MapQuest is Back, This Time With an Atlas

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 10:00 AM

"MapQuest, in its drive to get on people's radars again, is launching an interactive atlas that combines MapQuest maps with an array of geographic, cultural and climate data."

I guess they never really left, but just got left behind in the Google Maps dust. They are back now though, and have come out with an Atlas. The interface is pretty simple, and gives you basic facts about any country you click on (or touch on if you are using your iPad), all gleaned from the CIA's World Factbook [link]. It's a nice, albeit simple, addition to the MapQuest line.

You MacBook Price is Relative

"While researching MacBook Pros, the folks at cmyplay produced an infographic charting the relative prices of MacBook Pros around the world. The variation is amazing."

I know the graphic is pretty large, but it sure shows the disparity in pricing depending on where you buy. Hong Kong is the cheapest, followed by the US and then up from there (of course exchange rates at the time of this article may have changed altering some of these prices but you get the idea). Brazil is the highest priced but as they say in the article, there are other factors such as import duties and sales taxes at play more so here than anywhere else that Apple sells their products. It is an eye-opening comparison though isn't it?
