haha .. it does look like google is taking over the world .. they are doing one of those underhanded sneaky things step by step ....

just like microsoft back in the day, when they started to monopolize software bit by bit, and their plans blew up when netscape sued microsoft for being a monopoly .. think about it .. what other OS is there to buy other than Windows and Linux (for those free source gurus out there ...) ..

notice how when you get directions from one place to another, one the side bar, you can click the link in the number of each new direction and it shows a zoomed in portion of that individual direction change. plus instead of having to load a new page everytime you select a different portion of the map, its all loaded in real time and you can click and drag literally anywhere.

damn google is genius
