The big difference is that unlike `apply` (and `call`), `bind` does not call the function, it just gives you a new function that you have to call later (or use as an event handler). `bind` returns a new function, which has it's context `this` set to whatever you pass in, along with arguments partially applied. `apply` calls the function, using the context object you provide and the arguments provided in an array. (`apply` also has a sister function `call`, which also calls the function with the context object you provide and the arguments you provide individually).
