The thing that drives me absolutely bonkers about 500px is that you can't disable the stupid right click blocking JavaScript.

If people want to use it, fine, give them the option (even though it doesn't prevent anyone determined to get a photo saved). But, for the love of everything, please don't force users to have it on. I was going to sign up (and pay) for 500px until I found out that you can't actually disable the right click blocking (see: http://support.500px.com/customer/portal/questions/475736-ri...).
This is a far more relevant comparison for our own society.

Finally, I'm happy that this app is released. I refused to use Apple Maps any further.

The one major drawback from the Original Google Maps app is that the original one did an excellent job showing every single street name on even a deep zoom level. The new Google Maps one does a poor job on this and you have to hunt back and forth to figure out what zoom level you need to get to in order to read the street name. Once they get this right, things will be back to normal.
Does this still work when it has a few pieces of dust stuck inside? They take up space and make noise, but fans seem like they'd be a lot safer unless you're filtering air on the way in.

Is the lag any better on an iPhone 5?
Just one Data Point -
My first query (from my office in Redwood City) was "Directions to Lake Merrit" - it found Lake Merrit, but, unlike IOS 6 Maps, couldn't get me transit direction there. IOS 6 Maps one-clicked me over to "HopStop" which gave me a choice of Walk/Caltrain/Bart.

Prior to the uproar around IOS 6 maps not having Transit direction, I wasn't even aware the IOS 5 Map had transit directions. In San Francisco, Tokyo, New York and other places this is a big deal. But, if you want to get Transit Direction from Redwood City, CA to Oakland, CA, IOS 6 Maps currently beats out Google Maps.

With that said, I'm blown away by how quickly the interface can guess what I'm looking for as I start typing into it. Apple has a long way to catch up in that department. I suspect for much map searching, Google Maps is going to become my "Goto" client on the iPhone.

[Edit - Love the speedy Swipe Left/Right interface. Also Offline Maps. Just Cached all of California, Switched to "Airplane Mode" - and all my mapping data is cached. Awesome.]

[Edit 2 - Wow - this map is fast. IOS 6 Maps wasn't particularly slow, but switching back and forth shows me Apple has a long way to go. Have to Love Competition]

[Edit 3 - Jumping into StreetView is silky smooth, and, they make use of the accelerometer so you can look around]

Google Maps SDK Available for Native iOS Maps App to bypass Apple's
The Power Of Selling Out
A bit of a hyperbole...it's been fine everywhere in Georgia. I've been using iOS6 Maps since the first beta, and I honestly didn't notice any of the issues people have with Apple Maps until people pointed them out after the public release.
I am a regular IOS5 Google Maps transit directions user in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Google Maps transit is far superior here to HopStop, which seems to think we have a subway. Looking forward to testing this new app, so I can upgrade to IOS6.
Korean at least is an alphabet fairly easily entered via a standard qwerty keyboard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_South_Korea.svg

The letters are composed into blocks describing syllables, rather than strings describing words as in Latin alphabets, but entering letters on the keyboard is the same.

Complexity of operations. Simple planes don't really need checklists. There are not that many knobs to turn and not many things can go wrong. As the planes got bigger, faster, and got more equipment, it became impossible to just "follow the flow".
Yes, I notice zero lag on my 5. I'm connected to fios/wifi, though I can't imagine that being the driver of lag.
I agree with that. 500px is a bit elitist (although does have a lot of 'quality' photography in the mainstream sense). Flickr on the other hand is a lot more loose and if one knows how/what to search, there can be real gems and aspiring new artists to be discovered, alongside all the old masters.
I'd be curious to see the connection between politics/economics and other subreddits.

Such as what subreddits are /r/ liberals, conservatives, libertarians, anarchists, etc likely to follow?

Are liberals commonly in /r/trees? Are libertarians big on /r/economics? Are conservatives avoiding /r/wtf and /r/trees?
Ok... but what you described about how traditional investment works is how Kickstarter tells their project-runners to operate.

My point was that KS and traditional investment should operate in more or less the same way, especially regarding issues - whether that's simply letting people know they've hit a snag and are working on it, or are asking for advice on the best way to proceed. I realize it's difficult to scale the concept of a seed round to hundreds or thousands of backers, but an email blast to 5-10 is just as easy (or hard) to write as one going to 5000.

You just need much better filters on the responses.
Seconded. Apple may have set the bar really low for data, but they set it really high for interface and usability.
Adrian Chen thanks you.
Google Map iOS SDK released
It's very smooth on my iPhone 5, but it does have moments where you can notice a bit of frame drop (only if you've read this comment thread beforehand).

From a UI/UX perspective:

+ Fonts and text entry are great
+ Search speed and interface speed are fantastic

- The pull-out menu on the right (akin to a hamburger menu) feels a bit odd and it's not immediately clear as to what it does (they are layer toggles for traffic/transit routes/satellite)
- I can't figure out how to bookmark my home or work addresses (whilst being logged in) - if there is a way it is not intuitive.
One of my elementary school teachers use to tell us that her uncle invented the bar code... I wonder if this was him.

