"A problem occurred with this web page so it was reloaded." Since the initial iOS 8 upgrade we get this very frequently on our household iPads (2 & 4), severely limiting their usefulness of web browsing and causing problems for apps like Facebook that render pages in an embedded browser view. It's obviously related to JS and primarily seems to involve AJAX calls, but I've had even bare-bones pages crash on me. Plus there are other lovely behaviors like portions of longer pages going blank as you scroll through them, and as at least one other poster has noted, the browser's inscrutable approach to state management -- when switching between tabs or apps it's entirely unpredictable whether the previous page will be retained or reloaded. I kept thinking some of these issues would be addressed in subsequent patches since there were so many reports of similar problems on Apple's support forums. But if anything it's just gotten worse with each update. My wife's older iPad 2 seems to be having lots of problems with the newer iOS versions in general so we've been thinking of upgrading, but without a guarantee of significantly fewer browser issues I'd seriously consider going with an Android tablet instead.

Which is why it's no use trying to find an alternative to the godawful Safari Mobile. Any other browser available in iOS will suck in the same way, just with some extra suckiness (like less interoperability with other apps) layered on top.

You said that with today's technology we could all live like kings and queens, implying it was just an allocation problem. But if we divide current global production among everyone you can see this clearly isn't true. We probably could provide a decent standard of living, but nothing like the wasteful extravagance we have here in the US though -- not enough resources on the planet to support it.

Sorry, and besides, that ten grand will go a lot farther than it does now, once you quit rationing. Dollar amounts really means nothing. They are arbitrarily made up by the banks. "Supply and demand" is a myth. Gas prices aren't down because of lack of demand. They were set to drive off competition from the alternatives.

Ah, ok. 'Nuf said.

Um, not quite. Global GDP in 2014 was around $77.6 trillion in 2014. Divided among 7.5 billion people that works out to around $10,350 per person. The population figure includes children, so figure a total of $41,390 for a family of four. A decent lifestyle by global standards, but prospective kings and queens might be disappointed.

So then communism hasn't been ever been tried either, right? Do you see where I'm going with this?
