Surely if it's vector done right they can draw the lower detail vector tile at the higher bitmap res?

I think this happens due to the way the App Store time-weights many metrics. expect it to be top tomorrow.

I dislike having to wait for a network round trip for the pin to drop. Drop the pin, and do the reverse geocode simultaneously. Access to streetview would be quicker that way.

I think you're viewing Tomorrow's World via rose tinted glasses. I loved it as a kid but if you watch an old episode now you're guaranteed to cringe.

I have a feeling iCloud is just testing the waters with Photo Stream. Full on cloud hosting of photo libraries is a large undertaking requiring masses of storage. I expect it will come eventually.

Why did The Daily fail? I'm putting it down to it having no unique character and thus suffering a blandness of writing. That, combined with terrible UX.

There was excellent thought experiment/one-off drama on how a product like this could affect employment and relationships in the future. "The Entire History of You" aired on British TV last year [1]. It was written by one of Peep Show's [2]

> "The staff have left this store, take what you want" and I really can't see how that could be construed to breaking the law. This is both breaking the law and a poor analogy.

It's a good product and in many ways better than the Google maps that existed previously on iOS (vector, 3D, Flyover). The map data coverage is fine for probably most users. For those users it is inadequate for, however, it renders maps com
