@MaAlterEgo She wouldn’t have got the money even if there was no bandh.
@nisheeth Would be happy if this succeeds in overthrowing her. Problem is that her vote-bank ain’t rich-enough to see maps on iPhones.
@nisheeth Right. But I don’t remember the river below the Howrah bridge ever running dry.
@nigelbabu Also @fake_iOS6maps.
@nisheeth Native app experience would be better, IMO.
@nisheeth OSM might be a better alternative —wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Apple_iOSm
@nisheeth Haha. I am sure @_karan is not allowed to comment on this disaster, and perhaps not allowed to empathise as well.
@nisheeth Adding to your home screen gives a sub-par performance. Ain’t good enough. To top that Google Earth isn’t on the Indian Store.
@nisheeth Well they’ve never really cared beyond the first world countries anyways. More: theamazingios6maps.tumblr.com
@nisheeth This, for a start. twitter.com/jackerhack/sta…
@nisheeth You are not in India. You need to see how bare the maps are for Indian cities. It’s all over twitter and web.
@nisheeth Maps. The only reason why I haven’t upgraded.
Had only expected lack of details, not this.

@GnrlMxms It ain’t all rosy though. :)

@s_shashank_s Never witnessed bandhs in Delhi like those in Calcutta (or even Blr). Grandma (from Cal) was so worried as I left home today.
@rohananeja Doesn’t look like it: ifixit.org/2753/macbook-p… @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja What! Are you saying that if your keyboard goes kaput your battery gets changed alongside? @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja Also chances are very high that you’d rather want to change your laptop after 3 years. 3 years is a long time. @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja Apple batteries since unibody MBPs are much better, mine is good even after 3 years. AppleCare doesn’t cover them. @VarunSPuri
@s_shashank_s Today. ndtv.com/article/india/…
@geohacker Not sure why the Google Earth app is not on the Indian Store. It could’ve helped. @s_shashank_s @gonsalves_r @jackerhack
@geohacker Sure Apple policies/approvals are a problem. But I also fear that Google could get tactical and try to leverage this on Android.
@vrinda_m And I had a smooth sail on the bus. No trouble with public transport. \m/
@rohananeja Also I hope you have purchased Apple Care. If not, do it ASAP. And, what makes you bothered about the battery? @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja Bad luck, I’d say. I had a similar bad luck with my last MBP, not with this one. @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja In fact I don’t recall any hyped Apple software this year. Only hardware — Retina MBP and a little on the iPhone 5.@VarunSPurii
@rohananeja There was never any hype. :S @VarunSPuri
I love bandhs in Delhi. It’s like the same Delhi with a lot fewer people on the streets.
@s_shashank_s Hope Google comes with an app & Apple doesn’t reject it, or Apple maps turns good enough. @gonsalves_r @geohacker @jackerhack
@s_shashank_s No maps far outweighs the little improvements that come with iOS 6. I’m not upgrading now. @gonsalves_r @geohacker @jackerhack
@jackerhack Oh lord! Did you upgrade?
@MaAlterEgo Don’t worry. Hardly anyone in India is pleased with iOS6.
@VarunSPuri Not worried about speed, but I am waiting for Google to come out with a maps app. And I hope Apple doesn’t reject it.
@VarunSPuri You upgraded? Hahahaha !
