I have the urge for a KitKat bar right now.
Sounds good...lets get the kingsize one! You can never go wrong with chocolate........or bacon.....
That is awesome!
Yes, the two foods that make everything better...put them together and it's like a flavor explosion!!
Sorry, can't resist...(and now back to our regularly scheduled programming).

Speaking of which. Where is he today? I have not had to avoid one post today from him.
I laid out the logical problems of the back button that no one has been able to refute. It is inconsistent and doesn't always take you back despite what Google says. Simple fact. We disagree, get over it.
Tell you that you were wrong about what? About how you think the Nexus 4 is perfect and has no flaws? Yes, you are wrong. Stop being vague to make me look like the bad guy.
You really don't understand anything. And you clearly missed what I said earlier:
Where did I say that in all circumstances Siri is better? Or are you just making stuff up again? Ya, thats what I thought.
And guess what, you can't even understand the argument. The argument is that it is easier to hit a physical button than to hit a button on a touch screen without looking.
Yes. I am an Apple troll. That is why I sold my 12-core Mac Pro to build a Windows workstation. That is why I sold my iPhone 4S after I got my Nexus 4. That is why I sold my iPad 3 after getting a Nexus 7. Oh wait...
Ya, you have no idea what you are talking about. You have been making crap up this whole time trying to make me look bad just because you don't understand what is being discussed.
Heck, you don't even know what we are discussing!
With eyes closed, a physical home button is easier to hit than a button on a touchscreen. It is that simple.
We never argued whether or not you can dictate emails with your voice. The question is sending them.
You are required to have touch input for sending emails, texts, creating calendar events, setting reminds, and more. You are a waste of my time until you show me a video of you doing all of the above on a Moto X without ever touching the screen.
At least I laid out a logical statement no one up to this point has been able to refute.Heh, Jamerz is to touchless controls as Straus is to the Android back button.

Free chocolate+Bacon with every Android phone would have had even the most diehard apple fans converting
Sorry everyone. I will keep my thoughts to myself next time.

Agree 100%. Just would not have followed the whole dessert theme.

Yes I did, and I am very sorry for that. Hopefully if we just ignore the post he will stop.
It was something Strausd did not understand, and couch had to explain it to him about 100 times. To sum it up. He wanted the back button to take him back to last app he used. So if he was in chrome and went I to tapatalk. When he hit back he wanted it to take him to chrome again not the home screen. He claimed that is did not do what it was suppose to because it did not do that.
Since people keep bringing it up, let me just post the most relevant posts.

The biggest issue is just that it is inconsistent. And couch even said it is there for developers to make it consistent.
But guess what, if you have various different developers using the same thing, it will work various different ways. Simple fact.
Again sorry guys. Spinedoc77 don't bother reading the links. He listed this crazy anology that makes no sense.
Haha maybe you shouldn't boss people around and let people read what they want to read.
So back on track. Are we looking at a October 28th or the 31st for the announcement? Which do you guys see as more believable?
Hmm, I kind of like how Android back button works. If I'm in an app it will put me backwards inside that same app until I get to the first screen, then if I hit it again it brings me to the previous app I was in. It's quite logical IMO, if you want to use it, you don't have to though. Nothing wrong with how iOS does it at all, but you still have to close the app, or go to the app manager to switch to the last program. Android kind of streamlines it if you are going between apps.
The thing is it doesn't always take you back to your last screen.

Dunno, it always does for me. I don't even notice it anymore as I've gotten used to it, I kinda like it and I think I would miss it if I went back to iOS.
I've since thought of and tested more examples of how the back button does work perfectly fine, but I won't get into it.
What Straus wanted -- where the back button returned to whatever was the previous screen no matter what, even if it was a separate app -- would also put us in an infinite loop. Pointing this out should have been the end of the conversation. So even if the current implementation of the back button is, once in a rare while, funky, Straus' idea for the back button would have truly been bizarre, regardless of his [false or inapplicable] analogy he kept bringing up about traveling to and from highways.

Here we go again. Heh.
Straus, you should be glad it doesn't. Taking you back to the last screen, no matter what, would put you in an infinite loop. I gave you many examples of this. How do you reconcile that in your Android-world where the back button does that? I really don't get it.
