Microsoft Makes Apple Disappear

Internet sleuths have discovered that anyone using Microsoft's new 'Virtual Earth' website for a bird's-eye view of Apple's corporate headquarters sees only a grainy overhead photograph of what appears to be a single, nondescript warehouse and a deserted parking lot — not Apple's sprawling campus, with 11 modern buildings surrounding a plush courtyard."
