Completely agree. Aside from the practical, everyday application of maps, being able to jump into streetview and see the house I grew up in, zoom out and jump to the other side of the planet and jump back into streetview to see the house I

Fair question. If I asked you to do a phone interview and you told me your reasoning why you'd rather another form of interview, I wouldn't have the slightest issue with it provided the job your applying for doesn't involve a

Every one of those companies defines the word 'successful'. I'd suggest your title should read "Why are there not more insanely successful, multi-billion dollar startups in Europe?"

Is $150 considered cheap in the US? I only ask as I had my iPhone4S screen repaired for just under £30 here in the UK by a local electronics shop and the quality was outstanding.

What was Garry's original title? It appears to have reverted to the article title now.

Your post prompted me to download the app and my first impressions are that the simplicity of the app is a huge selling point. No pointless nav bars, no curious looking buttons, no walls of text, simple, effective UI. I really like it. Hope

Good point. I was contemplating doing exactly that already. Consider it done.
