  • Apple Maps 'closed' mistake costs restaurant thousands

    jimdreamworxjimdreamworx
    Having worked as a subcontractor to a Google contractor, who paid us to manually drive around to verify business addresses in Google Maps, I can see how mistakes like this can be made.  First, the company may be registered to the home address, and that is noted to remove it from the maps and flag it for the actual business location.  The latter part may be missed.  You'd be surprised how manual with humans the process is.  I even met a guy who was retired and was flown around the world to drive a Google Maps car (and eventually an Apple Maps car, having the experience) and he had stories to tell on how he effectively monitors the self-drive, takes photos, and makes notes of those photos on the supplied smartphone.  The Google apps are horrendously over-engineered and complicated!  Curious how the Apple ones work.

  • Apple Vision Pro shipment dates slip nearly instantly

    Not bad for a product that many people are complaining about is too expensive and that Apple is too late to the game and that it will fail and no one will buy it with all the other better alternatives out there...

    Oh, wait, that was the iPod.
    And the iPhone.

    It’s only right. This isn’t some frivolous indie app.abbreviating the name to be cool.  This is a social media giant undergoing a legitimate rebrand. X is its name so X should be its listing. Anything else would be asinine. 
    Tell that to Google. Search for X and see what happens. 

    This is the most insane rebrand ever. 

    I'm curious what you would be searching for using only the letter X in regards to what this app does.

    As I'm sure as the app continues to evolve, it will have a search engine.  Which makes the point of using archaic, biased, SEO engines like Google moot.

    Can you imagine when it goes public again, a stock with a single letter?  Maybe we now know the next company to be negotiated with by Musk.
    Cisco called and wants its iPhone back.

    Why does the Loud warning trigger on my Watch when I dry my hands at a dryer in a bathroom?
    Didn't a software engineer envision this happening?  Especially the one who came up with the hand-washing timer.

  • Twitter staff nearly decimated by Musk's 'extremely hardcore' demand

    I just want to say that all of this publicity with Musks management style is going to hurt workers in the future. Especially if he’s successful. This is how he runs his very successful companies 
    Which successful companies are you referring to? SpaceX and Boring both lose money. Tesla is solvent due to a government incentive program and has yet to be profitable in its own right. 

    Why is it that Elon Stans know the least about him?
    Indeed.  No one buys an electric vehicle because it will save money and work better than ICE cars, they are bought due to govt agenda.
