it's Thursday December 13 2012 I'm Michael Shane I'm throwing my hat in the ring to be the next Secretary of State and this is 90 seconds on the verge google maps for iphone is finally available the native app has been hotly anticipated in the wake of Apple switching to its own controversial Maps client with iOS 6 it's fast the design is clean and elegant and it's not entirely unlike the new gmail app for iOS unfortunately there's no offline caching at the moment there's also no iPad app but Google promises that will come later stop us if this sounds familiar but Apple might really truly maybe be building a TV someday that's according to The Wall Street Journal which says Apple was working with sharp and Foxconn to test various designs however the report is careful to note that this isn't a formal project yet Apple CEO Tim Cook has upgraded Apple TV from a hobby to quote an area of intense interest again finally Pope Benedict the 16th is now using Twitter his first tweet is a blessing sent earlier this week via ipad and it's been retweeted about 60,000 times so far but the Pope didn't stop there with an assortment of tweets providing both inspirational quotes and a series of conversation starters on how to have faith in the modern age it's only a matter of time before he joins in on trending topics like hashtag something I get a lot spoiler probably nice hat that's it for today's top stories tune in tomorrow when we take a culinary tour of Middle earth and find out once and for all if Orkney is kosher
