Or is the user in the pocket of Microsoft?

Sadly I bet it will go ignored and posters will accuse google of doing this because they haven't read the whole thread and/or don't care.
Hopefully a defacating one, because that's how many feel about android products.
I'd be surprised if Google knew about this. They know Apple is such a strong brand that is often hurts your own brand when you insult it. Samsung made this mistake.
You have to be a fool to believe Google would be directly involved. They have no reason to play the fanboy role. It's a waste of time and resources. Same reason why I don't post fanboyish comments anymore. It ultimately does not matter and it's a waste of time. Buy what you want.
This. If you switch to satellite view, you can clearly make out that there is, in fact, a real park planted out in that shape.
Ahh I'm not annoyed about this at all. It's hardly the first of it's kind. Apple makes fun of the competition all the time. I believe this was also a user and not Google themselves. That said, I think the networking BSOD is a little more subtle than making a pee joke.
As if you and many others on this forum wouldn't jump down Apple's throat if they were in the same situation...
Well two things.
One - I don't believe Apple Maps is accessible for public alteration. Second - given that I READ the article, I saw that there was more than ONE explanation.
So while others with reading comprehension issues might jump down Apple's throat, I wouldn't have been one of them.
Thats funny
a robot pissing on a fruit, oh yes, too funny... when you're 3 years old.
Yeah, this is definitely not Google doing this. I'm not a fan of Google in general, and Android is a hot, sticky mess. But they're not stupid enough to do this in any official or unofficial capacity.
And it is mildly funny, in a sophomoric and childish sort of way. Not unlike the back window decals that some pickup truck drivers sport showing a stick figure urinating on the logo of another pickup truck brand. Just goes to show you that there are rednecks everywhere.
But honestly, why is this even being reported? It's essentially a meme, obviously posted by an individual.
Yea I was gunna say, Apple to this day still uses the BSOD logo for connecting to Windows network shares.
Because Apple and Apple fanboys don't do it. I don't know of a single instance ever. Android fanboys however, are quite the violent bunch. I work with a bunch of android fanboys. It's amazing what crap comes out of their mouth.
I'll talk about something apple and then some jackass pipes up about how Apple people are very vocal about their products meanwhile just 1 hour earlier he was vocalizing about how he's getting the samsung galaxy iphone ripoff.
Other times these android fanboys talk about how their phone isn't working. Or how it has this cool feature that apple doesn't have. I'm like apple has that feature and you're a no different than apple fanboys.
It's almost like android fanboys are oblivious that they're fanboys and they react exactly the same as apple fanboys; except, that they assault and bully people that use apple products.
It's a very strange psychosis.

Ya but I'd argue that that is classy way to make fun right?
Urinating on anything is a cultural insult in every single place on the planet.

Really? If Google actually approved this then I don't know what to say. Was it just some employee having fun?
As pointed out in this thread - twice - it is almost definitely NOT google.
So who's getting fired?
