In Apple's defense, their route was shorter...
I agree with the other posts, how in the elephant does one just drive onto a runway from a public road?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It's not exactly unheard of. Gibralter International has a highway running straight acrossed the only runway. Pics[^]

That's ubercool.

Yes, it's cool. I've walked over it too (quite quickly...)

In fairness to Apple, until a few years ago both Mapquest and Google map services led me across the main runway of the Laughlin/Bullhead City International Airport anytime I tried to map a route east of here. The airport was built in 1986 or so, and the road specified was a dirt trail used by the US Army cavalry (yes, the one with horses) to carry supplies to Fort Mojave, where US troops were busily engaged in subduing the local Indian tribe and securing the resident beavers' hides for fashionable hats.
Perhaps both services would have been better off selecting more recent government maps for digitizing...

There are too many do gooders in this world.
They are ruining it for us and our children.
We used to have fireworks on Guy Fawkes Night.
They changed this to the Queens birthday, so that it wasn't so seditious.
Then they banned them all together.
There are no fireworks any more.
They have taken all the fun that we had as a child with fireworks and stopped us from enjoying this with our children.
All the fun is being drained out by these do gooders.
Guinness, Gin, smoking, fireworks, firearms, drugs, sex, music and now they are talking about food promoting obesity.
....and whales can tap dance. They just do it really really really slowly.
...at least drunkenness should have some style and history.
It may be an excusable thing if it was cater's pack fruity Lexia day.

I don't particularly hate the color. I don't think I'd choose a gold colored phone but "to each their own".
I just think Samsung is ridiculous...
Apple releases the iPad and within months Samsung's tablets look nearly identical (even the packaging and marketing materials).
Apple announces a 64 bit mobile chip / OS and within days Samsung says it's next phones will have a 64 bit chip (never mind the fact that Android is not currently 64 bit)
Apple announces a gold colored phone and again within days Samsung announces a gold colored phone.
It's one thing to copy others (they all do it to some extent) but Samsung is totally obnoxious about it. No shame!

Here is a bit of news.[^]
I'm not angry at what Google is attempting to do. I'm angry because the horse sh*t that is the HTML stack is widely known to be just that, horse sh*t, and yet somehow Microsoft has been bullied into giving up on their own solutions to this problem. In an article I read just yesterday Google announced that Chrome would be dropping support for some browser extensions - we're getting played here.
So it's great that Google is going to be pushing this stuff but it is the Chromites who were part of the chorus decrying things like Flash and Silverlight.
Here is the salient point: 'The Standards' have never been about creating a single, open source solution to the web. 'The Standards' are a tool to bully the other browser vendors into pushing out an inferior product (HTML 5 compliance) while you work on your own extensions/clients/etc.
Silverlight is a brilliant product.
Bring it back and make it the hottest web plugin possible.
If Microsoft won't force the world to play it's game we'll all end up playing Google's game.
And that would be okay - I want to program using tools by a company that isn't afraid to win.

I agree with you.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.

I disagree with most of what you are saying. However there is one clear truth:

I don't think Google running things would be bad.
I'm willing to code in any IDE offered by a company that isn't constantly apologizing for winning.
It's beyond me why Microsoft is afraid of setting the course.
If they don't do it then some other innovator will gladly take the job.
