Does the CEO of JPMorgan Chase really deserve to make $20 million a year even as his bank has been in the center of multiple financial scandals ranging from its role in the Bernie Madoff scam to its handling of the infamous “London Whale” trade?

No one likes paying for cable, but the way the industry is currently situated, there’s no other way to (legally) have access to all the content you’re interested in. You might be able to get by on Netflix originals, Amazon exclusives and reruns on Hulu, but if you want to watch your favorite sports team or keep up with HBO’s Emmy-winning series, you need cable.
But that may not be the case 10 years from now.

The launch of Apple Maps was famously plagued by a number of frustrating bugs, including inaccurate mapping directions, Salvador Dali-esque satellite photos, and completely misplaced landmarks.
As a personal example which highlights Apple Maps’ quirky early behavior, I remember once instance where I used Apple Maps en route to a wedding only to wind up in a school parking lot. Thankfully I had Google Maps on standby and managed to get back on the right track.
