Very much so...

tl;dr -> "Buy my product"

Not when everything you put in is Public.

it was public on the site, not browseable. you needed to know the explicit url to your profile. there simply was no structure for it.

No structure? It was www.oink.com/{nick}, how is that not a structure? That's exactly the same structure as the zip.

Respect your users.

Is it disrespectful that Twitter makes my tweets publicly available via their API?

That doesn't answer my question.

"Respect your users" is not a question.

You didn't pose one. I did, and you ignored it.

>Privacy should always be the number one concern with apps and websites.

Yeah! Forget making a good product that fills a societal need that people will love, privacy is more important than all of that!

Actually protecting the users should be. Maybe because I'm a Dad makes me lame like my father was before me, but...

If you can't overreact on the Internet, where can you overreact?

The dinner table was my family's place of choice.

Right so the license says this:

If your application displays Places API data on a map, that map must be provided by Google. Places API responses may include Listings provider attributions in HTML format that must be displayed to the user as provided. Any links included in the HTML must be preserved. We recommend placing this information below any search results or Place Details information.

That would be a violation of the license, right? If you use places, you need to use Google's API to display them.

Here is a great resource to compare Apple tiles and OpenStreetMap tiles at the same time:

Slippy map with the Apple Tiles:

Visually interesting, but functionally leaves a lot of be desired. Seems more style over substance.

e.g., Zoomed over the entirety of the US - San Jose appears over San Francisco. Entirety of Midwest is empty even though there's plenty of room for some city names. Boston and New York make the cut, but evidently Baltimore is more important than DC :P Jacksonville FL makes the map before Miami or Orlando?

Hell, when zoomed into North Dakota not a single name is drawn.

This is pretty sloppy for Apple standards.

Actually it's a bug in the web app. If you actually look in iPhoto, there are detailed tiles for the region you mention.

Heh. Cork, Ireland: only two features visible from altitude are Apple's own site and - yes - another golf course. They do seem to be big on golf.

They are really inaccurate. The street I live on is completely missing in their tiles.

Looks to be a few years out-of-date, and there's an entirely invented lake right where my local drugstore is.

I'm curious how much the movement toward the mid-Atlantic states is the growth of federal government consulting jobs over the past 10 years.
