I particularly like the attention to concealed carry. :)

I missed out on the Google Maps A.F. - but thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Hexus for posting the info. :thumbsup:

Actually (at the risk of sounding like a Google fanboy) I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the two Google A.F.s - those videos looked pretty professional.

Although I do remember something about some US university (MIT?) making good progress on an artificial nose, so perhaps this particular A.F. might be less "fool" and more "prediction".
