Ars readers talk back on mapping apps for iOS
If there's anything Ars readers like to talk about, it's (apparently)
mapping apps. And when it comes to iOS, there are plenty of opinions on
what constitutes the best app for different scenarios. On Friday, we
asked Ars readers to vote in a poll on which mapping app was their most
preferred under iOS 6—the distinction is important thanks to Apple's

Google, It’s Time to Get Serious About Tablet Apps!
It’s been exactly one year since I bought an Android tablet and
throughout this year, I have enjoyed setting it up, using
it, evangelizing the 7″ form factor and watching Android tablets rise in
popularity with Google’s official endorsement of the Nexus 7 and the
Nexus 10 later on. The iPad had dominated the tablet market for quite
some time, but it seems as though Android tablets are finally gett

Smart seed porn—with a message by Elizabeth Licata
Despite the fact that I have no intention of growing any plants from
seeds—not in this garden, anyway—I love a good seed catalog. Baker Creek
is one of the classics. Over 200 pages long, the bulk of the book is
devoted to vegetables, with much smaller sections on flowers and herbs,
some gifty booky stuff, a few announcements of events I might attend if I
lived in California, and essays. My one q
