Everyone Loves To Hate On Apple Maps

Ever since the combined release of Apple’s iOS6 and iPhone 5 last week, the tech world has been in an uproar over the introduction of Apple’s own mapping system.  Apple Maps, the primary iOS6 mapping service and Apple’s answer to Google Maps, has received less-than-impressive reviews from users.  The problems with Apple Maps have already been well-established, but the public [...]

Apparently Many People on Facebook Aren’t Really People

Are you one of those that have 1,000+ friends on Facebook? Do you actually have 1,000 friends in real life? Nothing against you, but you probably don't.

Infographic: It’s Not About Facebook

Facebook’s Suit Against Timelines.com Is Shameful

I feel sorry for Timelines.com, which is a cool site that allows users to post information about a historical event so that the site encompasses many years of history. The home page opens to This Week in History and you can search by topic (assassinations) or by date. On my exact birthday, for instance, Dr. Seuss got married. On my [...]

Are You Ready to Go All “Occupy Wall Street” on Mark Zuckerberg?

Unthink seems to think we might be. The outsider, vaguely anarchistic social media company believes that consumers who balk at Facebook’s privacy issues will be pleased by a platform that lets them control the data. Like the Occupy movement, it’s ready to to upend the status quo and create revolution to change the world. It’s also got a little bit [...]
