That sounds like complete bullshit to me. Got a source for that information? I've had many OTA updates and all of them included vendor supplied bloatware and new "features" for you. Now unless you are speaking of JUST the Nexus branded device (your comment is tough to determine your intent) then that may be true and I would not know as I don't own one. However I would still like to see a source or two. (I will even accept Wikipedia.)

That is what I was thinking. This isn't a Google issue, they most certainly did NOT perform the OTA update. They provide vendors (and probably manufacturers) with the update. They are then supposed to vet the update, ensure all is well, and then do an OTA update. The issue really has (and I'm not trying to make excuses here) nothing whatsoever with Google. Google did their part completely and should not be subject to the blame. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the vendor.

Interesting. I have six Pi's that do exactly nothing. All of them have memory cards in place. My goal was to build a cluster for the enjoyment of it but it never got any further then that. Now I may have to take one, or go ahead with clustering first, and then give this a try. It is all automated, right? I won't have to run around with some exactly tuned directional antenna ever time I want to share? I am way too lazy to do that and would give that up in just a few days.

Yup. No Linux version, I've been running nothing but a mix of Linux OSes on my myriad machines and I prefer it. If there's no Linux version there then there is no use for it here. I could boot to Windows but I see no reason to do so simply for a browser that probably spies on me, has few (if any) plug-ins meaning no ad blocker, and will likely eventually try to charge me money, I gave the site a good going-over and did discover an interesting slide show app and will look at that more later as it appears to be similar to to PowerPoint which may have some value at a later date.
