Right. Because Android's toolkits are used on every other platform under the sun.

Windows Phone is probably in a better position in terms of code portability than either iOS or Android, but really UI is so different that having the same toolkit only gets you so far, no matter which platform you're starting from.

You are obviously a complete and total idiot. Please stop commenting. Ever.

You have been able to load publicly-hosted web-content within an app's UIWebView from the very first day that such views were available in the SDK. That would be iPhoneOS 2.0, for those not familiar with the SDK evolution.

Your reasoning is way off. Apple does exactly what you claim they didn't want to do all the time. Siri is not supported on some models that run iOS 7. The new multi-tasking in iOS 9 (multiple on-screen apps) is only supported on newer iPads, and not the iPhone at all, not even the 6+. So basically, you're so completely wrong it's not even funny.

If you aren't a good programmer, moving up to management will most likely make you a not good manager. There is a rare exception but most programmers aren't great people people which a good manager has to be.

This comment makes no sense at all. Programming and management are completely different skills. Lacking one does not in any way imply a lack of the other.

In 2008, the Washington Post reported on a University of Washington study which found that teenagers who received comprehensive sex education were 60% less likely to get pregnant than someone who received abstinence-only education.

A 2007 federal report found that abstinence-only programs have had "no impacts on rates of sexual abstinence," reported ThinkProgress.

In a 2011 study published in the journal PLOS One, researchers found a similar correlation between a state's commitment to abstinence education and pregnancy rates.

One of the most interesting and notable examples of this phenomenon comes out of Texas, which, according to ThinkProgess, has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the country and a track record of strict abstinence-only education.
