QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 11:11 PM) It was alright. Nothing really ground-breaking: 1:We've known for years that Michael wanted no part of Isaiah and that's why he was left off the team. 2: We've known for years that Charles says whatever he wants to whenever he wants to. 3: We've known for years that everybody (including the players) thought Christian Laettner being on the team was a joke 4: We've known for years that the Dream Team's opponents were in awe and didn't care about losing by 60. 5: We've known for years that Scottie, at the time, hated Toni Kukoc and made it a point to stick it to Jerry Krause by embarrassing him. Basically, it's been 20 years and you knew they were going to do some kinda special. It's done now. Time to stop looking back and enjoy what we have today. Jesus, who cares it was awesome.

Literally hate how pitchers kill rallies in the NL. It's an even bigger copout when you walk the 8th hitter to get to them. So stupid.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 11:53 AM) People shouldn't be so hard on LBJ if the Heat don't win it all this year, last year he was the reason the Heat failed, this year he might have to score 40 plus every game for the Heat to win, OKC is simply the better and more balanced team. If he goes 0-3 in the Finals, you could give him a break for his first Finals, a 22 year old leading his team vs a dynasty Spurs team isn't a fair fight, this year the Heat aren't better than OKC...last year he stunk up the joint and got clobbered in the media, rightfully so. This year, if he plays well, I'll give him a pass if he loses. I'm gunna be hard on a guy who goes 0-3 in the finals when he calls himself King and has chosen one tatooed on his back. Sorry.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) 105 points for the Thunder and they get basically nothing from Harden. Forget all that "series doesn't start until the road team wins" garbage. The Heat better get game 2 or this one is over. Remember when you were talking about the Spurs going 16-0 in the playoffs? I agree with you though I picked OKC to win in 5 earlier today and they showed it tonight.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) Bing maps are also very good, too. Very, very good. Of course, you'd know that since you're an apparent map expert that has used no mapping service other than Google maps! I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about anymore. Yes, Google has good maps, very good, but they've done almost nothing new with it other than add turn by turn (Android only) over the last few years. They've FINALLY made some announcements that upcoming changes are occurring...and why? Because they know Apple is entering the market...and now they can't sit back and do nothing... Competition is good, and this is yet another example as to why. When Apple takes something seriously, and it appears they are taking this seriously, they tend to do it really REALLY well. Competition is great as long as Apple doesn't force you to use their maps which I wouldn't put past them.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) You simply do not know this. As I said, it's something Apple has worked on for years, and incorporates the technologies of 3 other map companies they purchased for hundreds of millions of dollars. And Google hasn't worked on it's maps for years? I know that Google is king when it comes to maps and no other company comes close. How is Apple supposed to top it at launch by buying a bunch of companies that were worse than Google? They might top it, but it wont be when iOS 6 launches.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 01:44 PM) What are you even talking about? You're just saying things to say them now. You haven't even used the Apple maps application, and you're making claims as to what it can and cannot do. Apple didn't "suddenly start a maps app", it's been something they've been working on for years. They also bought 2 mapping technology companies along the way, to incorporate their advanced map software into their own. They then signed a cross licensing deal with Yelp, to integrate all of Yelps data/reviews into their mapping software. I know people who work for Apple, and though they said this application is not yet complete, that it WILL give Google's maps a run for it's money, and is in many ways, superior. I'll have to wait to see it myself to make an official judgement...but Apple's map application looks like a full and capable replacement. Edit: As a follow up, Apple purchased C3 Technologies and Poly9 http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/29/apple-acquir...the-next-level/ Sorry, but there is just no way at launch that Apple's will be better than Google's. Maybe after a year or two they will be better but without turn by turn it's going to be a downgrade at first. Apparently Google will be coming out with a maps app for iOS so this is all moot though.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) You do NOT have turn by turn now...not with the built in Google maps app...so I'm not sure what you're talking about. That and you don't have to upgrade your phone to IOS6 if it offers nothing you like. Yes, but the google maps without the turn by turn is better than the apple maps without the turn by turn. I have no way to prove this other than I doubt apple can start up a maps thing and suddenly be better than google at it. What I am saying is if I can't have turn by turn I'd rather have google maps than apple's map thing. And yes I will have to update to iOS 6 if it offers nothing I like because my OCD will go crazy if there's a one badge on the settings app Hopefully Apple allows google to put their maps app in the app store and this entire thing will be moot.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 08:04 AM) Apple's maps in iOS6 probably won't even be available until the iPhone5 is out...that will give 2 generations support for turn by turn (4S and 5). As it is now, NO iPhone gets turn by turn with the Google maps software they currently use...so I don't see how you can possibly pretend this is a negative. Currently, nobody gets turn by turn unless they buy a GPS specific app, such as Garmin, etc...for over 50$. After the change, 4S and 5 users will get turn by turn via built in maps software. It's a negative because their maps app is going to be worse than google's there is no doubt in my mind, because nobody does maps better than google. So now they're removing google maps from my phone putting in their s***ty app and not giving me turn by turn. I don't feel the need to upgrade to the 4s or 5 when my 4 is doing absolutely perfect just for siri and turn by turn. Hopefully google puts a map app in the app store and hopefully apple allows it or I am going to be pissed. Upgrades shouldn't be downgrades to people who don't want to jump on every new generation of iPhone. Until then I guess waze will have to do.

I think I love the Punk, Byran, Kane, and AJ story line.

Without turn by turn directions Apple's maps thing probably sucks compared to googles, and that's what they're doing to the people who don't have a 4s. Ridiculous that turn by turn is only on the 4s

I always loved how Quentin had no walk up music

iOS 6 being announced tomorrow (or later today technically)

People forgot Lebron was pretty clutch in the ECF last year before falling apart in the Finals.

QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Uncle Jerry will probably demand that Chris Sale be shut down so he won't pitch the last month of the season and not win the Cy Young, so they won't have to pay him like a Cy Young award winner. I hate people who think JR is cheap. When all he has done is proved over and over again that he is not.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws This story makes me warm and fuzzy inside. Remember when Dwayne Wade said that JR was not loyal.

I absolutely love how often people post in here meaning to post in the game thread.

Apparently Naughty Dog made ellie less ellen page like from the original video they posted.

Watch Dogs looks incredible as well. Plus its set in Chicago.

Anyone else get the boredem vibe from the heat tonight? It almost seemed like they didn't want to be there.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 12:01 AM) No, but it also looks like her as well. After I saw the Last of Us trailer a few months ago, I thought the exact same thing I thought today when I saw the Beyond trailer. But rumors of Page as the Last of Us character were denied, however, at the end of the trailer for Beyond, it says Ellen Page on the credits screen. Jeez the trailer for Beyond looks incredible too. I want both of these games now.

Is the last of us girl ellen paige?

Common Boston...

I love AJ.

Well this video game thread got completely derailed
