Google owned by Dr Evil

OK…so Google Maps have been around for a bit and frankly Cherryflava didn’t really care much for the latest from the web’s biggest brand, because they’ve only mapped the US.
That is until we read and explored a couple of the features highlighted in this great Commentary post. Do yourself a favour and go check out some of the landmarks Wayne has kindly put together.
This got us thinking though….it is illegal to take photographs on the New York city subway system due to terrorism fears…but with Google Maps, every stitch of the US is visible in real time with satellite imagery for everybody to see.
That’s like the cheapest and easiest Dr Evil tool ever invented.
