...Google Maps app, for instance, is genius. It incorporates 360-degree views of urban streets, plus an innovative compass mode that shifts the onscreen image depending on how you hold the device.

Before you ask, “Why O’Reilly?,” it’s important to understand something about each of the people in the above list: they...
