The article seems to be down for me. Can you give an example of a case where a .service won't cut it but a . Factory would?

.factory('$timeout', function($window) {

  var $timeout = $window.setTimeout;


  return $timeout;

})

.service('$timeout', function($window) {

  // $timeout is a function, not an normal object. Why would I use a constructor
  //function to provide it?

});

I want the bike shed to be blue, god dammit!
