As far as I can tell, the DI is "magic" in most of the examples in that it's using your controller function's parameter names to decide which services to pass in. The Angular docs I've read seem to indicate that this is not actually the recommended way to do it, but rather you should use the controller.$inject array to indicate which services you want. The annoying part to me is that this other, more magical behavior is used in just about every example I've encountered and IT IS NEVER EXPLAINED ANYWHERE. I was glancing through the code and I saw reference to gleaning the dependencies automatically by calling .toString() on the controller function and then parsing the arg list, which is ick ick ick. Who in the hell expects their arbitrarily-named anon function args to actually have meaning outside their own scope? This is a total misfeature, IMO.
