Opera file antitrust complain against Microsoft in EU

Many Blogs have discussed this - this is my view.

GO OPERA! Microsoft has been the giant against the mouse for a long time. Now that the open source community has a voice - Opera, Mozilla, GNU, Linux, RedHat, etc. We can fight back and make the governments take notice!

New tool for Google Maps Hackers

Google Maps API Team has added more control over the LocalSearch box that will show up in the lower left corner if you put
Gmap2.enableGoogleBar()
in your script. Personally what use is the LocalSearch Box unless it searches what you are mashing in the map.

Apparently that was the consensus from all the Google Map Hackers and they rushed out more control over the LocalSearchControl
