Comment Re:Poll Response (Score 1) 376

That's true, but that's taken into account. Whether the correct adjustment is made or not, that's debatable. But, both phone and in person polls _do_ work just as well as they did, they're just way more expensive to conduct. Yes, this year exit polls will be slightly less reliable, since you have basically a normal poll and exit poll, but, then again, exit polls aren't about finding out the winner early, they're about figuring out what went wrong with the assumptions made later on.

Comment Re:Not about language preferences (Score 1) 542

On the first point, since Android is open source and I can't download all of that source either I see no reason why the partial codebase of iOS does not qualify.

You can download all of Android's sources.

Where can I download Moto-Blur?

Moto-blur is not Android, it's a replacement UI developed by Motorola. Which, btw, is not as easy to do in iOS (and probably a breach of contract).

the second is at least a questionable claim, given that language preferences vary so much.

That has nothing to do with it. The fact is Objective-C make code injection incredibly easy, which means it's much easier to hook into and modify specific parts of existing applications.

It's not about language preference, it's about a specific side effect of iOS software being written in Objective-C.

But then again, that's not exactly allowed, is it?
