"Has created" != "has been published on the store". Particularly because the most newsworthy part of the article is that it took longer than normal to get the app approved, so a search in the apps won't tell you whether or not Google has *created* an iPad-specific version that is currently going through the approval process.

It really makes me wonder, though, what would they get out of saying stuff like that if it weren't true?

Have you ever watched Yahtzee's video game reviews? He's mostly focusing on bad things (and greatly exaggerates them). People love a good trashing! He even mentioned in one of his reviews that he got angry mails when he was too nice on a game. It's good entertainment, and that's what Top Gear focuses on.

Binary search would be fine, except that "The server will email the administrator a PDF copy of the document in question if a user attempts to do so". It might look a tad bit suspicious if the user keeps trying to make copies of the same document with different parts blacked out.

Well, that's the whole point of this competition - find out what each user believes to be "GOOD", which is highly subjective. People who enjoy, say, Epic Movie, White Chicks, and hate movies like Insomnia are likely to dislike Memento as well.

There is no objective "good" or "bad" for a movie - you can average the ratings given by all users, but according to IMDb, Insomnia (US version) has 7.2, and Die Hard 4 has 7.6 - which one would you prefer? (To me, Insomnia is clearly the "better" movie, but my opinion is different from that of other people... which is why the idea is to find people who have the same taste as I do and see what they consider "good").

Like I said, you're not doing it right. My app has 15 activities and one service that runs at boot-time as well as on demand.

Parcelable is rarely necessary to transfer data within an app. In fact, it'd be a performance hog to do that.
