The L.A. Times Names Its Favorite Flops of the Year
SternisheFan writes "Salvador Rodriguez and Deborah Netburn of The Los Angeles Times have a rundown of the top 10 tech gaffes of 2012. From their article: 'As 2012 comes to a close we take a look back at the biggest "oops" moments of the last year. Whether it was an advertising misstep (Facebook's "Chair" commercial), or a product released before it was ready (Apple Maps), or just an idea that was ill-received (homeless men as Wi-Fi hotspots), we tried to compose a list of the times when the major players lost control of the narrative. It's also a reminder that everyone makes mistakes--even exacting tech companies.'"
Again, there is nothing wrong with the app; the problem is the data that Apple is using with the app. If Apple released the app and used Google's data their would not have been any major issues. Using their own data is the problem. Google had years to get their data correct.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
