I believe the Nexus phones get updates far before third-party branded phones, no?
Not always. the galaxy nexus was left out this time around, and it wasn't b/c of performance or anything, it's working quiet perfectly with an AOSP build of 4.4.2. The official reason was : it's more than 18 months so fuck you very much.
The point is, if you don't like the phone of X or Y company? simple, don't buy it. And if somehow you're forced to, there's always a way to get rid of the original software and install something else (AOSP builds come to mind as they are what you seem to be looking for), and that is due to the "openness" of android (notice the "").
That's why, my GSM galaxy nexus is running the latest official google version of android -4.4- (which, it is perfectly capable of running). Oh wait, there's no such thing.
What there is, is AOSP, openness (in a way), that openness gave me (and many many others) the possibility to to get updates, tinker, add features (caller name display comes to mind, there was none for a long time, and it wasn't free).
You want the "Google experience"? Fine buy a google phones from the google play store using your google wallet, not available for your carrier?? well, that's just too bad (not all phones are available for all carriers, this isn't new thing, been like this as far as I can remember).
GMO labelling though is a different issue. Much more political than a health issue.
indeed, what I said in my previous post seems like a solution to the labelling problem (without forcing anyone to do anything).
And the peanut allergy scare,
wtf man? it's not a scare, it's a real problem.I have a cousin that is so alergique (I'm not kidding) that the mere presence of peanuts in the room provoque a reaction (a call a freaking ambulance, reaction), it is not an anecdote, I've seen it with my own eyes!
there are people out there that are intolerant to diffrent things, labeling is something that helps them make INFORMED decisions!
