What does the underscore in '_$httpBackend_' mean?

That explanation makes no sense. It looks more like a way to make an argument name that looks a lot like an existing variable name. It is the human reader who can ignore the underscores. To javascript, $httpBackend and _$httpBackend_ are as different as foo and bar.
