You should not get bad karma because you are wrong, the post can still contribute, and the poster get the chance to be corrected. A lot of "facts" really are opinions anyway.

There are 84 companies in the OHA (Open handset alliance). If a company for whatever reason will not update their phones to 4.4.4 (which is the latest point release of version 4 of Android) someone should probably backport the patch to 4.3 version of Android. Android is open source and Google accepts patches.

Google is not the only one making Android and the Google supported phones are free of this vulnerability. I can see Googles position on this (they want the vendors to just update to latest point release), although it seems a bit silly.

Oh please, come back in a year when the first major (pretty much mandatory) update hits you 1GB RAM phone, no more smooth and random crap like copy/paste stops working. Come back when Apple hardware at least runs 1% of the servers on the internet, which has to be reliable and stable. As of this moment it is the Wild West composed mostly of completely open software...

A modern phone is a small computer, nothing more, nothing less. There is no need for this hunkydory Apple store lock ins. It's not especially hard to keep any phone malware free. And pretty much every modern phone regardless of OS is smooth, reliable and stable.

I think you have been cheated by Apple marketing...

Will this boot over ethernet?

Don't install random crap from the internet. If you use play store the chance is virtually nil to be infected with malware. You also have to make the active choice to even be able to install these trojans by ticking "non trusted sources" down in preferences.

It isn't exactly hard to keep an Android device malware free. Same as any other operating system with a good selection of programs in the default repos and stores, like Debian, Ubuntu, or OS X. Even if those operating systems don't mandate one supplier of programs only.

If this sounds to hard, just use iPhones and Playstations which are unable to install random crap no matter how much you need it, but at least you're safe.

Microsoft never claimed to have created the first mouse or any of the other things you listed. You're delusional...

So who in your oppinon develops Windows? Do they rip code from little puppets from mars or something... Whatever you are trying to say, you are wrong...

It was a bad motivator?

Fortunaly Google dosen't accept mallware onto the market, so you should be pretty safe.

The whole retina thing is just a marketing ploy. Perhaps some wants to hold the phone closer than what Steeve decided was the optimum range. There is no denying text is sharper and you need to zoom less when having better than retina resolution.

In any case, I'm not average.

When Oculus Rift gain 4K resolution I will have all the display space I need. Unlimited virtual monitors...

I think he got disconnected before the punchline, bet it was good though...

It looks like Win XP

Don't let it play Global thermonuclerar war for a decade though. It won't learn shit. Give it two minutes of tic-tac-toe, number of players zero, and it throws in the towel on the art of war completely. I know there is some kind of plot hole in here...
