NASA And Motorola Poke Fun At iOS 6, Learn How To Get Google Maps Back On Your iOS Device
“This isn’t the only company making fun off iOS 6 though. NASA’s own Curiosity Rover claimed that he was updated to iOS 6 and was now in Norway! What a terrible coincidence. Here’s the CuriosityRover’s entire tweet: NASA HAVE UPDATED ME TO iOS 6. APPARENTLY I’M NOW IN NORWAY.”
Keith’s note: There is clear confusion between the official NASA Twitter account @MarsCuriosity and the spoof Twitter@MarsCuroisity – this author attributes a tweet from the parody Twitter to one made by NASA’s official Twitter account. Between a slight change in spelling and nearly identical design, its easy to be confused – at first – until you actually read the tweets, that is. Some of the stuff is funny. Too bad they have to use the F-word in almost every tweet – rather lazy and uncreative.

    Curiosity: IOS 6 ROCKS! NOW I HAVE 3D VIEW TO HELP ME NAVIGATION THE LANDSCAPE AND TURN BY TURN TO HELP ME FIND MY AWAY AROUND. SO, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET LOST UNLIKE GOOGLE MAPS WHICH DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY OF THESE FUNCTIONALITIES (IPHONE VERSION).
