Instead of addressing this they go and make a phone.<br />As for the Booklamp app it really is just an app. This is far too much fuss to be making over an app that's far too technical to be of use to the general reader and it kills the spirit of being a book reader. Books are best discovered, not "matched according to tone, pitch, blah and blah".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659145934033914416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-48675063585352636902010-11-18T09:29:17.138-08:002010-11-18T09:29:17.138-08:00"Can Google Hear Me?" comes off sounding..."Can Google Hear Me?" comes off sounding like "Can I be upgraded to business-class masturbation?"Tetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241522170026679866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-85773698916471520332008-04-10T16:27:00.000-07:002008-04-10T16:27:00.000-07:00It's an easter egg.It's an easter egg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-9990641660913299522008-03-11T13:38:00.000-07:002008-03-11T13:38:00.000-07:00@andreas: I noticed that too ... also, if you clic...@andreas: I noticed that too ... also, if you click on the Patriot Act, the description they've entered for it is "A bad idea."<BR/><BR/>;)joelpthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590272103564105944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-32440381381010713352008-03-11T05:54:00.000-07:002008-03-11T05:54:00.000-07:00HAHA!

They have directions for public transit. What about bike paths? It's so hard to see the bike paths on the satellite view, and they aren't on the vector map. It won't create routes that use them.<BR/><BR/>How about bike routing options that will use a combination of roads and bike paths? Or a route that prefers bike paths and stays off of busy streets?<BR/><BR/>This would not only be useful; if it helps people drive less and bike more, it would be right in line with Google's philanthropic goals of using its engineering talent to help solve the world's problems.<BR/><BR/>Google really should do this.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643468804330207593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-22050173681686678132008-03-10T17:12:00.000-07:002008-03-10T17:12:00.000-07:00What's this?
