You need some super specs then.

It's interesting but hardly a concern given the requirements to make it work.

I'm not sure what space has to do with this and if such a person exists you seem to be the only person that holds a grudge against them.

A collection of obscenely wealthy guys are upset that life won't let them get their way. Maybe if they at least admit they're scared shitless about it they can get their way.

All the carriers work with Apple and they've got no control over iPhone. It's easy to blame the carriers but it's not even like Google had to do it first. Apple set a precedent and Google choose to do another way. A way that just happens to make it hard to lay blame on anyone in particular.

OEMs won't have anything to push out if Google doesn't provide a patch.

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.

It feels like Google rigged things so they don't have to take responsibility for their mistakes. Of course it's consumers that get screwed not that Google cares since their real customers are advertisers.

Chrome has awful battery life compared to any other browser. We need that more than smilies.

Who uses google in China? They use their own homegrown search.

Same here, DDG more than covers what I need. There's few things I need google for and half the time it's that I'm just not happy with DDG's image results so I'll check google and unfortunately often google won't have what I want either.

Yeah but no one else is silly enough to have 12 profiles. Besides every one who doesn't use Google has to do switch. So I can't muster up any sympathy.

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...

Like anything else some things fail straight away and some go on forever. If there was something genuinely better about their concrete then all their stuff would have lasted. But everything from paintings to buildings that we want to keep rely on regular maintenance. Yes the Romans have some concrete in water that thanks to materials like volcanic ash last longer but of all the things they built most of it doesn't exist now or requires maintenance. Compared to all things built around the globe a could structures in Italy are insignificant and can't be used to prove all old building methods were superior.
