 

[darkxshade]

Walmarts a bakery?

 

[Eli]

In other news, when does Google officially change its name to SkyNet?

 

[thepd7]

[Crono]

I don't know. I use Google Earth almost exclusively, though, and businesses are labeled by option. I love the 3D buildings of Manhattan.

Officially: End of 2011.

But their terahertz satellite network has been codenamed that for quite some time now, since they upgraded them with masers.

[darkxshade]

[ViviTheMage]

I trust me, so you should trust me

[darkxshade]

I'm not impressed... in fact I think it has turned me off to all things FF :sneaky:

 

[ViviTheMage]

nooooo

 

[SunnyD]

As do I. Unfortunately I can't pull out the old school one with the casting animation either.

And I've been a black mage since the day they enabled custom avatars anyway. I will admit, your snuck yours in first though and it reminded me to update mine.

 

[ViviTheMage]

oh, I was waiting to pull mine out.

I had it ready and was waiting to use it. I JUST tweaked it so it doesn't look like a block of crap.

Yeah, i have that animated picture too.

 

[Gunbuster]

When did they start auto blurring plates and faces? I want to print out a giant cardboard licence plate, attach it to the side of my car and drive around next to the street view car to f' with them.

I must be spending too much time on ATOT, because I totally read that wrong

 

[lifeobry]

I think the guy with the FF username wins this round of who deserves a FF avatar more.
