Comment Re:Windows 7 (Score 1) 192

It's not the lack of a Start Button that gets me. It's the whole 'forced touch-UI' experience, the fact that half the system's settings are in a classic dialog and the other half are in a Metro dialog, the complete lack of warning when the system is going to kick you in one direction or another. Performance-wise, I'm sure it's fine. But it's the user experience that completely turns me off. If they'd done it right the first time (i.e. Windows 10), then I'd probably have taken the time to upgrade. But Win8/8.1 will never have a place on any system I'm using.

Then why did they throw a shitfit when they found out CM actually did bundle GApps early in it's lifespan? Ever since CM7 (So far as I recall, could be as early as 6), you have to flash GApps seperately or else the system is somewhat useless initially. That didn't used to be the case, nor is it with any CM edition devices like Oppo's N1 or the OnePlus One.

You do know that so long as you're running AOSP, even the compiled images that Google releases, so long as you can enable developer settings, mock locations can be enabled. You can do it from any Nexus, Moto X/G/E, and CM device. And even CM has Developer Settings disabled by default. So you can't really start complaining about Google not allowing fake geolocation, you just have to be less of an idiot to enable it.
