Hello strawman!

And it's people like you who never push the status-quo, aim for perfection, or desire anything greater.

Hmmm, I guess your anecdote beats mine for no reason at all.

About as carefully as the iPhone 4, which is not at all. Old non-existant issue was never an issue, and I'm someone who has a great appreciation for Android and Windows phones.

I add EVERY app I use to my Facebook (because I have no privacy paranoia, and I am not embarrassed by who I am or what I do, I still curate which photos are uploaded/tagged and don't post stupid status updates) and the only one that really annoys me with how it posts is FourSquare.

He didn't elaborate because it is painfully obvious that this data was publicly available and Apple had not revealed something to anyone who cared.

In OSX there are multiple desktops called Spaces. When you fullscreen an app it adopts a space of its own so you can have the advantages of a fullscreen app without blocking any content beneath.

I highly doubt hordes of people will switch due to a few ads and some bright rectangles.

They are not a fanboy for pointing out another stupid controversy hyped up by the tech blog echo-chamber.

Or you could just buy an Apple TV and stream any music or video service to any TV model.

I did know that, that is not the same functionality as OSX fullscreen where it gets a space to itself.

As a user interface and experience designer I have to strongly disagree.

Nope, no problems here either. Granted I'm in NYC so the data is pretty good. I have discovered I rarely get the wrong search results if I actually look at the search suggestions while typing them. Apple usually provides what you are looking for (5th street in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, etc).

Not sure how that is a good thing. Windows has much worse scrollbars, especially when using a fullscreen web-app.

The simple fact that Firefox has still not managed to add fullscreen mode or the latest OSX scroll bars (where they disappear) shows me that their development is beginning to fall behind. It's been a WHILE since OSX Lion came out.

See attached image. I literally just spoke this into Siri, no Photoshop.

Wait, the 90s weren't 3 years ago?

All I have to do is read comments like this to feel a lot better about myself. Every cliche "iSheep" and sarcastic "magical" give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside that I am not so pathetic as to lose my shit over UI preferences that are highly subjective in real-world use.

Actually the majority of their sales come from regular consumers who want a phone that simply does what they need, without having to tweak, customize, flash its ROM, or uninstall built-in carrier software.

This is something that happens in many cameras, particularly smartphone camears, not just the iPhone 5.
