Well don't look to Google for answers!

You do realize the first image on that site (north america labeled as Australia) is a total fabrication, right? I mean if you're just going to outright lie about Apple Map problems people are really going to think you are crying wolf.

If you think Google is going to save you, you might want to think again. It can't even find an Arby's when you need it, much less this other stuff:

Correction is not elimination

[SuperKendall]

Yep, SuperKendall, BasilBrush, and a few others are there to try to eliminate adverse talk about Apple Corp.

It's odd that YOU speak of elimination, when I have never down-modded an anti-Apple post.

Instead what I do is constructive; I provide the needed counterpoint. For that, I am in fact silenced (in this case) by people that agree with you, not me. I am the one being censored because you hate what I have to say.

I don't know why, but I assume they work for them.

Should we all then assume you work for Google? I guess so, according to you it is the only answer.

The why for myself is plain; I hate misrepresentation. I dislike people being misled, and seek to correct such things where found, for any topic - not just Apple.

I can't really see why they'd die in a ditch defending Apple...

I would not lay my life out for any company. But I will seek to help PEOPLE, not companies, where I can.

You seem to be the person all about companies, specifically stopping at nothing to try and take Apple down a notch without regard to who you mislead to do so. As long as it hurts your despised Apple, all is fair game.

I guess like you said we should presume you are a Google shill. Is it really worth it for you, getting money to try and mislead people? That's something I never could understand.

I'll let you have the last post because it's exactly at this point paid Apple Haters such as yourself go off on rambling tirades of no interest to anyone, certainly not myself; I understand you probably have some kind of quota to meet though.
