Apple Fixes Maps Error Called ‘Potentially Life Threatening’ By Australian Police Posted: 10 Dec 2012 10:30 PM PST That was quick! A day after Australian police issued a warning against the use of iOS 6 Maps after several motorists, who relied on the inbuilt Maps app, were stranded in inhospitable locations, nearly 70 km (43.5 miles) away from their actual destination due to incorrect labelling of locations, Apple has fixed the error. The Guardian reports that Apple has updated the maps data to show the correct location of Mildura, so now the searches for and directions to the town show the correct location. Continue reading →

How to Set up Separate Signatures in Mail for iOS 6 Posted: 10 Dec 2012 09:48 PM PST I wasn't around much last week as I was not only trying to get out from under a mountain of email – yes, even productivityists stuck in an overwhelmingly full inbox every once in a while – but I was also starting to explore some of the cooler new Mail features in iOS 6.

A Rational Take On Apple’s Ambitions In The Television Space Posted: 10 Dec 2012 01:38 PM PST Of late, all we’ve heard about the Apple Television are either Tim Cook’s comments on how awful the current TV setup is or Gene Munster’s yearly hyperbole filled research notes (incorrectly) predicting that Apple will finally launch a TV this year. Jean-Louis Gassée, former Apple executive and a competitor to Steve Jobs during Apple’s acquisition of NeXT, has a much more reasonable take on Apple’s ambitions in the Television industry.

FTC Finds App Makers and App Stores Aren’t Doing Enough to Protect Kids’ Privacy Posted: 10 Dec 2012 12:31 PM PST A recent FTC survey and report has found that kids’ apps are still gathering information about users (i.e. our kids) without informing parents about what is being collected or how to opt out. The FTC also states that little improvement has been made since the last study and report in 2011. This raises real concern about the privacy of our kids while they are using the technologies that are crucial to their futures. Continue reading →
