Applications that have a back or exit button only demonstrate the laziness of the developer who just ported over the UI from IOS wholesale and didn't care that Android doesn't have a deficiency in closing applications.
Bullshit. iOS apps do not close when you hit a back button. Not ever. You don't know what you are talking about. The one way to get out of iOS apps is the home button. Always.
Don't blame you Android app inconsistency on another platform that doesn't even have that problem.
I've got a Nexus S and Nexus 4, no maps instability on it what so ever. Either this is a problem with your setup or you've made it up.
Blaming it on the user, and saying he might be a liar. You're an extreme apologist. Android maps DOES crash for many people. It would be polite to educate yourself with a web search before calling people liars.
no, they don't. if you use android for more than 10s you understand that you just switch to whatever app you want, and let the OS manage the lifecycle of the application. go back to windows if you feel you need to exit an application.
It's a problem if the app in the background is using up cycles, polling the internet or doing other undesirable things.
i can't recall maps ever crashing.
Then you are a-typical. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen a lot to other people. It does.
So you want them all to work the same way and look the same way?
As far as quitting behaviour/interface? Of course! Duh!
Which Nexus? My Nexus 7 isn't locked in portrait.
As established elsewhere, phone, not tablet. Nexus 4 not 7.
Not on any of the 5 android devices I've owned since my G1. Perhaps it's user error.
Really? Blaming crashes on the user? You're an apologist. I've seen my friends Android crash whilst navigating more times than I've actually been in his car. He has to restart the phone to get it working again.
You're kidding? The back button is used to navigate the hierarchy within the app, then (on some apps) quits right out of the app, right back to the home screen? Like if a DOS app that quit of you pressed ESC too many times? Or a web browser that quit if you pressed back when you've already got back to your home-page on the web.
The vast majority of executive moves are publicised as if they were the choice of the exec. An awful lot of them are actually pushed rather than jump.
As this guy was a founder of Android Inc, and nothing is being said about hat he's going to do next, it seems most likely he either jumped, or something has happened within Google that makes his position no longer acceptable.
It *could* be that he's moving on to some secret project in Google. But Google aren't as secretive as Apple. They'd probably say at least what area he would be working in.
Persistent unread? WTF? This is why you don't create products by enacting user requests.
"Unread" is a flag meaning you have read something. There should be an option to remove the flag, in case you went into the item by mistake, and want to read later. But an option to say never mark it read, even though you might have read it? That makes no sense.
If you want a flag to mark the item for special consideration, that's a favourite. Or if you want it flagged for some other purpose, ask for that. But persistent unread? That makes no sense.
Justified text? Why? That makes it a little bit harder to read. The only point of justified text is to make the whole page look a more attractive design. But you're not trying to sell it to anyone else. It's a personal page.
I don't want a "coherent whole" whose entire purpose is to spy on every aspect of my online life. I used to value Google's services, and get excited when a new one came along. But after they started chaining everything to Google+, I decided enough was enough, deleted my consolidated account, and now avoid Google like the plague.
This isn't about assessing guilt or innocence of the crime. That will of course be established by the use of evidence in a court of law.
This is about assessing the truth or falseness of the claim of insanity. Insanity itself is not a crime, and therefore the rules are not the same as for crimes. He will never be convicted (or get off for that matter) for insanity. It would only be used to decide what balance of punishment or treatment should be applied in the case of a guilty verdict.
In some ways that is because iOS got a lot more right on its first try than Android did
Yes.
but there also seems to be a genuinely geeky love of experimentation to Android which rightly or wrongly seems missing from iOS.
Well I guess in part that's because iOS developers know they'll have to get it past an app store reviewer. I'm not saying that the reviewers actually filter out so many apps based on a non-standard or problematical UI, but the thought that they might keeps developers more focused on keeping with established conventions.
It also notes that the speech contained the phrase "Mission Accomplished" multiple times, and it was Cheyney that edited them out. But he didn't get the banner.
That still makes Bush and his speech writers idiots.

*I think I've only seen maps crash once. Ever. Honest.
I have a friend with an Android phone that he used for satnav. He's given me a lift in his car 3 times. I've seen it crash more than 3 times...
The average experience lies somewhere between our two anecdotes.
That's what the back button does.

If that's what you mean, that sounds really shit.
Android keeps the application in a "cached" state until another process needs the RAM, assuming that the user is likely to return to the application.
But it's not in a cached state, is it? It's in a running in the background state. Often slowing the device down.
You better hope the plan isn't to make Android more Chrome like then.

Actually mod abuse is lead by Googlers and Android fanboys.
...for now.
The initial concept of KDE was a Windows 95 copy. So it's hardly surprising it shares Windows annoyances.
OS X is a consumer OS. Personal use, SOHO, professionals. Enterprise? Not so much.
That's been my opinion the last coupe of years.

You admit you were horribly wrong, and that's why you couldn't cite your claims. OK.
iTunes does a backup of an iOS device every time you sync. What is missing?
In some ways that is because iOS got a lot more right on its first try than Android did
Yes.
but there also seems to be a genuinely geeky love of experimentation to Android which rightly or wrongly seems missing from iOS.

I'm not saying that the reviewers actually filter out so many apps based on a non-standard or problematical UI, but the thought that they might keeps developers more focused on keeping with established conventions.
OK, I accept your apology.
You gave up so soon.

So you are crying.
Have you started crying yet, or are you still throwing dummies out of the pram?
