After years of being a loyal iPhone user for years, I'm finally giving in and switching over to Android having just ordered a Galaxy S7 Edge (< £500 SIM free). Should be delivered tomorrow.
I just don't know what's going on at Apple these days.. there's no innovation, iOS seems to get worse (user experience and bugs) with every release (my main gripe is with the music app shuffle and repeat functions) and battery performance is downright dreadful (shutting down randomly when the battery gets below 75%). I was in the Alps earlier this year and my mate's Galaxy phones coped well all day on the slopes while my iPhone 6 died after about 20 minutes 
I just can't stick with a phone that shuts down when you're least expecting it and I can't justify spending > £600 on a new iPhone that may (or may not) do the same thing and that doesn't offer much more then my iPhone 6..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Welcome to Android!
A new world of fresh and wonderful bugs awaits you. You will learn a new set of swearwords - purely Android related...
But at least it costs less...

It's been a difficult decision.. battery issues sealed iPhone's fate for me 
I had an Android a long time ago - the HTC Hero - which I quite liked at the time. I "upgraded" to a Windows Phone 7 which was so bad, I binned it halfway through my contract and bought a refurbished iPhone 4 which was really good.
So it was Microsoft that got me using iPhones..

Why does it even need a music app, it doesn't even have a headphone socket.

My wife's been on that the S7 Edge for about 6 months now and has had no issues. She really likes it.

Dont put your iPhone too far away. Maybe after some week you will experience that it can be worther.
Be prepared on doing annoying tasks like setting up accounts and repeat stupid input and alerts.
PS: I had setup an Samsung some weeks ago and it was a mess.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Pretty much all of my stuff is in OneDrive and Exchange so it's pretty simple to set everything up on any device.
I'm keeping the iPhone though, it'll be useful for iOS development.

My Blackberry Passport lasts a couple of days of normal usage. No-one in the US seems to offer them anymore so I shall have to go the Android route in August when my contract is up. Not really looking forward to it. I love my Blackberry. It does everything I want the way I expect it to.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Your message title, for some reason, brought back an old memory from my Pogo collected works:
The gentle journey jars to stop,
The drifting dream in done.
The long gone goblins loom ahead;
The deadly, that we thought were dead,
Stand waiting,
every one.
I miss Pogo, Albert, Churchy, et al

I own a S7. it works well, in my case sometimes when I answer a call and I have the headphones on, I can start speaking with the caller but the ring still sounds... If this happens to you the way to solve it easily is to simply mute the phone and then set it back to normal. You can do it during the call.
Apart from that a nice phone.

Useful tip, I'll watch out for that! Thanks!

And there is another nice tip too for all samsungs out there: if you are in a not very good coverage area... you will find it difficult to use the voice calling as it sends data outside to be processed...
In order to avoid that you can always activate an "advanced function" (options -> advanced functions) that is named "quick dial" (or something similar I do have my phone in Catalan language).
Once you do that keeping pressed the main button will pop up a window and you will be able to say the name of your contact and then the phone will automagically interpret your voice even without internet connection.

The OS does not know about the used programming language for executable files.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It doesn't know; it doesn't care.
Once the code is written, it is compiled into a "lower level" language - either Native code (which is a binary form that the processor chip understands directly) or an intermediate language that a secondary system convert to native code as it runs. Both Java and C# compile to an intermediate language (this is IL for C# and JVM for Java) and the .NET framework CLR module uses a "Just In Time - or JIT - compiler to convert that to native code to be executed. In the case of Java it is either compiled in a similar manner of interpreted by the Java runtime as it is executed.
The system doesn't care: the startup code your your app runs the relevant runtime module to process your code invisibly and that runs your application.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
