Apple Axes Head of Mapping Team

New submitter drkim writes "'Apple has reportedly fired the head of its mapping team following software glitches which annoyed customers and rained mockery on the company.' Mr. Williamson promptly left Apple headquarters in Antarctica, and walked to his home in Middelfart, Denmark." Nerval's Lobster adds: "Cue is also 'seeking advice from outside map-technology experts' as well as 'prodding maps provider TomTom to fix landmark and navigation data it shares with Apple.'"

Antarctica? Middelfart?

Mr. Williamson promptly left Apple headquarters in Antarctica, and walked to his home in Middelfart, Denmark."

I don't get it. Is this some kind of humor, or some kind of random gibberish added to the submission to see if anyone notices?

Maybe the submitter was trying to see if the editors were paying attention . . . ?

That's what we call anachronistic thinking. In at time when there was no penitentiary system the guilty either had to pay with money or blood. In a time women women couldn't support themselves through labor, they could only have dependent status. Today you go to jail for not supporting a child born of your adulterous wife and her lover; to say that executing the actual guilty party is some enormity of injustice is proof that moral and logical conviction have degenerated since biblical times. The wisdom of the Bible foresaw this too: Apocalypse.
