didn't this happen last time? they make and ship these so fast that the glues haven't even had a week to set. apple then issues a statement saying no biggie, wait a bit and it will go away.

"Apple is using a bonding agent called Organofunctional Silane Z-6011 to bond the layers of glass. Apparently, Apple (or more likely Foxconn) is shipping these products so quickly that the evaporation process is not complete. However, after one or two days of use, especially with the screen on, will complete the evaporation process and the yellow “blotches” will disappear. How do I know? I was involved in pitching Z-6011 to Apple."
- well, i hope for the guys with that screen blurp problem that it will go awaybenfal99

The issue in Australia is that Apple Maps are tagging council areas, which in regional areas can be very large, and occasionally share a name with a town they contain. In this case, searching for Mildura picks up the Mildura Rural City Council instead of the town. The marker for it is simply in the centre point of the council area. I'm not saying that's not a big problem, it is, but it's a different issue from "it's in the wrong place".
What's more interesting though is the idiocy of those who got lost. Mildura is a riverside holiday town, and I'd hazard to guess anyone going to Mildura would be well aware of that fact (otherwise, why are you going there?). It's clearly not going to be down endless dirt roads into the middle of nowhere.
Worse, if you look at where Apple Maps takes the wrong left turn, it's in the town of Ouyen. Not 100m before the intersection is this clearly labelled sign showing the direction to Mildura.

"What Apple has done with #iOS6 maps is like planning a mission to outer space and NOT TALKING TO NASA," tweeted tech-loving comedian Baratunde Thurston, a former digital director for The Onion.

The whole western world loves watching success/talent fail - it makes the average person feel better about their humdrum existence.

This is looking bad. Probably the only thing with Apple, except for Final Cut X, that is legitimately worth me complaining about.
