    Because Android multitasking is inefficient with memory use.

    My Palm Pilot had 512 kB of RAM and it could multi-task properly. When I re-open an app on Palm, I could always get back to EXACTLY where it was left off. Palm OS saves the app state before swapping it out of the RAM.

    Android apps have to completely restart from fresh after being closed. It multi-tasks by keeping apps running in memory. But you are never going to have enough RAM for the apps if you use a variety of apps.

    Samsung’s RAM Plus does something similar, but the apps are not designed to be efficient for virtual memory.




  • I hope the cat in the movie will look more natural than the one in the game.

    In the game, the animation looks great. I’m sure they took a lot of effort with the motion capture.

    But there is something weird about the cat’s face. It just doesn’t look like a cat, no realistically, not cartoonish either. Perhaps some adjustment in the facial modelling will help.




  • Whether Apple or Google collects/abuse more data, I’m not sure.

    But I prefer iOS’s design for app security. iOS apps are more restricted than Android apps in general, and when iOS apps require permissions they prompt clearly.

    Most Android apps seem to have excessive permissions by default. The Play Store is a mess and the “Data safety” section is worse than useless, with scammers self-declaring the apps as “no data collected”.
