Select SF-area iPhones insist they’re in Boulder, Colorado

The iPhone’s iteration of Google Maps has been shown up time and time again by Google Maps Navigation on Android, but a quirk this big just has to be linked to some Skyhook database issue. According to a new report coming from NorCal, select iPhone users in southern San Francisco are seeing their GPS software linked to Boulder, Colorado, and the issue has been going on for around a week now. What’s curious is that the erroneous positioning affects other third-party iPhone GPS apps as well, and an ABC report notes that a “spokesperson at AT&T said the problem is with Apple.” So, have any of you SF-based iPhoners found yourself navigating to Folsom Stadium when trying to find your way to SoMa?

Digital Storm’s Davinci workstation gets down with Core i7-980X, Quadro graphics

Creative professional. Hear that much? If that’s how this all-too-structured world views you, you just might be due a new rig — particularly if you’re thinking of stepping into 4K territory. Digital Storm is offering up a rather unique solution in its Davinci, which opts for a 3.33GHz Core i7-980X Extreme Edition (yeah, that new Intel chip ) instead of a more traditional Xeon. You’ll still get an NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 (768MB) GPU, 12GB of DDR3 memory, Windows 7 Processional and one of the nicer liquid cooling systems that we’ve seen, which may or may not be enough to sneak a little Crysis in between edits. Too bad the base price base rings up at $4,995, but look, that next indie film you’re producing is totally hitting it big.
