We’ve used Google Maps’ Street View (GSV) to look at our houses, our jobs, and to cyber stalk the places we used to live. I’ve seen the since-wrecked pick-up I used to own parked outside job sites with a twinge of loss. I use Street View to see what kinds of venues bands are playing […]

One of the apps I use the most on my iPhone 4S is Google Maps. I use the app to navigate around traffic and direct my wife when she calls to tell me she doesn’t know how to get somewhere. Frequently, I drive between my home in Boston and my in-laws in New York City […]

Late last week, Google announced an Easter Egg for its main search page (announcing it makes it less of an Easter Egg, but whatever) by adding a random search spinner when a user hovers over the search engine’s “I’m feeling lucky” button. “I’m Feeling Artistic” leads to the Google Art Project, “I’m Feeling Playful” leads […]

Google Shoot View was the brainchild of Dutch advertising agency Pool Worldwide, and it allowed you to virtually fire an M4 machine gun superimposed over any of Google Street View’s maps.

Accused Of Copying Apple, Samsung Is Caught Copying Apple

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:00:19 +0000

We’re fairly fond of Samsung here at Techcitement. They make good products, are kind enough to send us review units, and invite us to events. However, what kind of blog would we be if we did not point out when companies we like do something stupid? No, we’re not talking about Ch@tOn, Samsung’s addition to […]
