Report claims Yahoo! plans to lure YouTube stars to its own video service

Google Maps parody Google Naps tells you the best places to snooze

Google Naps, a parody version of Google Maps, seeks to help you find the best places to catch a quick shuteye around the world. A group of Dutch users wanted to provide users with the “world’s coziest and coolest places to take a well-deserved nap.” The napping spots are shared by fellow users and include areas in US, China, Indonesia, and Brazil, to name a few. It’s meant to be a funny take on Google’s Maps application and probably just a reminder that naps are a good thing every now and then (no matter where you are).
