Opt out of AT&T and Verizon from selling your personal informations.

From AT&T Customer Proprietary Network Information or CPNI page:

AT&T companies that provide telecommunications and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service (which permits VoIP customers to both send and receive calls to/from customers with traditional telephone/telecommunications service) would like to share your customer proprietary network information within the AT&T family of companies for our own marketing purposes, including using that information to offer you additional products and services.

You can opt out of this service by going to www.att.com/ecpnioptout.

If you’re Verizon customer, you can also opt out.

It is unclear if iPad users on Verizon are affected by this. Verizon would not allow users to register iPad on My Verizon. Verizon requires user to register to My Verizon before they can review their privacy settings.

Apple keeps improving iOS 6 Maps.

Apple keeps improving iOS 6 Maps as promised while detractors keep attacking on the issue.

Apple should have mentioned in the beginning that iOS 6 Maps is a work in progress. Just like a series, they’ll fix each episodes in post. As higher quality aerial photos and Digital Elevation Maps are added and processed, iOS 6 Maps 3D view will be improved. The same goes with the navigation feature of iOS 6 Maps.

Comparisons below.
