- Google Maps still doesn't have proper support for my city, street names are wrong and it tries to get me into streets in the wrong direction, of course common sense is to be applied when on the wheel.
I just downloaded Google Maps to see if these issues were solved and as it turns out, they aren't. On the other hand having mapping data from TomTom finally made Maps on iOS usable for me.
The only thing I can't stand about it is Siri, it's too loud I set the navigation volume on low and it is still too loud, since I connect my phone over Bluetooth to use iTunes Match or TuneIn Pro this is a little irritating.
It's nice to have Street View back, though. :)In reply to: "Google Maps for iOS nabs 10M downloads in first two days"

- In my area Google Maps, even though there is Street View, street names are all wrong.
It has never worked before iOS 6 so I was glad when they ditched Google Maps in favor of TomTom. No so Super Google now, is it?In reply to: "Google Maps returns to iOS as an app after Apple's removal"

- You could use doubleTwist to sync your Android with iTunes' playlists.

- I was just ranting about this [the analog/digital graph] last night I was by myself watching a movie. Whenever some sort of apocalypse is happening on screen, TVs seem to lose signal the same way as you were watching a bad quality, old, or broken VHS tape. Static and image distortion. When I lose my satellite feed the images freezes a little, then pixelates and moves on, if it is severe it does the same but doesn't move on, I just get a No Signal banner somewhere. That's it. Same goes for broadcasting.
Faulty HDMI cables can introduce grain on the image but nevertheless it's still pixel perfect.
Also it pisses me off a little that computers make beeping sounds whenever they're displaying loads of data on screen. On TV and movies. These being huge touchscreens, holograms, or some high tech futuristic stuff. I though computers only made beeping sounds in the eighties. Oh, and Ataris.In reply to: "Still more reasons why all HDMI cable are the same"

- Justin,
This device does include NAT (port forwarding) and dynamic DNS--it's just under another name, as does includes Bonjour features other routers don't have, there is also remote access built in with no complicated setup. Yes, one loses traffic meters, WPS and website rules but I'd rather lose those in exchange for the reliability these devices offer. From all the routers I've use, these are the one that never require a restart or become unresponsive. To me, that is worth the extra you pay for which it isn't really much.
Also, there is seamless integration with OS X Server and AirPort Utility will notify any computer on the network that it's installed into if a problem occurs whereas in web-based setup routers you have to manually diagnose the problem.
Any of this is easily found within the Help menu on OS X or Windows. Oh, I forgot, they also can be setup with iOS devices. :)In reply to: "Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (summer 2011)"

- Bridget,
"...Verizon and Sprint customers cannot be on a call and also surf the web on 4G at the same time..."
This is because LTE is not true 4G. The LTE standard lets you fall back to CDMA or to circuit switched-access for calls, this is the reason. 4G is not about just speeds, it's about all-IP communications. Technically, in a true 4G standard, such as LTE Advanced, a voice call is managed as packet switched-access, or data.
Notice how Apple did not advertised LTE as 4G this time as it did with the 3rd generation iPad, they didn't the same mistake twice.
Loved you on the podcast version since day one on CNET Loaded. :)In reply to: "iPhone 5 preorders indicate hot demand"

- It's was a very disappointing announcement. From the name, to the screen, to the phone itself, it was a big letdown.
I mean, I'm still going to buy it, I lost one of my 4Ss and the 4 I'm using in its place it's starting to show its age. I've tried the latest on Android and Windows Phone--except for Windows Phone 8, of course, and though they're good alternatives they require a lot of workarounds to just work. Besides, nothing compares with Spotlight on iOS.
They should've at least thrown in a xenon flash. :P
Bad Apple. :(In reply to: "Apple iPhone 5"