I remember I couldn't believe that someone actually invented that, as a little kid that made me think being a scientist was so cool.
7. When I get over 8 I feel like crap.
I'm also on a 4S and it doesn't feel laggy to me. In particular I'm feeling much fewer "hiccups" as new data comes in than I do with Apple Maps.

Now, at the same time, it does seem to be locked at 30fps rather than 60 (as in Apple Maps). So it's not quite as silky smooth in that respect, I suppose, but it'll also drain battery more slowly.
I don't have a 4 or 4s to compare with, but I haven't noticed any significant lag on iPhone 5 over Verizon LTE. Even satellite and street view are pretty responsive.
There are two issues here, and I believe you have comingled them.

1) legality with respect to sales tax law: If Kickstarter actually requires that a good is shipped when money is given (the statement I was responding to with this comment), then this difference is barely even academic: it is just a way to do an end run around sales tax law, and I don't think it is one that most places would tolerate well (although enforcement on that sort of thing is slow and spotty).

2) terms of service on credit cards regarding pre-ordering: No, if you are giving Gamestop $60 to hold on to until a product is shipped, and you do this with a credit card, this is in violation of their agreements with companies like Visa. These requirements (obviously) flow through if you use third-party payment networks that, themselves, are based on the usage of credit cards by the end customer.

In fact, this is sufficiently true, that your example is actually wrong to begin with... Gamestop doesn't even do that, because (as I said) if they did they would be in violation. They have a page in the help section of their website where they go over this topic in specific.

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/help/Pre-orders.aspx

"""Your credit card will be charged only when your order is processed. In some cases, we will process your order and authorize your credit card up to 10 days before the release of the product. This allows us to get the product to you faster."""

In essence, they are taking your credit card number ahead of time, but they are not actually billing you; it is only when the product is actually pretty much available that they do the authorization on the card. Even then, I bet they are doing only an "authorization", and performing the "capture" when they ship: they do the authorization ahead of time to make certain there is time to deal with delays, mistakes, or simply a long queue, and then can do the capture quickly when they go to ship.
I'm shocked how fast the UI is. I'm on an iPhone 4S and every UI gesture, view load and transition has absolutely no lag. For example, from the sliding info sheet, tap on the street view button and it loads instantly.

Even requests that are hitting the server seem to return almost instantly.

Is it just me?
Maybe a small bump. They hit over 60% adoption in October, and when you take out devices that can't upgrade to iOS6 and people who don't even realize updates are available (my grandma, for one), I'd have to think people who have intentionally held out this long make up a small but vocal minority.
There are other costs besides price. Someone who graduated recently, or doesn't have a length track record etc may also need a lot of time for self learning, mentoring, accumulate a ton of hidden technical debt, not write maintainable code, have bad naming practices and code conventions, limited experience coding in a team environment, low output, etc. And getting someone to come in to clean up the mess will cost more time and money and effort. This is on top of nostrademons' the market corrects itself eventually.

And I am someone who used to outsource many technical projects to Eastern European developers, and wound up becoming a developer. You maybe getting good talent at a good price, but there's always a cost.

It isn't hyperbole at all. Tim Cook himself apologised for its shortcomings. The fact that Google is getting so much attention for their maps app speaks volumes as to how problematic Apple Maps is.
Wow. New GMaps totally annihilates Apple Maps in every which way. Not that this comes as a surprise...

Navigation is great, so much better than Siri's dreadful voice, easy to navigate from A>B with a tap of your destination. Let's not even mention the street data.

Great 3D flyovers, but no satellite-3D flyovers (if you're worried about that you probably have too much time to waste during the day - this is a maps app, to take you places, not give you a tour of Los Angeles).

UI feels great - intuitive, fluid, multi-touch works fantastic. Heard someone mention that it "lacks polish" or feels "laggy" - not sure I agree with that - feels fast on an iPhone 5 and on a 4S side-by-side. UI is clean and not cluttered, that's a plus. Someone else mentioned that it's simply GMaps in a UIWebView - no chance for that.

Of course, the public transport data is second to none. The data in general - we won't discuss that.

Great release - welcome back

this is really good! Apps like these are useful.
One of the many features of Org-mode in Emacs is that it functions in a similar-style to IPython's notebook for over twenty different languages, Octave, R, Ruby, Python, C, C++ and others:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html

The related features in Org-mode are known as Org-babel, uniting disparate languages under the single umbrella of Org-mode. The support for language evaluation in Org-mode is slightly more cumbersome than that offered in IPython, but also arguably more flexible and powerful. Plus you get to edit your notebook in a powerful editor with best outliner ever, plus all of Org-mode's many other features (I'm a Vim person but I give credit where credit is due).

