On AskMetaFilter, an anonymous poster who's getting married in June wants to know if he should take a month-long work-related trip to England for the month of May when his fiance isn't enthralled with the idea.

This will possibly be the end of GPS companies such as Garmin and Tom Tom (their stocks have already plummeted since the announcement):Google also announced that soon, any search for a song or band will result in a stream of the song being returned from various partners which will be able to be played in […]
