That would break the spontaneous nature of "live-tweeting".

AFAIK, Honeycomb was primarily for tablets due to the (then current) UI scaling terribly and primarily being for portrait orientation. This was the era of 320x240 screens, after all, so there was bound to be some issues when scaling that up to tablet resolutions.

Since most of the improvements ended up being useful for the upcoming "phablets" as much as tablets, Google just merged those features into Jelly Bean and gave up on a separate tablet UI.

They do not. iPad could have had a graphing calculator app at this point, given the surface area, but apple has yet to do so.

I know you're trolling, but there once was a time when fast food wasn't objectively terrible. Something happened in the name of cost-cutting. Taco Bell is one of the biggest ones I remember, as they would have an employee prepare the lettuce manually, grate the cheese, etc. Even the olives were sliced by a kitchen tool.

McDonald's is another one, my cousin once earned a "fry guy" pin where he cut and fried the most potatoes in a day. Yes, _cut_. None of that frozen garbage.

For being so advanced, humans still fall for the most reptilian stereotypes like this. Taken to extremes in books like "Of Mice and Men" where the short, frail guy is an untrustable genius while the tall, dumb guy has some sort of superhuman strength. I would love to know where that started because it's still a thing.
