Comment Very poor map data in my area (Score 1) 466
I live in Perú and i can tell you that the breach between Google Maps and the new Apple Maps app is huge. The last week I did a small trip to a town in the Andean. While Google Maps had all roads Apple only shows the towns name. The Google Maps app using HTML5 was worthless the web app doesn't seem to find my location (maybe a api change).
So I'm one of the disappointed iPhone users and I'll be waiting for a proper solution directly from Google. I think it may change my mind when I switch my phone later this year.

Submission + - David vs Goliath: Apple beaten in court (seattlerex.com)
RockoW writes: "A few years ago, Apple sold defective computers of the MacBook Pro line. They had the defective NVidia 8600M GT GPU . In this case Apple refused to take the computer back and issue me a refund. Instead, they promised to replace the 8600M GT boards when they failed, up to 4 years from the date of purchase.
3 years later the MacBook Pro failed and they refused to replace it. This guy took them to the court and won by they own means."

Moral of the story: Don't disclose small errors to the public. Many lawyers will see an opportunity to get their pockets filled.
