Developers are working to change that, and we're seeing the first examples crop up online already.
Every recipe on the face of this planet (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration there) ends with the same six words:
Since the dawn of time—well, that maybe a slight exaggeration, but let's roll with it—sly entrepreneurs have been swindling the general public with inferior products for the sake of saving a few cents.

Tahini: it sounds like the name of a high-end fashion designer... or perhaps a variation on a two-piece swimsuit. But this "weird ingredient" is actually a delicious and nutritious paste made from toasted sesame seeds and oil.
Winter—or any cold, gray day, for that matter—is the best time for a warm cup of something hot. For me, hot chocolate is my "warm cup" of choice: rich and milky, deliciously sweet, and oh-so-comforting. On super-cold days when I can't feel my face, a nice, large cup of hot chocolate warms my tummy and cheers me up. (And lucky for me, it's pretty healthy for me too!)

With a small tweak to your typical car care routine, you may be able to keep your car's surface and windows shining longer and better: you just need to add a little hair conditioning liquid.

For the most part, when you're copying text on your Android device, it's because you intend on pasting it into a different app than the one you're currently using.

For some odd reason, the Chrome Browser on Android doesn't allow you to search selected text when you're in Incognito Mode.
