This seems like intended behavior. You back button is not broken. Clicking back brings you back to the previous page... that page just happens to seem to be part of the current page.
For you, it would seem best to remove the previous page content when adding the new content. That way pressing "back" will be super fast, page loading will be fast, and the web will still be happy.
Well then that's bad intended behaviour. The back button should reverse the loading of a new page after clicking a link. It should not interfere with scrolling at all.
It's interesting that there is no mention of BFCache anywhere in this article. This is one of those fantastic features that (although unfortunately not supported in Chrome) allows for very simple infinite scroll and use of the back button.
Unfortunately this guy's script takes it a little too far for browsers that DO support bfcache and unfortunately breaks functionality a bit, or at least makes it confusing, despite it being intended functionality or not.
There is probably a huge amount of truth to this. Apple puts enough effort into stopping jail breaking that they can easily claim their movie blocking is done through those efforts.
I would suggest that the lack of a Netflix app on WebOS would corroborate this. You only have to enter a short key combination to unlock the phone (put it into dev mode).
Well, democracy is not everything. If the majority of the electorate wants to fight wars, or repress a certain minority, then you've still got a problem there.
What about people outside the US? Before Apple, the FBI couldn't track them. Now that the phones are sending their gps tracks home every 12 hours, they probably can...
I don't know the answer to either of these questions. It appeared to be a standard GPS receiver, but some investigation would reveal whether the manufacturer supports military mode.

I never saw it on the car, but the antenna mount had a hinge that would allow it to stick out from the side of the car. But that would be rather conspicuous—I think that's why the antenna is so large.
I often scroll down using space or the pagedown key. This has worked with every webpage I've encountered so far.
While I don't care about the styling, every single linked example on that page doesn't work with space or the pagedown key. I wish there was a bit more polish here...
It doesn't for me. I have to click on the page first to make them work. OS X 10.6.7 / Safari 5.0.5 here (basically the newest thing you can get from Apple).
Abstract: new language and new API go hand in hand. A memory managed combo trades execution speed for faster program creation. Was already needed 5 years ago. The recent garbage collection additions don't cut it. Microsoft started working on their successor (.net) 10 years ago and now it's starting to look good. Apple gained some leeway when the iPhone happened. With ever improving CPUs on mobile devices, Apple still risks losing ground down the line.
You could also argue that, given the current success of iOS and Mac, Cocoa isn't a significant hinderance to Apple's platform's success.
(Not to say I wouldn't mind some significant advancements in Apple's preferred runtime, but there's strong evidence that the current runtime is actually quite suitable. If, as you say, .NET is only now starting to look good after a decade's worth of work, perhaps that wasn't the wisest investment on MS's part. Siracusa's been beating this drum for years and, like many of his crusades, I struggle to see how Apple suffers from not following his advice.)
Think such a thing doesn't exist? Well think again: http://www.hovding.com/en/how/
