No, a queue is a fix for a manufactured problem.

Similar problem solving:
Because your friend keeps stabbing you in the leg with a sharp knife, we've hired a paramedic to follow you around.

Proper solution:
Because your friend keeps stabbing you, we arrested him. As a result you will not get stabbed by him again.

You know, someone modding you down doesn't mean they are fan boy. They could be modding you down because your not really adding anything. In fact your being about as rational and helpful as a fan boy. Any device takes some time to learn, especially if you are coming from another platform. If you take a long time user of any major platform and move them to a different one they will have problems initially. That isn't a good way to judge it.

My personal experience with the usability of Android phones has been good. An informal survey of people I know shows the same. No complaints from anyone. I've also found that giving an Android phone to someone who hasn't used one before has similar results to giving an iPhone to someone who hasn't used one. They can do simple things but get a bit lost.

So yes, please do mod him down fanboys.

It's amazing there haven't been more such problems on the iPhone, but I guess that is a result of its locked down nature. Apple has fought tooth and nail to prevent anyone from putting anything on their phones. At least they finally gave in and let us have apps. Well some apps anyway, those that they approve...

Can we get a "the following page is a warning that may not be family friendly" warning on the warning?

Am I trying to be funny or just applying logic?
