And being the speed nazi that I am, thought shit, Bing is quick.

Sure enough the pages and most of the javascript is hosted by Akamai, and that means its in Orcon's datacenter!

Results obviously come from HQ but i'd assume they're all nicely compressed JSON or somethin'.

Nifty!

Old Spaghetti Junction, and my house isn't even there, and I've been living here for 5 years.

Anyone want to give me an address and a screen shot of an area that is out of date, I'm interested to see if Nokia Maps data is any newer than what others are providing.
