"Emptying this list of applications is simply needless, mindless, busywork. It was absolutely never intended to be used this way and anyone who does this is just wasting their time. The system suspends apps running in the background automatically. The system removes suspended apps from memory automatically, when needed. Manually zapping all apps from this list is a voodoo placebo."

Daring Fireball: You Do Not Need to Manually Manage iOS Multitasking (via thisistheverge)

I hope that more people see this. One of the best things about how iOS manages background applications is that is does not give them free reign, as Android does (how many of you had the Verizon/ATT sales person install ATK for you before you left the store? ).

This reminds me of Steve Jobs, when talking about multitasking, saying how if you need a task manager, or if the user has to manage them at all, you are doing it wrong.

Its a shame that there are Geniuses out there who are getting this wrong.
