Click to focus is absolutely the right thing to do. I once had to use a Unix desk top environment that gave focus to whichever window the mouse pointer was over. It was a disaster: I would be typing an email, find the mouse pointer was in the way, move it, continue typing and find my my email in a source code editor.
I really hated it to have a window in the background, just perfect where it was to check its content, and then to have to carefully navigate the mouse pointer around it so it wouldn't pop up, thus having to re-stack the other windows for work.
in android it is trivially easy. Just a checkbox in settings asking if you want to be allowed to install from unauthorized sources (in other words, not google play).
Is that a step towards the convergence of OS X and iOS?
How long before macOS be stuck with a walled garden in which we can't install non-approved "apps"?
Well, that has been predicted since before iOS even existed. Still hasn't happened yet. Maybe it's time for you to hold your breath until it does, that'll help.
You are right, Windows 1.0x, 2.03, 2.1x, 3.00, 3.10, 3.11, 3.2, NT 3.5x, 4.00, NT 4.0, 4.10. NT 5.0, 4.90, NT 5.x, NT 6.x (with each x actually a completely new Windows) and finally NT 10 - that's so much better than 10.x.y.
I especially like how sometimes there are 2 digits behind the period, and sometimes just one.
I think what bothers me the most is how there is no mention of any competing platform that has had this feature for, say, 2 years now at least?
Well, that's because Android users are never in any danger and thus don't need to call an ambulance ever. Because Google keeps them safe with all they know about them.
Difference is an Android developer doesn't have to pay Google 30% if they don't want to
Exactly. They can chose to pay Amazon 30%. Or go to a store that only offers free apps - all of nothing! Or have their app distributed by a pirate store, where they don't have to pay anything no matter what the app costs there.
Yeah, it certainly can't be that most new smartphone buyers actually replace their ageing dumb- or feature phone and uses it just like the old one. IOW without "apps"
Again they ruin the prices for the hard working competition. Will Amazon again call in the DOJ like they did when Apple ruined their sweet 60% cut deal for Kindle self published books?
No you were the idiot claiming " Apple just repackages other people's ideas" - No wait, you claimed that Intel claimed that, adding another layer of stupid to your stupid sandwich.
Who had the idea for Lightpeak? Was it entirely Apple? You try to claim that Lightpeak was entirely Apple's idea, when it is much less clear. Intel invented Lightpeak, Apple and Intel developed Thunderbolt.
Perhaps you shouldn't act like such a delicate flower when someone challenges you?
Idiot.
If you call Apple somebody who "repackages other people's ideas" because they didn't do all development of Lightpeak themelves , what do you call everybody else, Bozo?

Considering how bad your macOS fiction is, no thanks.
It exists; it's Command-C / Command-Option-V, as it has been for many years now.
But he wants to move files - so when something goes wrong, they get lost.

IOW, the average Android user can't sideload.

They should have stuck with "names of cats"
macOS Sylvester - with Siri? And a Tweety client?
Facts actually say you're wrong. Android is on the upward slope; iOS is slowly dropping.
Is there a particular reason why you posted data a year old? That doesn't even show what you claim?
FYI, it did not have the look and feel of the LG Prada, and the Prada was revealed just a couple of months before the iPhone.
Actually, the official reveal was a few days after the iPhone - but who's counting. http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Prada-phone-officially-announced_id1739
I guess the golden Apple age is really over.
Woz keeps praising lots of stuff. Including Apple gear. Apple must be doomed.
It was dark and she'd dropped the phone.
Actually, she was doing CPR on her daughter. Can you manually call an ambulance on your magic non-iPhone while doing CPR on a person?
Wow, so APK did create an account.
So you admit you are actually APK - figures.

Well, I'm joking
Welch used his phone's "OK Google" feature to search heart attack symptoms.
"I touched a link and up came a list of symptoms. I was realizing that I had all of these symptoms," Welch said.
So with Siri you call an ambulance, and with Google you search for the symptoms of a heart attack. Minor difference there.
But would she have done so in public?
You win "dumbest post". Infinite times in a row. Your mother must be proud.
I was pointing out that contrary to what macs4all (a Apple troll) posted, Apple didn't invent Thunderbolt, Intel did.
He didn't claim Apple invented it. You however basically claimed Intel claim Apple stole. You are looking dumber with each post, Bozo.
Some apps have offered subscriptions for some time now, e.g. https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/lumosity-mobile/id577232024?mt=8 or https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/instapaper/id288545208?mt=8
Like hell I'm going to "subscribe" to an app.
Yeah, this "World of Warcraft" thing will never catch on.

Jack can handle them -- two rubber bands, one paperclip, and a crumpled gum wrapper
He needs to grow a mullet first.
