A bit weird to see you posting a link to a Google-bashing article, but I presume you were merely trying to lower yourself to my lame attempt at humour. For that, I command you.
Thank you.
I've posted a less than favorable Google article more than once. It's seldom noted tho as most folks just aren't that interested in something they assume must be propaganda since a serious Apple fan wan't the one to bring it up. I'm much more middle of the road than some realize.
I have to admit you were quite mockable in the beginning, and it only became appreciative of your posts when I realised your weren't biased but just interested in tech in general, and what each company produces.
umm..didn't some guys from the Loch Ness area admit a few years ago that they had perpetuated the fraud? And they showed how they faked the famous photo of Nessie?
I think this is going to turn out to be the work of a practical joker -someone who embedded the image into the map.
I never comment on these articles, but for some reason I couldn't let this one go. I did a few quick minutes of mythbusting and came to the following conclusion (your results may vary.)
I'm with you on this. The boat had to have been edited out.
Any article with the following phrase must be a joke: "making the appearance of a mythical creature clearly the more reasonable explanation"
Yeah, that was going to be my comment. Anyone who writes that seriously, doesn't comprehend the meaning of the words in use. I would certainly hope the article author was being sarcastic.
Bigfoot joke aside, THIS is the definition of reasonable. But when belief is involved, it doesn't matter how much factual data you give people, those who want to believe in BS will continue to.
So what this article is saying is that Apple Maps displays false information? How is this a good thing?
Apple maps display information, the interpretation of that information can be false.
According to the satellite image provided by Google maps, I should be sitting on a bare patch of dirt, rather than the house which is shown on Apple maps.

Google is still using the same Digital Globe image you originally complained about? Dang, you should have reported it before dumping all your Google services . Now we can't look around the yards, which might actually be a good thing as far as privacy so why complain? With that said Bing does a nice job with your neighborhood if it's accurate.

Really? Rationale? Are you trying to convince a bunch of techno geeks that there is no Loch Ness monster? Get outa here!
Next thing you know he'll be telling us Sheldon is only an actor who has almost no knowledge of physics and that pro wrestling isn't real.

Both images show Bigfoot.

'combing for cryptids'
Love you AI! Haven't finished reading the article yet, but had to voice my thanks for this phrase.

"False" information? Well,
"False" information? Well,
Nice one, but there's a difference between believing a creature is real and believing that a screwed up photo is real
But you believe in a god, right?
Why would one do that?
