One thing he correctly points out is how much better Apple Maps would have been if Mr. Jobs were around. Apple Maps is too big of a blunder for Apple to contain its criticism.
- dasil003 14y agoIs it a blunder or was their hand forced? We can't know.
- SpikeDad 14y agoGarbage statement - both you and the NY Times article. Speculation from a position of ZERO information is stupid and transparently so. No one know why Apple rolled their own Maps and no one could possible know how different it would be if Steve was still alive. The only think I really know is that Apple is smarter than you or the NY Times.
- mikeash 14y agoHow, exactly, would Jobs have made it better? Would he have somehow made the Maps team overcome the inherently intractable obstacles they faced given their position? Would he have jumped in and single-handedly crafted excellent data? Would he have extended the use of Google Maps, despite the indications that this transition was forced on Apple? I keep seeing people say this, but I never hear anyone say exactly what he would have done to make it happen. People basically treat Jobs as magical fairy pixie dust that could be sprinkled on a project to make it awesome. As if Jobs never oversaw the production of anything bad.
