gee, a blogger is amazed a mapping application doesn't look exactly like a mail application!
How about linking to an article with something interesting to say, Timmeh? I expect bad writing from pundit wannabees from the slashdot editors, not from the linked articles.
Wow! You're a Douchebag!
"Google Maps is starting to cause a bit of a stir"
Really? With US residents only presumably.
In the absence of international support, the only "stir" I get is what I'm doing with my coffee at the moment.

Personally, I wouldn't know Wichetaw County from Wisconsin, and neither would the majority of the people on the planet, connected or otherwise.
In fact, if they wanted to catch a high density of people, they should've mapped somewhere in central Japan which has half the US population in a hundredth of the area! So they chose their own backyard. To be honest, "we think outside the box" has never sounded so trite as coming from Google.

No. Safari is overrated crap. It needs to go back to beta.
Mac zealots will dissagree, of course, but they are in denial about a lot of things....
