HAY, so is everyone on iCloud going to do a local backup tonight? Got to imagine the iCloud servers are going to explode tomorrow with millions of people sucking down their backups... I was all set to try it (as I haven't yet!) but realized it would probably be pure pain.

Google Maps on the browser sucks though. It's nowhere near as smooth, and StreetView requires Flash. The Google Maps app on iOS5 is smooth, and uses StreetView with no problems.

Hopeful that it'll at least be snappy on an iPhone 5, if the Apple maps solution is as bad as it sounds like it's going to be.

Who actually uses satellite mode for maps...ever?

I find it incredibly distracting when looking at a map, and seeing buildings or crap in my way.

It's how I prefer to use Google Maps. I like seeing what is actually there when I'm looking at directions.

I can understand why street view would be useful by looking at landmarks and stuff but I dunno, satellite view is too cluttered. It isn't an excuse as to why apple's map is shit. That is reprehensible.

I never do. Apparently a lot of people do. My main gripe is going to be landmarks not showing up or map data just being incorrect.

Hybrid. Best of both worlds.

I agree with this. I've always found satellite view to be pretty much useless for me, just like the 3D view in the new map.

FedEx messin' with my mind, they had the delivery date estimated for today at 3 PM until 3 PM rolled around; at which point they just got rid of an estimated delivery time entirely, haha.

DAMN, went right for the throat:

Apple's decision to swap out Google Maps is a rare example of the company openly placing its own interests above those of its customers

Don't lose hope, I've had some stuff delivered by Fed Ex at like 7-8 at Night even though the estimated time was 3 PM.

No, they're not. Josh and Nilay have been hinting the past few days about Kimmel. Go look at their latest tweets to see that Josh will have it on the show tonight and the review is coming at the same time.

I wish mine showed something.. all I see is:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

AT&T order status has been marked as shipped for about 3 days now but I still see the same stuff on UPS It says the label was created on the 20th yet I got the email about it being shipped on the 17th along with the tracking number. I realllllllly hope I get it tomorrow.

So Apple sent one to Kimmel for his show, and Josh will write a review after he's had five minutes hands on with Kimmel's unit.

OK.

Alton Brown just tweeted this:

Panorama is also on the 4S (I doubt he has a 5 already).

So glad I went with a white phone.

 

[nhlducks35]

If that's a scratch, then fuck me sideways for buying a black
