That back button's behaviour has been consistent for me, at least on my Galaxy S.

If you're in an app and press the back button it goes backward in the app. When it reaches the "main" or "home" screen in the app, it closes the program entirely and returns to whatever was open prior to that. This is confirmable for me by going to the task manager (holding the home key and tapping "Task Manager") to see what's currently running.

It's far more consistent than my old iPhone 3G, where there is no back button, and every app had a different idea how the UI should be done and where the buttons should be. Not to mention there was no easy/intuitive way for me to close an app or navigate around options.

The one thing that's consistent on Android is that there's a context menu and a back button, making it easy to navigate around a program.

It has a very consistent behaviour, unlike a lot of apps on the iPhone. I don't think I'll personally ever return to an iPhone. I've gotten so used to having more intuitive navigation controls.

They still benefit from herd immunity as long as the herd actually has it.

To a point - an egg allergy is reasonably common. So if this group can't get a vaccination and someone still manages to contract it, it will still spread among the non-vaccinated group. It is even possible that you can be a carrier and not actually be affected by some strains.

Unless there are vaccines that everyone can take we'll never be truly free of that kind of disease.

Well, that only goes so far. When you have parents refusing to vaccinate their children then all the childhood diseases that were deadly will start to come back again through carriers. I can't understand why parents would refuse this. If you told someone that lived through one of those outbreaks that cost hundreds (thousands?) of lives that there was a preventative measure that was rejected, they'd think you were off your rocker.

Case in point: a few years ago a Christian group told parents to withhold the mumps vaccine. Guess what happened? Yep, there was an outbreak. Holy shit! Who would've thought that would happen?!

You can't help stupid people. You really can't. That particular example wasn't life threatening, but it could have implications later in life such as sterility (probably a good thing they can't pass those genes on.)

Oh great, that means the speakers in the TV are going to be shittier than they are now?

I remember my old projection TV from 1999. It had excellent sound. My TV from 1.5 years ago it's rather unpleasant listening to the built in speakers.

Not everyone wants to have a full amplifier and speaker setup next to every TV.

Yes, but AVG also shipped a x32 binary in a x64 release, causing computers to crash.

Otherwise their antivirus was better than what we were using, and was a better price.

Dropped them like a hot rock after that happened... it appears they can't even do basic QC.

It's rather amusing that the teachers aren't more educated on this topic.

There's so many things emitting RF. They're probably like a couple people where I work - they seem to think that if a device isn't on there aren't any radio signals about. I've tried to explain that even if your radio/cell/whatever is off the signals are still in the air and passing through their body. I don't understand why people can't grasp that simple concept...

Slash the price to $200 and even the most rabid Apple fan will knock at Apple's door with torches and pitchforks if they bought a full price iPad 2 one month earlier.

The most rabid fan would know the iPad3 is coming and wait before making a decision to purchase...

I can't see 3D effects. Apparently the polarizing on my glasses render the 3D glasses useless.

I tried the 3DS as well, and I realized I could see the 3D effects on that without my glasses, but who wants to play with it 6" from your face?

They tried pushing 3D 10 years ago from what I remember, and it's not much different now. Doubt it'll take off this time either...

The only reason I chose LED/LCD over plasma is the power consumption on the LED was significantly less (this was several years ago.)

The plasma set my brother had used so much electricity it would heat the entire living room. When he left I noticed a drastic decrease in power usage.

Are plasmas now any better or are they still power pigs? To me, the picture quality wasn't worth using 3-4x more electricity.

Why is it all these companies are based in Texas? Lax patent laws or something?
