About search engines: how do they take screenshots of web sites?

This may be a dumb question, but I really have no idea and I'm utterly curious! So please bear with me. What I know is search engines just read HTML and words in a site. They usually ignore CSS or part of it. They arguably cannot read images. Do they? If they really cannot or ignore to read those, then my question is how do they make sc...

Mapkit routes and google license

So, this question is not if I can do routing with mapkit. You can't with the API. So I found the clever way of using an annotation to render a route between two points. The route is based on a series of lat/long values. In my app, I use it to render a route (but not for vehicles or walking). There is no list of directions, so it's ...

I Google the word and almost 100% of the time it knows what I was trying to type. :) I rea...
