The much anticipated iPhone 5 and iOS 6 release the in past weekend would have been Apple, Inc.’s biggest success if not for the Apple Maps issues that users soon discovered after using their brand new iPhone 5 devices or upgrading their existing Apple devices to iOS 6. Apple dropped Google as the data provider for the map App in favor of Tomtom and Yelp who are competing providers for mapping data. Numerous articles online are bashing Apple for the map issues citing incorrect or missing information, most notably on public transport, incorrect search results for addresses and ridiculous images of many popular structures. A lot of examples of the issues are found at http://theamazingios6maps.tumblr.com. So how does the Apple Map compare to the Google Map if you are in Bohol? Let’s put it this way: Apple Map is still in its infancy. Fortunately, we locals don’t rely on any map app otherwise we’d be seriously lost. Let’s hope the tourists tag along a tour guide, even if they are in Tagbilaran City where Apple Map’s best effort would show you major streets inaccurately. For example, J.A. Clarin Street suddenly ended somewhere near the junction of Tamblot Street, and that’s after cutting through several blocks of houses and buildings. New streets are drawn like Tagbilaran East read further towards the sea from V.P. Inting Avenue which is already the coastline read. T. Butalid Extension slices through the St. Joseph Cathedral and CPG East Avenue is no longer connected to CPG Avenue. Apple Maps version of a major intersection in downtown Tagbilaran. Streets are mislabeled and JA Clarin appeared to...

Printing colored documents used to be very expensive if the user wants to use original ink in order to ensure the highest print quality and durability. The cost of ink cartridges is simply too high for the average user. Many users have resorted to 3rd party ink refills or continuous ink systems in an attempt to reduce cost. Fortunately, Epson released a printer family with its own ink tanks and original ink bottles that changed the economics of ink based printing. Users who want to print high quality documents and photos will now enjoy the quality assurance that comes with Epson’s original ink tank system while keeping the costs down to less than Php1.00 per page for black and white prints. The L200 is a 3-in-1 printer and includes a high resolution 600×1200 dpi scanner and photocopier function in either black and white or color. The package includes 3 black ink bottles and 1 each for magenta, cyan and yellow. Out of the box, the included ink bottles is enough for 12,000 black and white prints. The L200 is the world’s first genuine ink tank system and it comes with a 1 year or 15,000 prints warranty from Epson. Because the printer is specifically designed for an ink tank system, it eliminated problems associated with printers retrofitted with 3rd party ink tank system like clogging, messy ink leaks and awkward ink tank attachments. We’ve been using the L200 for almost a month now and we’ve printed or photocopied hundreds of pages of documents. Our experience so far has been very satisfactory. The print quality is...
