1. It was an example of why letting the camera keep running in the background can be useful.
2. think of long recording sessions you in no way want to pause not to lose a precious moment you can't anticipate (e.g., your son's scoring).

It would be great if we could pin only specific apps to the multi-tasking function. If you still have to scroll through every app that's been open since you cleared it out to get to the one you want, it can sometimes be faster to just close and open the app you want. Multi tasking is a function that has the potential to help my specific needs a lot, but really would only be effective if I could limit what apps are in it. If I could pin 2-3 specific apps in a specific order in there, it would be perfect
Since a lot of people who prefer the iPad pefer the Mini, a large high res screen doesn't seem to be as compelling as you think it is.
Obviously you can since you are still using a 17" MBP when there are Retina 15" MBPs. So in your case size is more important that screen resolution which is true for a lot of people in regards to the ipads.
The 17" has other advantages over the 15" rMBPs, in addition to the larger screen estate:
- second drive bay (I have an 256G SSD + 1 TB HDD combo
- 3 USB
- FW 800
- much more self-serviceable
So you can live without a retina screen if the other benefits are more compelling as opposed to a blanket statement that you couldn't live without a retian screen.
Apples to oranges.
I use iPad definitely more (for fun / entertainment / web) than my 17" MBP (for work). Also entering this on the iPad.
I think that much of what you want, despite framing it as otherwise, is really only appealing to a tiny tiny minority of Apple's customers. We aren't likely to see changes like these made to appease that minority when the side effects would almost certainly include an increase in system instability and reduction in battery life. Those are the two things that the iPad has in spades over the competition right now, and while I too have certain things I'd like my iPad to do more like a regular computer, I'd rather keep the appliance-like reliability.
Apple has never, ever been about giving the customer lots of choices or, in iOS, leaving certain decisions 'up to the user' etc. I'm not sure where you got the idea they were?
