tbh theres a certain expectation of accuracy when you offer turn-by-turn directions. like before GPS was a thing, there were probably a lot of people who got lost because they couldnt read a map, but now its not really their fault anymore unless it literally says "next turn: drive into the harbor. just hit the gas at the pier."

i dont really care if its apple or google or tomtom or whoever makes gps stuff, its hella their fault if they send people into a haunted indian burial ground.

they were 100% ok with going with google maps but google just wasnt ready for prime time so they had to DIY

when your vendors suck sometimes you just have to do it your drat self

GOogle Maps are a bajillion times better than the epically fail Apple iMaps which suck incredible levels of balls and fail cum. You''re a pretty big iDick sucker but even this is a stretch for you brother so consider your gimmick unveiled and ruined.

once i was driving to work and i was not in a hurry, so i decided to follow the "shortest path" option in nokia maps. it took me on a gravel road and i thought "fine". i followed the road and ended up in someone's yard. they were home.

i did it again on some other trip and when i was driving on a highway it told me to take a left. so i did. once again i was on a gravel road, which this time ran parallel to the highway i was driving previously. anyway, after driving a couple of miles on it, the navigator instructed me to turn right, back to the highway.

yeh gravel paths are never a valid option imo.

unless you want to drive into some kind of blood sauna. all around you are longhaired finns double-fisting vodkas & switchblades. you wonder how they can stand wearing sweaters in the blood sauna. in the background you vaguely hear a voice calling out KOLME!

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

the Crapple store has refurb 2.6ghz Mac minis for $589. a Mac that I can set on my desk and push a button on my monitor to switch to appeals to me. I've already got wireless kb/mouse/everything

will that do Xcode and GarageBand needs-suitingly or is there another Mac mini coming down the pipeline (it was last refreshed in 2014) or

this machine better have an SSD or fusion drive in it, otherwise you're wasting your money.

I don't think anyone knows if there's a mini update coming, but if there is it will probably come when apple update the rest of their line to skylake processors.
