I can't believe I'm typing this, but after the new Google map changes, it runs so slow on my home and office computer that I was forced to switch to bing. It still works on my mobile, but its just unbearable on the other systems. I hope they create a more streamlined version soon.

That's pretty short-sighted. Imagine if we had these kind of views of, say, the streets of London in 1900? This is worth doing for history's sake alone.

For one, yeah, "what if" we had these kind of views for the streets of London in 1900? I doubt many would care, same as not many care for 1900 music, 1900 books, 1900 photographs and such.

#104It's mind boggling how bad the arabic translation is at: http://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetvie... It's like they ran the text in google translate and never bothered to check the results.
Never mind the actual window-washers and builders who made these buildings are de-facto slaves to the Monarch of Dubai Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Then in the next demo over they try to get all multicultural with the first nations language "ᓱᑯᑦᑎᐊᓃᒃᑲᓗᐊᕐᖓᑦ ᐃᖃᓗᐃᑦ? " http://www.vice.com/vice-news/the-slaves-of-dubai

Check your bipedal privilege cis scum. No but seriously, every time you feel the urge to make a luddite point remember that there are disabled people who are getting a whole new lease on life via enabling technologies.
"Scum"? Trying to raise the level of discourse are we?

You think the only people interested in classical music and literature are "some scholars maybe"?
No, some scholars and some outliers. Judging from sales numbers, 90% of the population could not care less.
