Apple's first update after Iphone 5 release

12:46

Apple has started to roll out the first updates to its Maps application, starting with the restoration of some major New York City landmarks.

The missing Statue of Liberty, which presumably was visiting friends and family back in France, is now safely back on American soil according to Apple Maps' updated 3D satellite imagery.

Also, the once hopelessly-distorted Brooklyn Bridge now appears in all its majestic glory, in the ongoing, but unannounced updates.

The 3D Flyover feature for Apple Maps was touted as one of the headline features of the new offering but has been subject to ridicule since the app's launch within iOS 6 in mid-September.

Glaring omissions

It is, of course, wise for Apple to tackle the most glaring omissions to the Maps app first as they have been subject to the greatest level of mickey-taking.

However, there remains huge amount of work to be done before the product meets the expectations of Apple fans and the company itself.

Last week Apple CEO Tim Cook made an unprecedented apology in which he admitted the company "fell short" on its commitment to deliver the best experiences for its users.

Now New York is on the way to being fixed, perhaps Apple could work on removing the omnipresent cloud cover, currently enshrouding the whole of England?

Amazon moves into social gaming

11:41

Not content with dominating the market for online retail, Amazon is trying its hand at making videogames, starting with Living Classics for Facebook.

It's not exactly Call of Duty -- the game asks you to help reunite foxes who've got lost in stories like Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island andthe Wizard of Oz. To do that, you merely need to click on moving objects in a scene -- of which there are plenty, and quests to complete too. You can give it a try over on Facebook.

Amazon answers the question of "why are you making games?" in a blog post. The company wrote: "We know that many Amazon customers enjoy playing games -- including free-to-play social games -- and thanks to Amazon's know-how, we believe we can deliver a great, accessible gaming experience that gamers and our customers can play any time."

The company has been recruiting for developers for its game studio for some time, but will continue to hire new staff to create more games in the future. (If you're interested, Amazon invites you to drop them an email at game-careers@amazon.com.)

Elsewhere, the company recently opened an office in London focusing on R&D and developing services and APIs for televisions, games consoles, PCs and smartphones.
