Larry Page: Your Android battery should last a day | News | TechRadar UK This is why a Task killer should be used, but used properly. Anyone who says they are not necessary, is wrong, and I think Google agrees.
Apps keep running in background

Mac blows, nothing like paying more for reduced functionality overall simply because something's pretty or well marketed.
Anyway, I like killing tasks. I like opening "Internet" and not having it at my last page I had open. Programs should close. Menu -> Exit, is it really that hard to offer?
Not because of memory management or anything like that - just because it's how things should be. Neat and organized and not a cluster of apps in various states all still running.

Which is why one is included as a standard part of the Android OS.
Seriously, the only reason to have a task killer is to compensate for using ill-behaved apps. Better to just nuke the bad app in the first place.

agreed. there is a ruuning apps in the manage apps menu. no need for anything else.

Yea, people should just "nuke" Google Maps.

Yep, that is so much more convenient, than the one touch my task killer allows me to do it in.
How do you use the ruuning apps in the manage apps menu? What do you do with this info?

If you're referring to the reported battery drain issues with Google Maps 4.2.0, then yes, you can simply uninstall the updates. You really should know WTF you're talking about before making flip comments.
Not everyone has an issue with 4.2.0, I haven't seen any related battery drain.
I have and actually have to support a few at work too - and I promise you there is more you cannot do with a Mac than visa versa with a PC, both software and hardware.
That's not to say Mac is unusable of course, just pointing out that folks are paying more money for something that does less. But, to each their own - it's really fun to watch them defend it though, esp. when they say "Well I can always dual boot it with Windows to do <whatever>". Yeah, cause that's good logic there.
I haven't either, in fact battery life has been... heh, Incredible... after the first 4-5 charge/discharge cycles. I have a 1500mAH battery on the way even and probably could have just saved that $16 now.

Gotta chime in on this. Mac OS is HORRIBLE from nearly every perspective except aesthetics. It is horribly under-performing due to the mach kernel and its' completely inefficient method of handling multiple threads. I don't feel like explaining this in detail if you choose you can look it up. When doing anything that is VERY processor intensive, particularly something that spawns multiple threads, OS X just dies. Whereas Linux, BSD and even Windows handle this much better.
