This war with Apple is starting to piss me off. Google rolls out great new features for maps, for example, that are only available on Android.

Indoor Maps was added to version 6.0 of the Google Maps application for  Android, and will presumably be added to additional mobile platforms in  the future. We asked Google if Indoor Maps will work on desktop Web  browsers, but were told that “the new indoor maps feature of Google Maps  is only available on Android mobile devices at this time.” Microsoft,  by the way, already has indoor mapping of major malls for Windows Phone and indoor mapping of airports and malls for the desktop.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.

I am made greater by the sum of my connections, and so are my connections.
