The google stuff is still in the app store. I can understand wanting to eliminate the native type stuff on the phone. Why promote your competition. Smart.
It took about an hour to complete the new update. I'm not a fan of the new layout of iTunes and the App Store, it will probably take a while to get use to it. The new maps seem cool with the 3D view, and supposedly Siri now knows sports.
Tell the captain 'This boats not safe And we're drowning.'

I'm still on an iPhone 4. I don;t think I have the 3D maps. Or I just can't find it.

I think it is only on the 4s and 5's. It would be at the bottom left if you had it.

Yeah. All I have is the arrow to find my location on the map. Just another reason for me to get the new phone. :fp:
What about Apple? You don't beat the oil giants without corruption, price gouging, and creating a monopoly.
you're totally right ... i mean it really becomes a choice between evils ... i may be delusional with apple but i know it can't be worse than google ... it just bugs the shit out of me that google tracks everything you do ... if i login to my email on a browser and then launch youtube - it automatically signs me in ... i don't want them to know that i am watching old 80's music videos ... ... and the whole thing with the android phones and stuff ... at least with apple security - they ask like generic security questions ...

Yes correct. Apple is pretty much trying to eliminate anything Google.
i am getting away from google as well ... sucks changing email addresses but i really have a disdain and mistrust for google these days ...

How is Apple any of that? A monopoly? There are plenty of other computer manufacturers, smart phone makers, tablet makers, operating systems on the market. Price gouging. How? Corruption? what corruption has taken place at Apple?
I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin
"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
If people don't like Apple or Google then there are other choices.
From my own personal experience...my wife's Apple desktop is going on 7 years old and have never had a moment trouble with and has outlasted and been trouble free longer than any PC I've owned.
What gives Apple the edge for me...
- is that their customer service is awesome
- their products are aesthetically pleasing
- i like are they've built an infrastructure around iCloud and seems to work seamlessly
- absolutely love photo stream and especially going to find the new shared photo stream extremely useful
- passbook app has potential to be real big or a dud, I think it all depends on if the retailers and other merchants take advantage of it.
- the maps is not as good as google was, but google has been doing maps for years and apple is in its infancy. Google will release a stand alone map app.
Are there products pricey? Yes. People have choices.

this discussion/choice is a matter of ethics moreso than features and functionality ... i basically do not like how intrusive google is ... the fact they want my phone number as a measure of security is blatantly intrusive and has nothing to do with security ...
it comes down to how nefarious each company is with the data they are privy to ... as of now - i believe apple to be less nefarious than google ...

I agree. I can see having ethical issue with google...not really sure apple is doing anything unethical toward their customers...its not to say their not.
My point more or less was that their are plenty of choices besides those 2.
As far as email goes...I am not a huge user of email...but I've always maintained if you don't want others to see my email besides the intended recipient then its best for me to find another form of communication.
I definitely get what your saying about privacy.

ya ... we can never tell with these companies ...
my thing with email isn't so much what is being said ... it's more the fact google connects your searches with your email and even tho you opt out of ad preferences - you still get ads that so happen to coincide with your searches ... it's so bad now that i use bing as my search engine ...

Yeah it is a slow download. I'm sure there's a shitload of people doing it which must have an effect.
ya ... youtube and maps (which is powered by google now) are gone ... they replaced the maps app tho i think ...

It's definately the lesser of two evils.
How is Apple any of that? A monopoly? There are plenty of other computer manufacturers, smart phone makers, tablet makers, operating systems on the market. Price gouging. How? Corruption? what corruption has taken place at Apple?

What gets me though, is the people that knock Apple for making products in China...while they're talking on their phone made in China. :fp:
