I like how the picture in the article shows Google Maps, not Apple's maps. Most telling.

  Most telling of journalistic laziness perhaps. Possibly even revealing a lack of awareness or knowledge by the author. It might even be just some low-paid, technically unskilled assistant tasked with attaching vaguely relevant images to articles. My guess is that -- whoever it was -- typed something like "maps iphone" into Getty Images and picked whatever came up top. Here's the same Getty photo in its intended context: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-13/new-google-maps-app-restores-order-to-the-universe http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-13/new-google-m...

    > It might even be just some low-paid, technically unskilled assistant tasked with attaching vaguely relevant images to articles. The problem though is that the article is passed off with the contact author as "Matthew Panzarino" Matthew Panzarino is the Managing Editor of TNW. Matthew brings 20 years of computing experience and mobile tech obsession to delivering the latest and greatest tech news and views. http://thenextweb.com/author/matthewpanzarino/ http://thenextweb.com/author/matthewpanzarino/ Now, this seems like a journalist with 20-years of computing experience making a rookie 'lazy' mistake. The "behind the scenes" may be different though.