Org-babel is a rich and deep niche of Org-mode, and one of the areas under the most constant development. You can read some docs on it here, but it can be hard to wrap your head around all of it until you actually use it:

No, it won't be. Bad things must be criticized (or boycotted), to force them to become good. Your use of Apple is affecting my life badly - it's just like passive smoking. No one promoted the culture of ridiculous patent law exploitation as much as Apple did. They are not just doing their own work, but indulging in UGLY competition killing tactics(like they don't want anyone to make rectangular phone with rounded corners).
To give you some insight of your own logic, if everyone "not killing someone" will just not kill people as they like it, and didn't say a word to the 'opposite party' - who kill (as they like it as well), according to your logic the world would be WAY better. Jihad is a bad word, but I'll fight against the injustice to my world of technology that Apple is doing.
I've been playing with both of them, side by side for about 30 minutes. Google maps feels about 2x faster. Unlike IOS 6 maps (this is on my iPhone 5), I can't seem to scroll fast enough to get ahead of the map cacheing. I definitely feel like I'm getting a more FPS than IOS 6 Maps. This suggests this is a CPU/Graphics issue?

Re: Side Menu - Unlike those stupid tiny x marks in the notification tray which I can never hit on my first try, I can't seem to miss opening the side menu. Are you swipe-in opening it? It's not a push, but a swipe.

Bookmarks are there - you just have to click "save" when you open the item. Then clicking on an empty search bar will bring them up.

> Investments usually have an upside commensurate with the perceived risk.

My mental model of Kickstarter is more like giving money to the EFF: maybe they give me a hat (they did, actually; I didn't want it; they seemed to refuse to let me leave without the hat... it was weird, as it almost made me want to give them money less, as they apparently were spending some of it on hats people didn't want, but hey: maybe it was some accounting thing), but the real reason I do it is I know I contributed to something that I believed in, even if it sometimes doesn't accomplish the things that they wanted to get done.

When I see a Kickstarter, I think the same way: I think of it more like deciding whether or not to give the guy on the street corner some money in the hat (more hats...) that they have next to them; I don't really get anything in return for that money (arguably I got the music they already played, but I could have easily freeloaded that): I'm just contributing to his life as an artist, in the vague hope that I've helped something beautiful exist in the world.
Looking at the UI I can see why it's fast - everything is set up in a way to maximize performance if you're willing to put in the work.

Which is to say, simple text, simple lines, simple shadows - all of which, so long as you take the time and draw smartly using Core Graphics, is well within the capabilities of any iOS device. Combine with a few dashes of smart UI caching and the whole thing will scream.

iOS UI optimization is a topic I wish more devs knew about. So many relatively simplistic apps are dog slow because no one has bothered to do even the most modest amount of optimization.
Yeah suure, "Google to release Maps tonight".
More like: "Apple to approve Maps tonight".

Google submitted Maps to Apple months ago (although Eric Schmidt remained voluntarily ambiguous and avoided to say it explicitly):
http://9to5mac.com/2012/09/25/eric-schmidt-on-google-maps-on...
After firing the iOS Maps manager (Rich Williamson), Apple decided to take the only sensible approach of finally pushing a button to let Google Maps in the app store, as a short-term stop-gap solution to end their endusers' frustration.
Usability? In this app you can actually switch different modes of navigation (car, on foot, public transport) after the route is displayed to you. That, at least, is something this app has over Apple’s app.

That's a fantastic catch. I always knew something bothered me about that icon.
> Great 3D flyovers, but no satellite-3D flyovers

If you're into 3D satellite views, this is available in the Google Earth for iOS app. Google launched the 3D flyover stuff in that app a couple of months before Apple released iOS 6, so it's been around for a while.

If you have Google Earth already installed, then you can jump directly to that app in the swipe-left menu of the new Google Maps app (and it will even jump to where you were looking in the Google Maps app, so it's pretty seamless transition).
The fastest request is the one that never happens. One of the biggest benefits of using hosted libraries is that browsers cache those files locally. By sharing the same URL for your copy of jQuery with thousands of other sites, you increase your odds of getting a local browser cache hit. For popular libraries like jQuery you're probably best using Google since they have the most adoption. That said, I think CloudFlare's CDN is an interesting idea and could grow into something genuinely useful especially for less popular libraries.

Just for your information, we don't have a "real" Chrome on iOS, we have UIWebViews with Chrome branding. So Google can only innovate in the UI surrounding the web pages, not the rendering and interaction of the websites themselves.
More like "Clock to tick forward to Google decided date to release already Apple approved Maps".
Is this a UI issue? Or does it not think it has any transit directions to offer? The web interface and android have transit available from Redwood City to Lake Merritt:

"People loved — I mean loved! – Flickr"

This is true for me. Flickr was the first web service I paid for, and I still do. It really was a generational leap at the time. Photos were meant to be shared, and they nailed it. Tagging and tag clouds, folksonomy, embeddable badges - these were all fresh back then and they worked well. If only they would have added the ability to tag friends early on, I think it could have taken the place of some social networks.

I really do hope flickr becomes the next flickr. I keep putting my photos there, because I like to have them in one place. However, I do have to admit that sharing them on facebook creates much more interaction and fun.
