apple has impeccable taste in matters of design.  sadly, can't say the same about the acts they book to play at wwdc.  smh

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.

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.
