Apple is crossing a Steve Jobs red line | Ken Segall

Google Maps is filled with ads and paid placements. It is one of the reasons I don't use that product, or much of anything Google makes. I wish that Apple would rid themselves of the advertising offerings they have entirely but I suspect that the advertising in the AppStore both makes a ton of money and is meaningful to app developers gaining audiences. Are Ads in Maps the same as an advertisement playing when I log into my computer? Absolutely not, but it is a slippery slope.
