^this is why it's funny to see Apple fail occasionally, the view that they're just the best^

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) I don't think so, as a democrat one of the things I don't like is poverty. I don't want people to starve to death just because they don't vote with me. ^^ I'm fine with donor states.

You must have some crappy PC's if they're unreliable.

Plus keep in mind that Iran would be attacking regional bases e.g. Iraq and Afghanistan. They don't have the capability to attack the US mainland.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:29 AM) Yes but that was the native google maps app in Android which has turn by turn directions. I've learned in this thread that the google app on iOS was pretty lame. same here

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) But the first portion is connecting here and nowhere at a hefty cost. And the final cost of this boondoggle will be well north of 100billion. Not sensible. I'm actually going to agree with you here.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) He's really horrible. Then I read Rush Limbaugh saying last week that if Obama wins California will declare bankruptcy, Obama will get other states like Texas to bail it out and in Rush's words "we're doomed." Is this true??? Don't put any stock into anything Rush Limbaugh says ever.

They do have a 'right' to try to make money. Which is why our current system of providing health care is so horrible.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) That was my point, it will most likely cover your basic functions decently right now, and will only get better as Apple learns. It's an inferior product right now, and it's funny to see the industry leader stumble sometimes. Especially when there's a huge cult of personality (brand?) around them.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) I travel for work. I use navigation more than I actually make phone calls. Same.

As a Bears fan I'm happy with the standings, but the Packers got completely screwed by the officials and there's no excusing that.

I use the navigation on my phone all the time.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 04:29 PM) I don't think you got the point there, they are on payroll for the map dept. Also they do mostly street view work and the stealing of data from your smart phone. And once again it is a cool feature for street view, but these cars aren't drawing maps, another company already did that for google, apple, mapquest etc. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/art...cars-stole.html They're still data-logging while they're driving and contributing to the actual mapping, not just street view.

That closing paragraph by Sudol comes off as pretty prickish, as well. Deadspin disagrees and went to the rule book as well.

That was not a simultaneous catch: Tate's right hand isn't even on the ball in that frame while Jennings clearly has control.

Pride and integrity? A desire not to embarrass themselves? Nothing lasts forever? You're still making a marketing argument, though, not a technical one. That people may still buy sub-standard* products because of the effectiveness of the marketing doesn't excuse the technical failure. *iPhone 5 is not a sub-standard product itself, but the mapping program is.

Touchwiz sounds like a urinal company

That people are still buying the phone doesn't excuse technical blunders. That's a marketing argument.

Union-busting Scott Walker is so sad about the incompetent scab refs:

Yeah but they should have used that cash to fix the problem before releasing it.

It's gotta be one of their biggest products.

My Droid has a mini-HDMI output, you could check for that.

I’m A Minnesota Viking, And I Think The Packers Got Screwed-Chris Kluwe

They could have had a more functional and better-tested product before they made the switch.

I have to go up near Green Bay for work later today. After all the s*** I got after the NFC championship game a couple of years ago...
