I mentioned in a previous comment that I think Apple should just bite the bullet and license Google Maps in perpetuity, in order to preserve the best experience for its users. Let Apple get access to the data that Google acquires via Maps,

Most programmers gravitate towards programming because they is some aspect of programming that inherently interests them. I have about a dozen friends that I've tried to convince to learn how to program, even something as simple as Excel f

I think it's different now than before because almost everyone is comfortable with the idea of communicating over the Internet. I used to IRC and MUD and the types of people that engaged in those activities were, for lack of a better term,

A good CEO knows when to stop throwing good money after bad. Apple will NEVER reach the search domain expertise of Google, and Maps is too valuable to let turn into a complete debacle, as Apple has learned. We have given Apple so much mone

No, you're wrong. It's not with the data. It's with Apple's ability to search. Like I said below, look up "Pier 39 San Francisco". This is a dead simple query, extremely specific, and they point you to a really bad area of SF. This isn

Frankly, Tim Cook should shut down the entire Apple Maps division. Who in their right mind is going to use Apple Maps at this point? Try searching "Pier 39 San Francisco". The query can't be any more specific, and it's the most iconic loc

Finally, I'm happy that this app is released. I refused to use Apple Maps any further. The one major drawback from the Original Google Maps app is that the original one did an excellent job showing every single street name on even a deep z

I never said it was astounding those are your words not mine. Now tell me how many of your parents middle class friends have been able to save $1500/month consistently for 25 years and have 1.5m in the bank. Unless you are in the upper clas

You can use whatever math to rationalize your theoretical position on the subject. However, my parents who were a single income middle class family earning no more than 60,000 at their peak now has 1.5m in the bank. The idea they "lost" 410

My parents bought their house 25 years ago 250k and sold it for 1.5m. Now they are renting a 2 br apt for 1500/month. Their housing cost will be roughly 25k/yr and they are millionaires. The idea that the article talks about how you can't b
