Apple Maps Are Dangerous

There have been many controversies following the release of Apple's Maps, piles of complaints have been made by the public and improvements are yet to be seen. Recently a couple of drivers were supposedly 'guided' to Mildura, in Australia, but ended up 70km away from the actual location; and were left without any food or water for 24 hours. Police have described the piece of software as 'life-threatening' due to the fact that the maps are so inaccurate.
Tim Cook, the chief executive, admitted that they have "screwed up" and promised that the maps app will be seeing an update in the near future. 
A senior sergeant, Sharon Darcy, who works for Victoria Police stated "Tests on the mapping system by police confirm the mapping system lists Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, approximately 45 miles away from the actual location of Mildura." The temperatures in the park can reach 46 degrees in the height of summer, therefore police are extremely concerned about the public's welfare because there is no water supply close by. Travelers have been advised to use a different mapping software for the time being, otherwise there could be some serious incidents involving Apple Maps.

Many people want Apple to Bring Google Maps back to iOS so they can be sure they're not heading in the wrong direction. The tech giants need to publish an update before the start of 2013, or many customers may loose interest. Be sure to use Apple Maps with care, or you might end up driving to the North Pole.

The Winner Of X-Factor 2012...

The X-Factor is a British television music competition to find new singing talent, contested by singers drawn from the public auditions. This show was created by Simon Cowell as the show began in September 2004 and has since aired annually from August/September through to December.

After months and months of the singing competition, it has all come down to this... It was out of Jahmene Douglas or James Arthur to win the final of the X-Factor and I am glad to say that James Arthur was the lucky winner of the X-Factor and has since been celebrating his victory.

In fact, James received most of the public votes from Sunday’s final and because of his win, James has won a recording contract and his first ever single! James has recently said: “I don’t believe it... I've just got to say thank you to the people who voted for me!”

Personally I wanted James to win as he is a great and a worthy young man who will hopefully become very popular in the music industry later on in the years to come. However, at the same time I think that both men were just as good as each other. So I congratulate them both on getting that far.

Well done James, the very best of luck for the future. 

Will The World End On The 21st Of December 2012?

There are many different theories going around about the world ending on the 21st of December. Here are some of the theories.

Mayan Calendar Theory:

Mayan Calendar

The Mayan Calendar is a 5,125 year 'Long Count' that ends on the 21st of December 2012. Most people aren't taking this lightly and are ready for the Apocalypse. Some Americans have bought guns, supplies and shelters to ride out the Apocalypse. But this calendar has nothing what-so-ever to do with our calendar and probably won't symbolise the end of the world.

Sagittarius A*

Galactic Alignment Apocalyptic Theory:

There is a number of alignment theories which could mean the end of the world. One of the theories is that when the galactic alignment apocalyptic occurs, where the sun is in between the earth and Sagittarius A* a massive black hole in the centre of our galaxy, on December 21st, it would create great havoc on Earth like earthquakes, Tsunamis etc. But this has already happened in 1988 and nothing happened.


Solar Flares + Weak Magnetic Field Theory:

Another theory is that a geomagnetic reversal or a pole reversal will be triggered by solar flares, brief eruptians of radiation from the sun's surface, and it would release the same amount of energy as 100million atomic bombs. This theory is supported by the fact that scientists observing the magnetic field have noticed that it has been getting weaker and weaker. This could precede a reversal of the North and South magnetic fields and the arrival of the next solar maximum, which is expected sometime around 2012.

Most scientific estimates, however, say that geomagnetic reversals take between 1,000 and 10,000 years to complete and do not start on any particular date.


There have been many theories this year of the world ending but none have them have actually happened so what's to say that this one won't be true? In my opinion I think that it won't happen, and that people shouldn't be worried.
