As GPS and internet based maps and locations are being more and more widely used services, the adverse and perverse (really? lol) sides of crazy users are being evident.The latest victim was none other than a company you have perhaps heard of. Microsoft Corporation. Their Redmond HQ was termed as Microsoft Escort Service (!!!) and phone numbers were given out with false description.

Funloving people (most probably Linux admirers ) couldn’t lose that opportunity, could they? They called those numbers up the whole day and asked about mm, I donno (you can understand? lol).

Some said, developers from Redmond were very happy that day. Why wouldn’t they?

A good hearty laugh for MS. But anyway, with big names comes subtler responsibilities too. Google has had this map disasters with Apple, Morgan Stanley, Coca-Cola, GM etc. So next time, be serious in maintaining them.

Wait a minute. I had heard Google and Microsoft are not two good friends either. I will wait for Ballmer.
