Apple Maps, Weather app now shows Crimea as Russian territory
rob53 said:I've read China has the same issues so I could see Apple, and other mapping companies, creating an outlined area for areas under dispute. Of course, that might make a whole lot of areas outlined but it would be better than taking sides. Of course, there should be an authoritative source for country boundaries. Is it the United Nations or does one even exist?
It's also not fair to make the mapping companies the bad guys. They are only trying to present information that someone says is valid.Also agree. Borders should be shown as recognized by the UN, or the majority of member nations (not sure how that works here either).Slippery slope if map "corrections" can be pressured into existence.

Roomba developer iRobot looking to sell owner's room data to Apple to bolster HomeKit
I'll spend the 15 minutes to clean my place manually, if that means privacy. Nobody's mapping the inside of my home.

GM & Lyft to deploy 'thousands' of self-driving Bolts in 2018 - report
Ironic (and unsurprising) if the worst drivers will be the last to go self-driving...SpamSandwich said:
I am very much in favor of removing the task from lousy drivers. Self-driving or driver-assist systems will prevent millions of collisions every year.Templeton said:Still do not get self driving cars.

27-inch iMac teardown shows lack of storage upgrade options
Can live without being able to upgrade storage.The problem here is the cooling, which continues to soldier on apparently unchanged (and was just barely adequate before).Shame when they could borrow the superior cooling out of the iMac Pro. Which I'd buy if it got a real upgrade; not spending $5000+ on a three+ year old machine.
