Apple breaking away from Google Maps?

Gizmodo:

Over the past few years, Apple’s quietly put together a heathy little stable of mapping companies. No products have come of them thus far but key acquisitions have given Apple the mapping muscle to, at the very least, power some peripheral features on its own—even if for now that still means using Google Maps as its main backbone.

Last year, Apple picked up C3 Technologies, which specializes in hyper-realistic 3D mapping. The previous two years it was Placebace, a company that customizes and overlays information on maps, and Poly9, which is a lot like Google Earth.

Those companies give Apple a solid foundation, but none really operates on the scale of Google Maps. They’re fancy carburetors, deluxe exhaust systems, but Google Maps has been the only engine really capable of driving a high-powered maps app. Until now.

Veeeeeeeeeeeeery innnnnnnnnteresting. If you’re a nerd.

Former NBA star Meta World Peace (birth name: Ronald William Artest, Jr.) recently signed with the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association and he’s honoring his Chinese fans in a few odd ways. First up, Mr. Peace announced that he’ll change his name, yet again, for the upcoming season:

Guys my chinese name is not "Panda Friend" , its "The Pandas Friend".

Drone fan Touré trolls Sen. Rand Paul

MSNBC host Touré surprised quite a few Twitter followers with his gutsy announcement that he’s “very comfortable” with the Obama administration’s use of unmanned drones, just as long as only bad guys and no innocent civilians are killed. With that clear, what was the point of Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster? Best not to think about it too much and let Touré explain for you.

Don’t let these tweets lead you to think that Paul’s newfound support from both sides of the aisle has Touré concerned.

Time for a fresh approach.
