If Jobs were Samsung CEO, he would have personally thrown somebody out a fricking window over this.
Apple certainly has experience with it. Their exploding laptop batteries date from around 2004 and were still exploding in 2013.
So having the ability to receive a call/text == loudly yapping... Gotcha.

I carry a phone so that people can get ahold of me if necessary. If they can't reach me at your place, I'll go somewhere that they can.
That's good because you would never be invited to my place. I hate to break it to you, but you really aren't so important that anybody needs to contact you instantly.
When I had Frontier for Internet they were unable to deliver more than 9Mbps up and it always failed when it rained. No reason at all for a cap when you cant deliver service to your customers.
Same here in CT. My service has cut out for 60 seconds or so, 10 times this morning already. They don't need to worry about caps when they just keep cutting off my connection mutliple times each day.
Apple has always done this with everything they do. They don't treat backwards-compatibility as ultra important like Microsoft does.
That's because they still write their major apps in Objective-C.
I hate that the content is getting split between all these providers. I do see my solution as a couple on months on one then cancel and switch to the next one. Just need to subscribe to each one once a year to accesses the latest season of whatever.
Of course they can come up with solutions to mess over frequent switchers.
Don't worry. In 5 years time these fragmented providers will merge into one or two mega companies and start charging cable company prices again. Amazoncast and Netfinity anyone?
I don't recall those programs being called apps. Applications maybe, more commonly programs
"Apps" is shorthand for "applications". Has always been.
I used WIn 3.1 when it was first released. We never called them "apps" then.
On the other hand, it has been obvious to me for a long time that if you want privacy, you don't use Microsoft products.
Or anything connected to the internet.

A common issue with code reviews is that the engineer making the change presents the completed implementation and the design *at the same time*. The collaboration early on to ensure a good design or theory of operation really helps cut down on the pain of code reviews.
Then that's not a code review. Anywhere I worked as a developer, we had separate design reviews that took place prior to the code being written.
I found people without degrees or took extreamly specialized classes tend to be good in a small area, then be grossly inadequate in others.
I previously had an incompetent Jr employee under me, who happened to have a doctorate...
Meanwhile, the billionaire founders of Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook and Dell are college drop-outs.
Well, there's certainly sufficient anecdotal evidence there to create data.
