What's More Impressive?

May 15, 2012 | by: Kicking Lettuce

It's a game seven, you're on the road, and a tie game starting the fourth quarter.  What do you do? Sit down all five starters, of course.  Including your two superstars.  It's time to let the bench win the game for you.  And that's exactly what the L.A. Clippers did in Memphis this past weekend as the bench created and maintained a 10 point lead virtually the entire quarter.  Despite the criticism, you have to give coach Vinny Del Negro credit for making this gutsy move (and sticking with it).


Not to be out done by the Clippers in a single game, over in the NHL, the L.A. Kings entering the playoffs in the lowest seed possible (8th), has now defeated the #1 seed, #2 seed and is up on the #3 seed.  What's more impressive is their 9-1 record in the playoffs, and absolutely incredible 6-0 record on the road.  Again, we are talking about the 8th seed.  Nobody saw this coming.

Google Maps vs. iOS

May 15, 2012 | by: Kicking Lettuce

It's interesting that Apple will choose to remove Google Maps in their next iOS iteration.  Is this more evidence of their treacherous, monopolizing ways?  Probably not.  It's a good business move--as long as their own mapping service is equal to or better than Google's.


What will be interesting to see is if they allow Google Maps as a third party add on in their own App Store.  Will they give Google the ultimate snub? or allow their users to have options?  Google does provide Bing Maps in the Play Store for those (for whatever odd reason) that prefer it above their own software.  So it's time to see if Apple cares more about their customers--or their business strategy.
