Sure, that's what Apple wants me to do. And Google. And Microsoft and Blackberry and... I don't want to build multiple versions of my app for different platforms. The web is open, free, not in a walled garden. And it won't

I think you're mistaken: it's Google/YouTube that has placed several of the excellent Prager University videos under restricted mode. Not Facebook. I'm not aware of Facebook suppressing the Prager University videos. And

I've fixed so many bugs using regex, only to have to fix several bugs later. My current stance is, avoid regex if at all possible. Turns out, many of the things we use regex for is possible without. Often times, .Substring, .IndexOf, a
