<p>Apple’s mea culpa for its half-baked, mistake-riddled Maps app reportedly continued Tuesday with the firing of the manager in charge of the service.</p>

<p>Richard Williamson, whose title is “Vice President, iOS Platform Services,” was let go by Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior VP of Internet software and services. Cue was tasked with overseeing Apple Maps after iOS boss Scott Forstall abruptly left the company in October. </p>

<p>Mea culpa? Does that mean “too little and too late” in Latin? Or “Let’s call Guh Guh Google!” :)</p>

<p>Does this actually mean that I will be able to update my iPhone’s OS soon? :D</p>

<p>It’s called cutting off your nose to spite your face. Apple is so petty about denying Google revenue from maps and YouTube that Apple rejects Google’s free products that are vastly superior to what Apple can make. Stupid business decision by Tim Cook but Jobs probably would have made the same mistake. Getting locked in the Apple eco system is not for me.</p>
