    There’s no escaping it: It looks and acts a lot like Google’s Knowledge Graph.

    Today on Google is a special logo, aka Google Doodle, for Ada Lovelace. Ada Lovelace was born 197 years ago today and invented the first algorithm or computer program in 1842. That means she invented the first program 170 years ago! In her very short life of 36 years she was able to see the […]

  • Australian Police Tell iPhone Users Not To Rely On Apple Maps

    This is a bit of bad PR: Macrumors reports that Australian police have warned iPhone owners in that country not to rely upon Apple Maps due to “safety concerns.” According to a local police statement: Mildura Police are urging motorists to be careful when relying on the mapping system on the Apple i-phones operating on the iOS […]
