Thumbs down Can Google Be More Careless?

* On 21/09/08, I reported to Google its great Sky Mistake, as it was showing wrong current MOON pictures (Pictures are supposed to be instant/current, as the time & date of the picture is shown on them - time of clicking).
* I received a confirmation from Google that, my findings was correct * they will try to amend the Sky software.
One of the Modorators send me that Google confirmation, his email was "From: philverney
Hi Mo,
I was contacted by one of the moderators, Tek about your Sky/Moon complaint .
Although I do not work on the Sky team, I do work for Google and I passed your error report onto someone who is involved with it. He confirmed that you are indeed correct. There is an error in Sky.
Thank you very much for bring it to our attention. One of the Sky software engineers is going to fix it asap. At this stage I do not know when I'm afraid, but it is known about and naturally we do not want these kinds of mistakes in our databases.
Thank you,
Phil Verney"
* Today I checked the moon picture using google sky, I found that the Google Sky still giving the wrong picture of the moon, as it shows it as a WAXING Gibbous instead of its right phase of Waning Gibbous!
Google sky software is working correctly from new moon untill the Full moon,THEN it works wrongly from full moon to Newl moon (in the 2nd half of the lunar month!
* Even Google was made aware of this mistake 4 weeks ago, it seems didn't take this matter seriously & it showed that Google is not up to its responsibility to provide its customers around the globe with the correct information & data.
* Any one can check Google sky, then look through the window to see the correct picture of the moon!
** This mistake also applys on current picture of Mercury & Venus!
I wish to see Google come up to its responsibility, as this effects millions of people using google & consider it as one of their reliable references!!

Wow don't take it so personally you are right in 100% but still, i guess google sky is not in their top priority.

You might as well work for google!
