Why I Hate Android
parislemon: Why do I hate Android? It’s definitely one of the questions I get asked most often these days. And most of those that don’t ask probably assume it’s because I’m an iPhone guy. People see negative take after negative take about the operating system and label me as “unreasonable” or “biased” or worse. I should probably explain. Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android. That...

My iPhone 4 is running iOS 5.  Just sitting here at home minding my own business and, all on its own mind you, the iPhone started playing “The Good, The Bad & The Queen” by Herculean.  And then, it automatically redialed the last number… which really kinda freaked me out.

Determine which process is listening at a specific...
