Google Maps for iOS Now Live in App Store
In line with a report from just a few hours ago, Google's new
standalone Maps app for iOS [App Store] has just gone live in the App

new in-house Maps app the ability to switch back to Google's free

Google to Release iOS Maps App Tonight
AllThingsD reports that Google's highly anticipated iOS Maps app
is set to be released later tonight. When Apple stopped using Google
Maps in September with iOS 6, rumors immediately began that the search
engine giant would release its own Maps app into the App Store. Since
then, unhappy iOS users have been waiting patiently for the app, which
didn't seem like it was going to materialize, until tonight. Google
Maps for iOS will likely be a huge hit with iPhone users that have been
plagued with problems using Apple's built-in mapping solution. Apple has

includes turn-by-turn navigation, public transit directions, Google
local search and more. There are a number of features and tidbits that
come with Google Maps for iOS as well. Here's a selection. - Jesse

As Google Maps Humiliates Apple, The Silver Lining Is Millions Will Finally Upgrade To iOS 6
Apple is getting embarrassed right now as Google’s new iOS Maps
app shoots to the top of the charts. But there is one upside to the
beatdown. After three months of holding out to avoid Apple Maps, many
people are now upgrading to iOS 6 or an iPhone 5. Last night I watched
several people learn of the existence of Google Maps for iOS, and the
first thing they did was update their phones’ firmware.

Intel to acquire NVIDIA according to crazy rumors
In what sounds like one of the crazier rumors we’ve heard in a
long, long time, the folks from Intel might be preparing to acquire
NVIDIA. The mobile processing market is really getting competitive as of
late and this could give Intel the edge they so badly need. What’s even
crazier is the talk that Intel will make a switch at CEO and have
NVIDIA’s own take charge of the entire ship.

Zombies ate my garden—ch-ching! by James Roush

As near as I can tell, the gardening industry has overlooked a vast area
of marketing that has the potential to start a gardening revolution
among young folk and thus grow a new generation of gardeners in this
country. Following in the footsteps of a current wildly successful
television series, The Walking Dead, and alongside the frantic marketing

Homegrown and Homemade Lavender and Honey Caramels
Here’s a homemade holiday gift from the garden that there is
still time to make. It took me about an hour and a half to make the
caramel slab and I’ll probably be cutting and packaging individual
caramels until the second coming, but it will have been worth it. To say

sure.) It shouldn’t have been outside in such cold weather, but that’s
how they get you. And let’s face it, I can’t walk

THE SEED CATALOGS are arriving, and I’m getting organized. Step

left over are still not just viable, but also have sufficient vigor to
perform well start to finish? That’s the sort of “advanced” question I’m
wondering about now, after a little episode with a packet of leftover
collard seeds that I was feeling so smug about—a f
