Out of all the weather sites, I still prefer the layout of the National Weather Service's forecast pages.

Example: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.893077299131...

I don't know... 99% of the really thin streets in the examples do seem to be "dead end" streets. I think you just found an error (which wouldn't surprise me, given how many minor errors I've found on Google Maps in the past year).

Why the hell wasn't this an election issue? I would have gladly voted against any candidate who supported this.

Wonder if Lion will come on a USB dongle instead of a DVD.

This is huge. With API V3 and its accompanying "Wizard", Google has essentially democratized cartographic design. It's never been this easy.

It doesn't exist to me either without knowing: (1) the Price, and (2) the projected Battery Life

There was a time in U.S. history when it wasn't uncommon for several generations to be living together under the same roof. All of this "oh, he's twenty-three, why's he still living with his parents?" non-sense would sound very, very strange to someone from yesteryear.

Surprised to see no mentions of Barcelona. I was under the impression that it was one of Europe's startup/tech centers.

Personally, I hope it looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIPjJElVx0U

One can dream, right?

The realistic-looking highway shields are a welcome addition. (They're much better than the cartoony-looking ones seen on most online maps.)

I wonder if they were influenced by this: http://www.41latitude.com/post/598792787/realistic-looking-h...

To clarify: This is why I'd prefer to start a startup. You might not succeed, but at least you're working on the project you want to work on.

This is why I prefer startups.

"According to a survey from National Association of Colleges and Employers, the class of 2009 is leaving campus with fewer jobs in hand than their 2008 counterparts. The group's 2009 Student Survey found that just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one."

While I like this solution, I doubt most casual users would ever "discover" this

Casual users are unlikely to "discover" this

The modern user is interested in both.

Student Loan Debt = Why joining a startup out of college is hard (for some)

^^^ Great advice for anything entrepreneurial.
