Yahoo Map Engineers Prank Google
pete314 writes "Yahoo engineers apparently couldn't help themselves, and Yahoo Maps had a great prank on the folks at Google. The beta of the new Yahoo Maps for a short while listed 'The Dude's Fish Store' at 1600 Amphiteatre Parkway in Mountain View, CA. The address is better known as the headquarters for Yahoo's competitor Google." From the post: "The phone number listed is for guy named Ruben Suterwitz (or that's what it sounds like on his voicemail). His voicemail gives the option to get assistance, forwarding callers to the Google front desk. There are several hints pointing to a Google prank. The search engine's co-founder Sergey Brin was born in Russia and both he and his buddy Larry Page were students at Stanford when they founded the company. "
Chunni Babu, stop posting on slashdot you goddamn troll. And don't post as an AC either. You are a tool. Every single one of your posts is a troll against Google. Who do you work for? And then you even include links to your own blog with anti-google stories. Your e-mail is chunidude@yahoo.com , you have a huge bias against Google for some ungodly reason. Get over yourself, Google provides certain services that are better than Yahoo's. Yahoo maps is particularly shitty, if for nothing else then the fact that it forces users to use flash, not even Microsoft did that.
