    Apple's Forstall Let Go for Refusing to Apologize for Maps

    Teramedia@cracklint is partly right. While Forstall may or may not have signed off on shipment readiness, Cook still had the ultimate decision to say "go" or "no go". He said "go", and then followed it up with an apology to users. Not quite the same as what Jobs would have done, but at least...

    Disney Buys LucasFilm for $4 Billion, Plans Star Wars Ep. 7

    It's a sad day for all old school fans over the world. The prequels did a serious blow to the old trilogy, to the point that some hardcore fans have a difficult time sticking with the franchise anymore. Let's hope they at least manage to make kick-ass movies out of the Thrawn trilogy!

    Saga for iOS, Android Learns Your Habits, Improves Your Life

    At first I was afraid that it would share my user data, but then I read that they assure us that it will never share its users' data, so now I'm not worried anymore. I mean, companies like that keep their word and are transparent right? Right?

    Facebook Stock on Downward Slide, Loses 23% in 2 Days

    Lots of haters around here. My thoughts are that Facebook has 2 problems to solve before the stocks rise again.
