[LMAO!] Apple fires Maps Director LOL

[ANDROIDISM]

Further consequences of the disaster that is called iOs6

Apple Inc. has fired the manager responsible for its troubled mapping software, seeking to win back the trust of users disappointed after the program debuted in September, according to people familiar with the move.
Richard Williamson, who oversaw the mapping team, was pushed out by Senior Vice President Eddy Cue, said the people, who asked not to be named because the information wasn't yet public. Cue, who took over last month as part of a management shakeup, is seeking advice from outside mapping-technology experts and prodding digital maps provider TomTom to fix landmark and navigation data it shares with Apple.
While Apple's map program doesn't appear to have hurt sales of the iPhone 5, it was a rare public misstep that forced Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to apologize to customers.

“Early success for the iPhone 5 smartphone has helped Apple to overtake Google’s Android software in the United States, research firm Kantar WorldPanel said on Tuesday,” Tarmo Virki reports for Reuters.
“Apple’s U.S. market share in the 12 weeks to October 31 more than doubled from a year ago to 48.1 percent, putting it within reach of the record 49.3 percent it managed in early 2012,” Virki reports. “Android’s share dropped to 46.7 percent from 63.3 percent, Kantar WorldPanel’s data showed.”

“Kantar says that 62% of all iPhone 5 sales in the U.S. were from existing Apple owners upgrading, with 13% coming from Android switchers, 6% from BlackBerry, and a ‘small number’ of first time smarphone owners,” Ingrid Lunden reports for TechCrunch. “The latter is a very key segment and one that all handset makers should be targeting as penetration of early adopters nears saturation.”

Lunden report, “Loyalty will continue to serve Apple well: Kantar Worldpanel Analyst Dominic Sunnebo says that ’92% of existing Apple owners in the US said they will choose an iPhone the next time they upgrade.’”
