Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From Fool Global Headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money. Thanks for being here. I'm your host, Chris Helen, joining

me in studio this week from Motley Fool Income Investor James Early and for Million Dollar

Portfolio, Charlie Travers, and Ron Gross. Gentlemen, good to see you here.

See you too. We have got a great show. We've got earnings from Nike and research and motion.

We have got an inside scoop on the Olive Garden that you will not want to miss and as

always we've got a few stocks on our radar. But just like last week, we begin again with

the biggest public company of them all and that's Apple. Apple sold more than 5 million

new iPhones during the opening weekend. On Monday, however, one of the big news stories was

about customer complaints about the new mapping program in the iPhone 5. Guys, it got so bad

that by Friday, CEO Tim Cook issued an apology saying, we are extremely sorry for the frustration

this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make maps better. James,

I'll start with you. Were you surprised that he issued this apology? I was surprised by the

emotion in the apology. Chris, I think that was interesting. The bigger story here, I think,

is that this is actually not a bad piece of software by general software standards. My wife

likes it over the Google actually. I mean, there are obviously problems. The Google map version.

But Steve Jobs ran Apple to such a high standard that even a pretty good piece of software is not

good enough. In other words, is Tim Cook thinking more like a businessman here than a perfectionist

showman? There's Apple as a business to Apple as an image. I don't think he's managing the

latter very well. Rob, what do you think? I tested out the app and it worked fine for me, but I'm

a bit of a navigation moron. So it's my bars kind of low. It's on your dating profile.
