Several news items or bits of information I find quite interesting.
First up is a story on Apple's Maps App in their iOS devices and the apparent internal problems inhibiting improvement. Let this story stand as a warning against having too many cooks in the kitchen and a poor execution on vision.

Next is a story about Amazon expanding its services offerings to include payments online, moving in to space currently held mostly by PayPal.

Finally is a story about a Chinese Telecom that is moving on NFC adoption. Could we see a backflow of demand as China begins using NFC and it flows back to the United States that could see inevitable adoption? Or is NFC truly dead in the U.S.?
