How much was cost for all that? Or how much would it cost to process 1m pages like this. Do some entity extraction on each page?

My particular issue with the new maps is when I search for a new unknown city and zoom out to see bigger area - pointer is gone! Try searching for city Kazan in Russia and try to quickly get an idea where the city is. Pointer or any mark of fhe city is gone when you zoom out enough!

It is a killer combination and I'm doing it for a while with Nexus S and CSipSimple App while roaming abroad.

I'm from Europe. And best part is that my mobile operator has SIP gateway, so wherever abroad I am, I always get myself local 3G data SIM card (it's 10 EUR for 1GB on average) so I can use data as much as I want, and I can call and being called (with my own number) with prices just like I would be back home - cheap.

Even better is that I can also send SMS with same app (again from my own number). Classic way, when abroad it can be anywhere from 0.15 EUR to 0.40 EUR per SMS when roaming.

Sending SMS works on EDGE, but for calling it needs to be 3G. Sound can delay from time to time, but it's a small price for keeping home-network-prices wherever in the world I am.

And they serve Google Ads when you search for a flight. Unbelivable.

Best quote to conclude article:

"Don’t be scared of change, be scared of the debt growing in your code base and in in your infrastructure. It won’t go away and there is no government bailout on the way to fix it."

They also have a Flash version - http://spielzeugz.de/lab/sticky-thing/flash/

While there is no way to run Flash on iOS devices, accelerometer works only with iOS.

I belive that's what Steve was talking about in his Thought on Flash where he concludes:

"Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short."

Kudos to html5 and guys creating this experiment. It's awesome!

Ingolstadt (city of Audi HQ) had (still has?) this experiment.

Cars were getting signal from traffic ligjts and you as a driver got a warning sign like: "drive 30 km/h" to hit green light without stopping.
