What?
That is a false analogy, the insurance industry exists because life is unpredictable and "shit" happens. The anit-malware industry exists because of faulty programming and home-user ignorance. Next time you belittle the "evil" insurance industry...imagine a world without it. The industrial/technological boom of the 20th century would not been if it were not for insurance and the safety net it provides for entrepreneurs. What has the anti-malware industry done?
Lets see... Zillow.com has street, satellite, and hybrid views. Sounds a bit familiar. It has 1/4th of the map size compared to Google and about the same satellite quality image. Its main "advantage" is home estimate values. Any Real-Estate expert will tell you that using a computer system to estimate market home values (let alone out-dated system) is just plain absurd.
In short, Zillow.com is a less user-friendly version Google maps with often false market values for homes.
