Placing the url at the bottom is brilliant UI wise considering the height of the average smartphone nowadays. And anyway they made this an option for those who wouldn't like it. The “mess" that was discussed in your second link (t

Except contrary to any other landlord, the government doesn't expect to earn money but to have a balanced budget. This is why medical expanses are much higher in the US than in any European country. This is why all basic necessities sh

You never owned an iPhone. You can't read the OS source, you can't install other OS, you can't sideload apps, you can't repair it yourself, you can't buy official spare parts, and you cannot even reuse the parts of
