Having a hard time understanding things makes you a retard, not others dorks. Don't jump into conclusions about others while clearly stating that you don't understand them, because under your broad definition, disabled people are dorks.
first, don't call me retard. second, if you cant find your way around without arrows pointing you everywhere you go then you are a dork and and or a retard. And I said nothing about the physically disabled and nothing was implied. If you weren't so fscking dense you would have easily understood what I was talking about. Now if you have a problem with that come and see me personally. I will give you turn by turn directions since you are obviously too numb between the ears to find your way without them. I bet if you went out in your front yard and spun around three times you wouldn't find your way back to your front door for a week.
Vision disparity is a kind of non-physical disability, retard! You may have not said it, but you did indeed imply it, because the broadness of your definition of "dork" applies to some disabled people, and I'm not going to explain anything to you until you stop throwing insults left and right, retard!

you started with the insults by the way. I said nothing directly at you at all and you called me a retard.
I am providing you something better than a citation or speculation. It is experience.
No, you're providing me with baseless speculation, because there is nowhere I can go to validate your logic.

That's impossible, there was no iOS developer program in 2007...

Source? Because paying for code-signing digital certificates is nothing new, and they don't involve access to third-party data, either. This includes the Mac Developer Program, which doesn't have Google Maps.
Oops, there goes your logic down the drain... Try harder...

You pay for the ability to process that data, not for the ability to directly display it.

I'm sorry, but how the **** was Google 'caught off guard'? it's a lie. It's been confirmed since JUNE that this was the case, and rumored strongly for several months before that. How long does it take to make a maps app? It's been 4 months since it's confirmed, but suddenly they're "scrambling"? Google has enough smart people working there for anyone to believe this. Bullshit. It's just more FUD to further the narrative that Apple is the bad guy. They should have been working on an app fulltime since the WWDC keynote at LEAST, if not before that.
Losing Google's YouTube App on iOS: No biggie...we don't have to watch Gangnam Style
Losing Google Maps on iOS: Millions of users in the Apple community disoriented...Apple, this is a monumental and fundamental part of what makes the iPhone or any smartphone a fledging Internet communications device. We have become so dependant on this in our daily lives and we take google maps as a feature that we pay for on iPhone having paid 1000's of dollars on products.
When the first iPhone came out, google maps was a primary feature and since then it always has been for millions of us. Now... Suddenly this smartphone is not so smart after all is it?
All we as customers want is some official statement regarding the situation so we can make calculated decisions in our own lives. The majority of users don't care about your beef with Google... We just want to know what's going to be done about this fiasco of epic proportions.
Apple, this is a monumental and fundamental part of what makes the iPhone or any smartphone a fledging Internet communications device.
That's hilarious. Because until Apple told you that maps would be great on a phone and showed you how to do it right, no one gave a crap, remember? Now their back end has given up on them, so they're relying entirely on themselves to give you what you want.
We have become so dependent on this in our daily lives…
Isn't that your fault?
…and we take google maps as a feature that we pay for on iPhone having paid 1000's of dollars on products.
If you're buying an iPhone just for Google Maps, you REALLY ought to consider not doing that and going for a cheaper solution.

Suddenly people aren't so smart, are they?

Already did.
…so we can make calculated decisions in our own lives.
Here's a decision: Don't become wholly dependent on a single website.
We just want to know what's going to be done about this fiasco of epic proportions.
The fiasco that is in no way a fiasco, you mean? The "problem" can solve by going to maps.google.com? The problem that, in a year's time, will have many of the people complaining about Maps today saying that they can't remember a time before Apple Maps? That one?
Tim Cook is making me sick... more interested in stock prices than product innovation and performance.
I can't stand watching him try to imitate Steve Jobs in his presentations and mannerisms... when really he's the black pope.
While this MAP issue is the most blatant expression of disrespect for apple's clients - there have been several other releases in the last year with apple's (products and software) that prove that Tim is a money man.

Oh for god sake, it's a cloud based service, in order for Apple to improve it Apple first need to release it. Why can't you lot understand this?
