Every time I talk about Google maps I feel the need to mention that the whole idea was "borrowed" (like most Google ideas) from a taxpayer funded NASA project.

if it wasn't for people "borrowing" ideas, technology wouldn't be where it is today
sometimes the people with the original idea didn't have the money or resources to see it through, so it is nice when someone with unlimited funds can come along and make it happen the way it should
