Google's dataset is far more complete than Apple's. You said it yourself: there is no such thing as being "done". As far as continual tweaks, Google has been making them all this time. I would definitely take any comments that Apple's data is actually ahead of Google in any meaningful way with a grain of salt. Finding outliers and using that as proof (an Arby's?) doesn't mean a whole lot. If anything, that picture shows that yes, no mapping software is completely perfect. But suggesting that Apple is going to reach Google's level of completeness in a year is insane.
For the record, Yelp is a really bad source of location data, and that's one of their major pitfalls. Yelp still thinks a chinese place exists a few blocks away from my place. That place has been closed for 3 years.
Apple will get there if they keep pushing this like they are, but it's not going to be in a year.
You think in a year, Apple is going to be caught up to Google who has been constantly working on their mapping data all this time? You vastly underestimate the effort required in this type of job.
Apple could have agreed with Google's demands; it's not as though they were earth shattering. Google wanted either more data -or- more in-app branding for Google. Apple could have easily given Google the extra branding in the interim until the time they were actually ready to launch their own mapping app.
Apple jumped the gun on this one and it blew up in their face. Hopefully they'll think twice next time before making such drastic changes before they're ready.
Most people don't know or don't care about any perceived issues with Windows 8. TFS honestly sounds like nothing more than clickbait. They aren't buying Windows 8. They're buying a want a laptop that comes with Windows 8. If they actually care enough, they can take their existing Win7 license if they have one and put it on the new laptop, or just buy a license.
I only ever purchase from Newegg or Amazon anymore. While I have Amazon prime, many times Newegg has something cheaper, and oddly, I always seem to find the items that have free 2-3 day shipping baseline. Theirs and Amazons RMA process are both spot on in my opinion.
No, you're right. But things can be done to help, and they still have their life to live from that moment onward, of which they can work to piece their world back together again. Once you're dead, that's it.
But that would be taking the argument too far. The world isn't black and white. Death is the ultimate punishment. You can't make up for taking someone's life once they're already dead.
Then allow life prisoners to request execution, rather than automatically execute specific people regardless of our knowing whether they're really innocent or not.
The same should be applied to terminal patients, too. If they want to die rather than suffer a horrible end, they should have the option. We think we can condemn people we think are murderers to death, but we refuse to allow people out of needless torture at the end of their life? What a weird society we've become.

Sure, let's all completely ignore that this bundle is dwarfing the previous bundles in the first day in terms of money collected.
Wish I had mod points for you.
THQ's situation is pretty humbling right now. Perhaps you meant to add "Indie" and bold that instead?
China already routinely disregards IP rights.
Yeah, fuck WindowA.
Internet security company? Since when is child nanny software to keep kids away from porn known as security software?
It's probably both.
You are so full of shit.

I was going to post exactly this.
This seems like it would be incredibly easy to set up?
The Wii also played Gamecube games, but calling it a superset of a Gamecube is a bit of a stretch.
The DS played GBA games, but calling it a superset of a GBA is a bit of a stretch.
The GBA played Gameboy games, but calling it a superset of a Gameboy is a bit of a stretch.
The PS3 originally played PS2 games, but calling it a superset of a PS2 is a bit of a stretch.
The PS2 played PS1 games, but calling it a superset of a PS1 is a bit of a stretch.
etc.
That has got to be the stupidest rationale I've heard thus far.

Most likely wont.
You missed the entire point of the post.

The paper itself calls it an insignificant effect, so even taking it at face value, it basically amounts to almost nothing.

He is. He's also heavily into child pornography.
But no, I did not mean that.
