Android before the iPhone was like Blackberry, nothing like what it ended up being. They supposedly did eventually have a long term goal of making a touch screen version, but that would have been after (my speculation) YEARS of the BB-like phone... Seeing the iPhone changed their goal to abort the BB-like phone and go towards the 2nd goal originally.
Then either I worded my question poorly, or you shouldn't've answered "yes" to my previous question whether that was actually ad hoc networking or not.
Thanks, then I'm confused by your comment of "but so far it's never made it into a production environment that I know of".
Because I have used ad hoc wifi networks between computers, and until I found a better way (through iTunes), using it to copy stuff to VLC on my iPad (since through my main wifi network was less reliable, since the devices were next to each other).
It's called journalistic prose numbnuts, this isn't an academic paper, nobody gives a shit about run-on sentences in the real world.
Some of us try to communicate, instead of just blathering. Communicating means that the other person can easily read what we are saying. Run-on sentences and grammatical errors hinder that communication.
(For example: should Firefox on MacOS look like a MacOS app, or look like Firefox for Windows or Linux?)
That's part of why I can't like/get used to ANY of the third party browsers enough to use them, even if I like their feature set. Even when they ape the "'local' UI guidelines", they're still using their own code, instead of the built in UI from the OS. So even when it looks VERY similar, it doesn't look exactly right, and even worse, usually behaves far different (e.g. things like control tracking don't work the way you expect).
I did use iCab a long long time ago, mostly because it was far faster at the time and I used the various per-page filtering a lot more (e.g. only load images for some pages). Then Safari caught up with it in terms of general speed/the network got fast enough that I didn't care to turn off images, and nowadays, Safari plugins provide a lot of the configurability that's not built in to Safari.
Don't get me wrong, over the years, Safari has committed some of the same "against the rest of the OS' UI" inconsistency crimes, but many have since _become_ part of the regular UI.
Apps *do* have "back" buttons, when you go down into another layer. In some instances, it's closer to a submenu (arguably Settings in some ways).. Or it's just another page of the UI. This has always been true in iOS.
e.g. open Podcasts, press on a specific podcast -> now you're in the list of podcast episodes for that specific podcast The upper left button is 'back'...and again, this has always been true in iPhone apps.
There's no "back" button from the top level of an app, as has been mentioned, but that's leaving the app, and that would be really weird.
What is the $100/month you talk about? Is that (optional) battery replacement insurance? I didn't see mention of it when doing a 'build/price' a car at nissanusa.com, though I didn't go all the way to submit...and while I'm against subsidies, at least currently, you should take the $7500 federal + state tax rebates into question when doing the actual price comparison. Yes, they will eventually go away. But if you give me $5 for something, and I or someone else gives you $1 because you bought that, your effective cost is $4..
So for me, it's closer to $20K (not including sales tax).
Do you very often need to drive more than your car can take you IN ONE SITTING?
In other words, if you charge at home (even without a higher power charger, though without the high power charger is obviously more applicable for a Leaf) overnight, then your car will always be full of "gas", and you won't need to recharge it.
1) It's not an hour with the Tesla superchargers. 2) Couple hundred miles? How far do you get on your gasoline powered car, and how long do you go THAT FAR without stopping?
Do you think Toyota Corollas and such are ugly too?
I do like the look of some cars better than others, of course, but don't see anything horrible about the Leaf for example. I haven't done a direct comparison, but the electric Fiat looks very similar if not identical to the gas Fiat.
Technically true, but aren't streaming services (and payments for them) likely part of "the standard contract" new artists sign? Yes, if there's a standard contract, there's a non-standard contract too, but of course not all artists could get special contract stipulations for them.
Basically, if an artist wants to be in the big leagues (and yes, there is another article I have open in another tab about amateur musicians destroying the professional music biz), they're likely to sign, so in effect, they are going to be on Spotify.... aren't they?
BTW, it probably sounds like I'm saying this is a bad thing. I'm not.
A closer analogy is horoscopes being "accurate". People seeing the patterns that match and forgetting everything else.
Nova and other PBS shows have done episodes on dogs in the last few years, and one bit I remember is about dogs "looking guilty". That's simply a reaction to the person's behavior (likely mostly tone of their voice), and has nothing to do with if the dog actually did anything or not.
I don't know very much about the Dyson vacuum (seems silly and overpriced to me), but do you think Edison (and his workers) had no idea what he was doing either? He went through tons of prototypes to find a light bulb that would work.

The comment below yours says *shipped". Sold != shipped.
We don't care how many are in stores, we care how many were actually bought by end customers.

Is "wireless ad hoc networking" the same as what you're referring to, or at least a subset thereof?

I have to wait for a taxi, or travel to the nearest bus stop or starting/ending point for some other public transportation.
I want to go where I want to go _now_, from _here_. That's why people have their own cars.

In iOS 7, you can turn off AMBER Alerts. Settings -> Notification Center -> scroll to bottom.. Toggles for AMBER Alerts and Emergency Alerts.
1) cmd-click to open it in a new tab
2) switch to that tab
3) cmd-shift-R to view it in Reader mode
-> voila, single 'page' article.
Simpsons did it first.

A used Prius?
Comparing a new car to a used car doesn't seem to be like a fair comparison.
Do you very often need to drive more than your car can take you IN ONE SITTING?
In other words, if you charge at home (even without a higher power charger, though without the high power charger is obviously more applicable for a Leaf) overnight, then your car will always be full of "gas", and you won't need to recharge it.
Plus, it'll be cheaper per mile than gas/diesel.
1) It's not an hour with the Tesla superchargers.
2) Couple hundred miles? How far do you get on your gasoline powered car, and how long do you go THAT FAR without stopping?
Do you think Toyota Corollas and such are ugly too?

Don't get me wrong. Dogs are awesome and cats suck. ("The worst thing about a kitten is that it grows up into a cat.")
I think "understand" is exaggerating it.

Of course you apparently have never heard of patent licensing.
Diet Tab is redundant.
