We know there's a lot of rivalry between Google and Apple, and their respective fans, but it's not often that we can see that put into actual words - or in this case - in a very descriptive image of an Android pissing on a Apple, in Google Maps.
Yes, it seems to harsh to be true, and it would be really easy to fake. But the truth is, it's not a fake, and it's actually there in Google Maps for all to see.
At first I thought it could simply be a custom map layer made by someone, but it doesn't seem to be the case, which makes it even harder to imagine how it got there (at it certainly must have been approved by someone in Google Maps before becoming "live").
Can you imagine how an Android pissing on Apple found its way to the world's most widely used map service? Let's see how Apple reacts to it - if it does - and how Google explains it; because I sure am dying to know. :)
Update: looks like it may be a disgruntled Google Map editor/contributor, as close by we can find a message to Google.
I don't think that all new map features needs to be approved by Google employers. Everyone can report map problems and edit the map ...
