Google on the other hand is a really global company.  Public transport integration was added to Google maps for a whole country at a tenfold speed Apple is adding just a single city

Here in Spain.... I have learned to never trust google mapping!!! As much as I love Waze (yes I know its not google maps) - its directions are simply horrid and surprisingly, Apple maps has worked out for me very well. Which is a shame because the crowd sourced data in Waze is indispensable

I too do love Waze crowd sourcing. However their directions suck. If I know where I'm going I just have Waze up but I don't rely on it otherwise. I thought Google bought them? If so, why aren't they using Google as the search for directions? 

Personally I'm always more comfortable and trust Google maps more than Apple Maps.

Come on... OS X UI has been losing color every year. Last week I had to use a Mac running 10.6, it looked and felt great! iOS also lost it in 7.

Seems to be since Johnny Ive took over as head of UI design as well. He should stick to the design of the hardware and stay out of the software. 

Still waiting on that ATV app....

As much as I love Apple I remember as soon as iBooks came out all Kindle books that were $9.99 jumped to $12.99 plus. In favor of this ruling. 

Doesn't Wall Street and analysts/investors just have somewhat unrealistic expectations for Apple at this point?  They make spectacular products but they aren't growing or selling "enough" iPhone for what they "think" Apple SHOULD be selling, thus, a downturn in the stock. Aren't we nearing a point of saturation? Look at the iPad for example, people are not feeling the need to keep upgrading them like their phones, not as often maybe this has also hurt Apple. People can only buy so many products.
