Can you guess what the top 10 Google searched for 2015 are?

That’s right, folks, here’s where we see exactly how we look in the 2015 Google mirror. What were Americans most interested in finding out more about this year?

 

Lamar Odom. It’s Lamar Odom. We didn’t want to waste any more time on peaking your curiosity on that one. Donald Trump was the most searched for American Politician. Add in Charlie Sheen, Kylie Jenner’s lips, Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy, What to pack for Cancun, and What is zero divided by zero for the most searched for items in different categories and it’s looking pretttttty bleak.

 

Thank goodness for other categories, saved by Stephen Curry, The Golden State Warriors, Why do dogs wag their tail, Better call Saul, and Sangria.

 

Sangria for the win!

Until December 31st, 2015, customers who purchase a new iPhone 6s via the AT&T Next financing program will receive a credit of $650, the cost of a new 16 GB iPhone 6s, spread over the life of the Next financing installments. (NB – you are responsible for taxes and service fees).

Apple Planning March Event!

 

What’s next, Apple?

 

We’ve placed our hand on the oddly shaped crystal ball in our secret clairvoyant cave, and here’s what it told us:

 

Apple will be holding a Special Event in March to announce a 2nd generation Apple Watch which will ship most likely in April.

 

The new model will possibly have a list of new health measurement features that were not up to par for the first Gen Apple Watch, as well as a front facing Facetime camera and the ability to do more without needing a connection to an iPhone

 

At the same media event it is rumored that Apple will announce an iPhone 6C, a cheaper and smaller 4 inch iPhone.

 

Our crystal apple is also telling us that they will unveil a magnificent line of teleportation devices, but I think it might have gotten it’s dates wrong. That’s so 2033, crystal ball. Geez. Can’t trust any future telling device these days.

 

 

 

 

Apple Maps for the win?

mapmap

 

Do you use Apple Maps or Google Maps on your phone? Of course, when it first came out, users were pretty sore about Apple maps usability and, uh, navigational errors, but things have changed people! Apple has made some major improvement up in Maps!

 

But you might already know that, if you have an iPhone. Apparently, Apple Maps is now used three times more than Google Maps on iPhone.

 

They’re looking at over 5 billion map related requests per week.

 

When we’re looking at all smartphones, however, lots of people are still sticking with our ol’ buddy Google Maps, which has two times more users than Apple Maps. A lot of this though could be  because Apple Maps is only available on iOS while Google Maps is available on both Android and iOS.

 

Which Maps do you prefer to use?

The Future of Television

Want to know what the future of television is? Boy, we sure do. We hope it’s something to do with virtual reality and kittens. And puppies.

 

Here’s what Apple thinks it is, via their Ad, aptly named ‘The Future of Television’. We think they’re thinking much more short term, much more focused around the new Apple TV, and far less about small, young, animals.
