we already know that google maps aren't that new. The satellite images are at least a couple of years old.
but in MSN Virtual Earth Apple, Apple's HQ are missing.

simply compare the very old and outdated msn image with google's one

Is it outdated or done on purpose? MS is notorious for doing little things like that with resepect to competitors.. Even though they are a partial owner of apple, they are technically still the competition.
