very cool. the satellite imagery seems both more detailed and more recent than Google's.

In my area (Canary Wharf in London) with Google I can see the Crossrail works going on but there nothing happening on the Nokia maps so Google is more recent here.

Came here to say the same, google maps imagery of my area is about 7-10 years old.

I was convinced the CIA was watching me, because I've been checking Google Maps for over a year now and the same white van's been parked outside my house for all that time. I just saw that on Nokia maps it's left. Thank goodness!

I don't think speed is a big enough pain point for the python community at large to justify the pain of moving from cpython.

PyPy needs to use their great implementation stack to develop their own killer feature. Like for instance a small and fast python for embedded scripting or compiling normal python program to a small and optimized native executable.

So far just faster python have been a killer feature for some people :) True, it does not fit anyone, but hey, nothing does.

Sweet. Scribd has an HTML5 document viewer so a PDF viewer is certainly doable. Maybe this will be included someday as a minimal PDF viewer in firefox.

Now all we need is a proper javascript printing api and almost all business application can be done in the browser.

But this is pure client-side. Scribd does server-side generation of the HTML5 page.

Yeah. If this gets more robust and productized, it just might eat Scribd's lunch.

And Adobe's

...not sure. They're not exactly charging for Adobe Reader. If end users or site owners switch to a less bloated viewer, they still keep using Adobe's PDF format.
