Fun With Google Maps
In a series of articles over the past week, the Register has pointed out some strange things that can be found with Google Maps. First, check out the map of the moon that Google added to its service today in honor of the moon landing anniversary. Zoom in as close as possible and you'll discover an unusual revelation.

image Second, Google maps reveals that there's a building on a military base here in San Diego that's built in the shape of a swastika. Strange, but true. It's not clear why this design was chosen. Probably the architects didn't bother to think about how it would look from the air.

image Finally, Google sleuths have discovered an image of a face that can be seen in some Peruvian sand dunes. Of course, it's already been declared to be the face of Jesus.

I don't know why people have picked up on the "Apple HQ" thing. It's an old photo. Of course the HQ hadn't been built by that point.

I think that's the point - Microsoft's 'new
service' is using very old photos. You'd think
that they could afford the latest, and would
realize that people may lose interest if they
aren't going to supply useful information.
