So the 5 is a re-vamped 4 with sh@t maps, scratches easily, poor camera. Understandable why the foxconn Workers are rebelling against apple/management.

Cheers Wurzel, great timing, I've just read this article but didn't want to revive this Fandroid Circle-jerk myself.

http://blog.onavo.com/2012/10/apple-maps-data-usage/

Well worth a read, it's all well and good having the most detailed map in the world with pictures of your neighbours G-String and your Mothers Dog in the garden but who's got unlimited data nowadays? I have, as I have more money than sense but I'm in a minority.

One step back, two forward, it doesn't suit everyone at first but benefits us all.

What does Apple Maps vs Google Maps data usage on iOS have to do with Android?

Sorry, been away - what have I missed?

Android fans still bullying the poor little Apple users? Honestly, it's just because the Fandroids have small whatsits and need to compensate by getting a phone with a bigger screen.

You're asking me? Android has nothing to do with this thread, but some users come here to beat each other off.

Just for the hell of it, let's have an Apple share price update.

21st September, closing price 705.07

Live price today, 626.03.

I'm saying there's a small confidence wobble given the recent glitches. Apple need to be carful how they handle this, the market isn't convinced.

I'm still slightly amazed that they're over $600, I expect a fair wait before they hit $700 again, six months maybe. The new maps obviously have huge revenue potential but that won't come until businesses optimise their presence, the importance of a place on an online map is nothing new so signup will be massively accelerated.

Ms Kuyda said the only criticism of the project so far has come from Apple, which asked Bribr to "worsen the app".

"They said it looked too nice and people would want to report bribes because it was like a game, so we had to make it more bureaucratic, more ugly," she said.

This is where your alter ego Sheldon comes in useful, one denies and the other agrees with comments, then vice versa to suit

Apple have finally settled with the Swiss over the iOS6 clock design that they blatantly ripped off. Apple moan that others copy them but they are quite happy to do it the other way around, but they got called on it

Good news. Other companies should take note and pay up, no need for court. And all settled in under a month. A fantastic example of how things should work, stylish.

LOL. So you think stealing design and hoping you don't get found out is fine? And then only licensing the design when threatened with court?

You simply cannot see the arrogance can you Jack?

You think that's how it went down at Apple HQ? You cannot see the ignorance?

No. Apple stole the design, knowingly did so and then waited for the SBB to accuse them, then paid for licensing the design.
