title: List<Object> and List<?>
body: <p>I have two questions, actaully...
  First off, Why cant I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;Object&gt; object = new List&lt;Object&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And second, I have a method that returns a <code>List&lt;?&gt;</code>, how would I turn that into a <code>List&lt;Object&gt;</code>, would I be able to simply cast it? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
