Apple Maps was not a success. In fact, many people didn't update to iOS6 until the new native Google Maps app was available. However, many people assumed that Apple had made a mistake but The Onion have revealed it was all part of a bigger plan.

Travelling around London, especially on the Underground, can be stressful. So much so, there are websites dedicated to how much people hate it. But have you ever stopped and looked at the great things we can find in London's catacombs of commuting?

Towards the end of 2011 and early 2012, Facebook started rolling out Timeline with mixed reactions.

Fireworks in reverse
This week was kicked off with New Years Eve, the last day of 2012 and, of course, it happened with a bang. All around the world, people were watching fireworks in some form. Who would have thought they would look so good in reverse.
This video, uploaded by YouTube user jcltay, is of the fireworks from Melbourne, Australia... backwards. Put some funky, ambient electronica in the background and you have one mesmerising video.
One line portraits
Great design is often the most simple. Apple nearly took over the world with it's simple iPod/iPhone/iPad designs. Now, a member of Society6, Quibe, makes illustrations using just one line.
Amazingly, the minimal approach to his artwork gives the pieces a rather daunting and iconic feel. This guy knows when to stop.
