@peasant slayer: I'm well aware of what GM is. So you're saying that you would call a Chevy Camaro a GM, rather than Chevrolet?

@StirringSibilance: No I understand that... read the above replies. What I'm saying is that the amount of time, effort, and money that Google has put into this project seem to vastly outweigh the amount of usefulness of the project itself.

@tande04: So you'd call all Holden cars Vauxhall then? Regardless of whether or not the car is re-branded elsewhere... it's still not the same company.

@IronDiggy: So, following that logic, we should refer to all Kraft and Nabisco product as PhillipMorris/Marlboro? We should call A&W, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC "Yum! Brand"? Dumb.

@ColdMist: Again... I see the usefulness for small stuff like this. I suppose I should have phrased it better: does it not seem that the mostly insignificant minor benefits of Google Street View are massively outweighed by the amount of money Google is putting into it?

@tande04: So you would refer to a Lexus as a Toyota?

@copperisblue: Again, I see how this could be useful on a minor scale like that, but it seems to me that they're throwing millions of dollars at this just so people will know where to get off a bus or see if a road is still there? Seems a bit silly.

@Fronzbot: Solution: buy a Subaru. Problem solved, haha. But no, I get what you're saying... it just seems like a LOT of money thrown into something like that for very minor benefits.

@That-One-Person: So Google is building an Android army, tracking all of our locations... and Apple has now purchased liquidmetal technology? Anyone else think Google and Apple are only a couple years away from teaming up to create terminators to wipe out humanity?

Ahahahaha ARE THEY DRIVING OPELS!? I thought Google was rich and intelligent! Faaaaaaaaaaail.

Uhh, the olive and chocolate ones are pretty fuckin sweet if you ask me. I'm sorry that not everyone loves carrying around a DSLR that says "Hi, I'm a clichéd, trendy hipster, please punch me in the face and steal my camera because I probably deserve it."

@j14: Lol that's the part I'm laughing at. All these people calling him an asshat/dick/whatever would do the exact same thing if they could. Shut up already, right?

@Juan R. Abrams: Did you even read the article? Because there's an entire paragraph about that.

Ahaha, I love the people who will turn ANY story about Apple/Steve Jobs into "I hate Apple, I hate Steve Jobs, what a dick!" You guys are more predictable and transparent than the hardcore fanboys. It's both pathetic and amusing.

@wanderingrabbi: I tried to explain that to someone yesterday, but as could be expected, the response was pretty much just "Wah wah Apple trendy wah wah fanboy Steve Jobs wah wah predictable scripted Apple-hater bullshit wah wah".
