SocialTimes Local business review site Yelp has marked a pin in Apple’s answer to Google Maps.

The New York Times The new Apple-powered Maps app includes some other features that were not in the old version, like spoken turn-by-turn directions and Flyover, a feature that shows 3-D models of buildings in major cities. The colors in the Apple maps sparkle a bit more; zooming and panning is faster.

'Innocence of Muslims' Actress Cindy Lee Garcia Sues YouTube, Producer (AP) An actress who appears in the anti-Muslim film trailer that has sparked riots in the Middle East is suing the filmmaker for fraud and slander and is asking a judge to order YouTube to take down the clip. Cindy Lee Garcia's lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles claims the actress was duped by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man behind "Innocence of Muslims" who has been forced into hiding since its 14-minute trailer rose to prominence last week. Bloomberg The 14-minute trailer shows a fictional attack by Muslims on a Christian family, followed by an account of the origins of Islam depicting Mohammed as a womanizer. YouTube said in an emailed statement the company is reviewing the complaint. The Wall Street Journal Garcia first became involved with the film when she responded to an ad for a “historical Arabian Desert adventure film,” the document says. The film, titled “Desert Warriors” was later altered with anti-Islamic voice-overs, according to the suit.
