I had a G1 and that definitely quit receiving updates before the 2year contract ended. You'd think Google would try to forward the best image for their debut android device. I've got a friend who has a hard-on for android so he's always stuck with them despite his experiences on updates are similar. His argument is that he can root it which is correct but you should not need to root the thing just to get updates and the vast majority of people can't or won't do that.

Well that and Mt. Rushmore among other far more modern structures and if the old roman, victorian, or whatever stuff is still standing then it will be thanks us. In fact in another 2000 years arguably there may be no original pieces left on some if not all structures. But who am I to break the circle jerk of how things have gone to shit and everything was better in the old days.

And likewise if you do an image search for roman concrete you can see it still wears away. It's more flexible and more resistant to salt but it still wears away and in fact is apparently weaker. It's a trade-off and all those nice buildings in Italy still require maintenance.

Just look at the colosseum, you can clearly see newer touch-up work. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi...
