iOS 6 Dumps Google Maps

And YouTube too. It's part of the war that's been slowly intensifying between Apple and Google. So that the latest operating system launched by the Cupertino-based tech giant has been bundled with a map application developed by Apple itself.

I have to say that I find the standard view pretty crappy. Steve would probably have said that it sucks and I doubt he would have allowed it to go through as it is. Granted that the 3D option looks pretty nice. As the following pic of Gotham City confirms.

What's the next step? Apple going into search?

There, Google fixed it for ya. Else, it could have led you to the desert. When you think that Steve actually vowed to destroy Android...

Bad move from Apple. There was an easier solution.
