    Quoted: Google loves secrecy. That they've been acquiring fiber assets hasn't been a secret, but the sheer volume of these acquisitions HAS been. Why? One thought is that it kept down the price since people didn't really know it was Google snatching up this stuff (they've done it under a number of different corporate names). But if price was the issue, then why hasn't Google just bought the companies that own the fiber?

    Quoted:
    Yahoo had to comply with a demand by Chinese authorities to provide information about a personal e-mail of a journalist who was later convicted under state secrecy laws and sentenced to 10 years in prison, the company's co-founder Jerry Yang said Saturday. Yang, responding to questions during an internet forum in this eastern Chinese resort city, said he could not discuss the details of the case involving Shi Tao, a former writer for the financial publication Contemporary Business News.

    Built on satellite images taken mid-morning either Friday or Saturday 2005 as used in Yahoo base Maps, geocoded photos match only 2005 exactly. See in the satellite orthophotos the Dutch Windmills have already burned—Thursday evening, September 1. In 2006 Black Rock City moved about one kilometer northeast to Special Recreation Permit Site B.

    The dilemma then becomes, should placement match geographic coordinates or rough features of the city? Whatever the solution, Yahoo could update the base Map at their choosing and break existing placement for most photos. Currently beyond the capability of Flickr Maps, the solution lays not just in geocoding but also in timecoding each photo and placing it on the correct annual map.
