Leave it to fanboys to see “relentless negativism” in legitimate criticism.


Indeed, his criticism might be the reason for the major revamp in the first place, according to other news stories. Quote from paywall:

Complaining gets results. I'm a total believer in negativity. You could say I'm positive about it.

What I mean by "relentless" is that this article in the OP covers the changes in detail for the first half, but the second is the same content as his last piece:

https://www.justinobeirne.com/google-maps-moat

and quite like the one before that:

https://www.justinobeirne.com/a-year-of-google-maps-and-appl...

But while this one has a lot of specific speculation, the Google article is about how cool they are, links to PR and basically says "look at all those buildings, they must have done it with computers". I suspect someone who worked at Google wouldn't have said that.
