Apple is reportedly planning an ad push for its Maps app. This follows Google Maps and Yelp.

    I think this is great news.

    Apple has been providing an amazing service for free for too long and they deserve to finally make some money.

      That’s a good point, but is it free? Can I use it without giving Apple any money, or do I need to have an Apple product to run it on?

        I’m pretty sure you can run maps on a hackintosh so I think you can run it without giving Apple any money.

      On top of the literal $100 billion a year they already make? The poor souls.

      Is that you, Tim?

      Can you please bring back the mini, at least every few years like the old SE? I missed my chance to buy one.

        Best I can do is the SE/30, in peach, tangerine, and cerulean.
