Sources split on alleged acquisition talks between Apple and Tidal
pull the trigger, tim. i bet you can cover the deal with the loose change hidden underneath your couch. i'd love to have jay-z as yet another brand ambassador for apple music, despite his trash talking when the service launched. -
Apple expands Maps capabilities with new Flyover, Nearby and Traffic location data
maps is a product that needs a lot of work. i'm happy to use it whenever convenient, but recently i was on a road trip in southern california...used apple maps for TbT directions, and it suggested an infinite loop (literally) on and off highway 1 outside morro bay. had to revert to google maps for directions back northward. i really hope they devote more resources to the product, especially if they plan on releasing a carOS sooner or later.
yes, a carOS and not a car. in the most recent podcast, one of the folks at AI outlined all of the reasons why producing a car made no sense, but a framework or OS did. i tend to agree at this point. why make a TV, a highly commoditized product with low margin, when you can make the primary device and interface that users will interact with? same logic seems to apply to cars as well.
