Motorola pokes fun at iOS 6 Maps, wants to prevent people becoming #iLost

By now, the vast majority of Android users -- no, make that people in the world -- have heard about Apple's new replacement for Google Maps in iOS 6. Proudly announced during their iOS 6 keynote, replacing Google Maps was another step away from using Google services for the Cupertino giant. Since the launch, much has been said about the maps, and their apparent lack of some key information within the maps themselves. 

We'll admit it. It makes us chuckle. As we sit here using our native Google Maps, more and more we see comments arising from iPhone owners, both new and old, slating iOS6 Maps. And now, Google owned Motorola is joining in on the fun. 

Looking for 315 E 15th in Manhattan? Google Maps on DROID RAZR M will get you there & not #iLost in Brooklyn.

Seen on the Motorola Mobility Google+ page, and on their Twitter page, the message is clear. While an obvious advertisement for their latest handset -- and perhaps the RAZR M's edge to edge screen, compared to the 'stretched' iPhone 5 -- rather than Google Maps itself, we wonder how long before the #iLost tag will catch on. Probably until Google releases a third-party Google Maps application into the iOS App Store, but until then, we can but chuckle away.

Protect your domain with People On My Lawn!

While the BlackBerry PlayBook makes for a fantastic professional grade tablet, it also is quite an excellent little gaming machine. Whether you have a few minutes to kill, or hours to spend waiting before your next important task, sometimes the best way to pass the time is with a great game. People On My Lawn is one of those games that can be picked up for a quick level of play, or played for hours trying to figure out how to pass the next level. What is great about this game is that unlike many others, some real thought is required, and a lot of trial and error goes into solving each level.

The concept is simple, destroy the human who is standing on your property, accomplishing this however is the difficult task. Your character, an alien, holds a rocket launcher that shoots rockets to destroy the human, and magnetic type pieces are used to create a track. There are red and blue pieces, each acting as opposite of each other, and creating guidelines for the rocket to follow. Each level starts off with the placement of one color, and you then need to use the opposite color to continue the track for rocket, but be careful with placement, a bit too high or low and you will send the rocket where you didn't expect.

Each level gets progressively harder, requiring more thought in the placement, and a lot more trial and error. Each time you miss it makes you want to get it the next time, and creates anticipation until the level is finally passed. For free, this game definitely keeps you entertained, and provides a fun yet challenging experience on your PlayBook.
