Weekly Highlights: iOS 8 Maps Strike Back, Dreaming Of Tim Cook's Retirement And More

Depending on who you are and what you love, this may not have seemed like an overly eventful week. After all -- if you don't love Twitter TWTR, you may not have cared that it went down. But if you do love the social network, this week might have seemed like a nightmare. The same could be said for Time Warner's TWX HBO Go, which went down at a horrible time. But if you're not an HBO subscriber (or someone who mooches off a family member who subscribes), the outage probably doesn't matter. Apple's AAPL news and rumors were a bit more mainstream, as they have the potential to impact greater number of individuals. Elsewhere, Yahoo YHOO and Yelp YELP teamed up for a new search deal. Carl Icahn continued his eBay NASDAQ crusade. And Samsung SSNLF introduced a new music service that sounds like a dairy product. Disclosure: At the time of this writing, Louis Bedigian had no position in the equities mentioned in this slideshow.
