5 Free Alternatives to Apple IOS 6 Maps

Apple’s newest iteration of its mobile operating system, IOS 6, just released and you’ve rushed to download it. The new performance upgrades, Facebook integration, and the brand spanking new Apple Maps application all entice you to upgrade. Remember what the wise man said about fools rushing in? The general consensus around the interwebs is that the IOS 6 Maps applications is sorely lacking in comparison to the previous Google Maps powered app. It’s pretty but user experience and functionality have both been downgraded.

So the big news in iPhone apps was that Flipboard was now available. While everyone was salivating to get their hands on Flipboard to the point of crashing the download server I was like “huh?” I had no idea what Flipboard was.

Gaga Goes Au Natural

Lady Gaga covers the upcoming Harper’s Bazaar Magazine without makeup. That in itself isn’t really post worthy. Many celebrities have done something similar. It may be eye-catching that the always heavily and outrageously made up Gaga is doing it too but then again not really. It’s not even prompted by the irony of them making a point to say she’s wearing no make up yet the images are more than likely touched up via photoshopped and some sort of make up applied anyway, you know for the lights and stuff.

Honey Treats Coughs Better Than Drugs

A new study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine shows what your grandparents or great grandparents already knew, that honey helps to soothe coughs and does it better than drugs. The use of honey as medicine goes further back than the ancient Egyptians who used honey for all sorts of purposes. Aside from its nutritive and cough benefits it tastes much better too. Now we just have to stop knowingly killing the bees with pesticides so that they can be there for us. People have become more concerned with the effects of toxic chemical drug combinations that...
