I kid you not, ladies and gentlemen... you will have to download and save for the full effect, as it is, as you would expect, quite large:

I like the incompatibility mountains between Microsoft Land and Apple Land. Yep, when you blow it right up there is a lot of detail on there.
Reminds me of "Bored of the Rings" by the National Lampoon, I'm not a great fan of NL, I did however enjoy that book, I remember spending an entire afternoon peeing myself at the two page map , it was one of those things where some little bit got you started and you just could not stop, for me it was the blank bit labeled "The Flat Mountains". This map has proportion problems and so far while "www" is mentioned I cannot find "http" which is what it all actually runs on. Can anyone find Compuserve? It was just as big as AOL, and he's got the Vampire CA technologies but misses out on the sheer scale of their vampirism. Also I feel the ARPANET peninsula is misplaced in relation to CERN Island as ARPANET predates everything on the map and good old Tim came to build the WWW on HTTP at CERN (edit: on the ARPANET foundations i.e. the transport protocols). Also!!! Why is Steve Jobs land just on the border of ARPANET? Ok Berners-Lee hosted the first ever website in the world at CERN on a NeXT which was Job's baby after Apple fired him but was he really that close to the web in the early days? Apple was in no man's land in the 90's and NeXT was struggling the whole time, Gates did a pinpoint swivel in 1993-5 when he realised how big the web would be and was closer in my mind to the roots like ARPANET than Jobs was at that time, Microsoft had a big hand in early standards and in breaking them and trying to crush all opposition
Steve Jobs Land is also on the border of Forgotten Websites near the Ice Shelf. I notice a new revision is due sometime.
