Same thing for cats: they have been selectively breeding humans for 6000 or so years....
Your cats selected your mate for you as well, eh?
Worked out fine for me. Not sure what traits they're breeding us for, though.

I don't know if it is 100% legal to use Google's closed apps on a unofficial firmware; perhaps it is, because the phone hardware was licensed to run them originally. So far, it doesn't look like Google have had particular problems with people doing this.
There was a short period of time where Google had a beef with CyanogenMod when it included the Google apps as part of its distribution. Wkipedia has a bit of coverage of the event.
The short version is that Google allows end users to back-up the Google apps that are licensed for the device from the OEM firmware, and then re-install them onto CyanogenMod later, however CyanogenMod is not allowed to distribute the apps themselves.
In fact, something is wrong with my car that it hasn't even detected...my thermostat is wedged on, which means the coolant system and fan are always operating, so the damn engine doesn't heat up unless I idle in place. I'm driving with my engine temp pinned all the way down at 100, which is probably hurting my gas mileage.
The car has completely failed to notice this.
Could be worse; at least it's stuck open, not closed!
OTOH, I'm still getting 27 mph, so whatever.
27 mph, eh? No freeways for you!
What I wish cars had is a mandatory display of error codes. It is really absurd to have to hook anything up to read them.
I owned a 2008 Jeep Wrangler a couple of years back, and there was a little dance that you could put the controls through to get it to display all of the OBD codes in the digital odometer display. I don't think you can clear them, but at least you can get a readout without having to visit a mechanic's.
I wish all cars did this!
Subaru got clever, though; when Check Engine comes on in the newer models (2008 and up at least), it also disables cruise control. What's really bad is, it can take several off-on cycles of the engine before the "loose gas cap" condition clears, so if you're on an 800 mile road trip... you can be going a long way without cruise.
Wow! If I ever pick up a modern Subaru, I'll be sure to keep a OBD reader in the glove box to clear the code by hand. I don't know that I could survive an 80 mile road-trip without cruise, let alone 800...
It would be nice if the CEL had two levels of alert, one for minor issues such as an O2 sensor that, at worst, reduces engine efficiency, and major issues, such as a dead cylinder, regular misfire, or ECU problem.
The ones I'm familiar with do - if it's flashing, you have a serious problem that warrants immediate investigation. Usually this is caused by excessive misfires.
I'm driving a Chevy Colorado with the original 5-cyl 3.5L engine design; excessive misfires due to carbon buildup on the valve seats are a feature, not a bug.
Well, my CEL has been on for a couple of weeks now. A quick diagnostic the day that it came on told me that it was an O2 sensor heating circuit that was misbehaving, so it's A) not a critical problem, and B) only causes an issue until the exhaust gasses bring the O2 sensor up to operating temperature. I'll probably drive it like this for another month before I get an opportunity to take the truck into my mechanic's; no big issue, though.

Holy crap! Anonymous has hacked the kernel servers and left a backdoor?

This.
That link right there is some brilliant stuff!

It's an improvement over vanilla IE, although I haven't compared it to whatever changes they've made in IE9.
