noi che viviamo in questo carcere, nella cui vita non esistono fatti ma dolore, dobbiamo misurare il tempo con i palpiti della sofferenza, e il ricordo dei momenti amari. Non abbiamo altro a cui pensare.

Google?s ?Map Maker? Now Lets You Edit Google Maps In The United States
It's hard to believe, but for the last few years Google Maps users in the United States have been missing out on a pretty important feature (though there's a decent chance you've never heard of it). It's not particularly sexy, and many of the people reading this post will probably never take advantage of it, but we'll all reap the benefits over the coming months. Meet Google Map Maker. The feature is pretty self-explanatory: it allows users to create (or, in the case of the US, edit) Google Maps, and it's already had a major impact worldwide. You see, in the United States, we've been able to access online maps for years because companies have been plotting and licensing the data to services like MapQuest�and Google. But in many countries, there wasn't any data for online maps to speak of ?�so Google created a web-based tool so people could create their own. Edits are submitted by users, and after a moderation process, they're added to Google Maps.
