What are you, some kind of Commie? Nothing should be allowed to get in the way of the God-given right to make a buck! Hey I sound like Trump's Twitter feed.
Being on Android quite often does mean no security patches. That's why I stopped buying Android phones. Are the OEMs such as Samsung any better now? The iPhone 5 is still getting updates 4 years after release. Any Android phones, even the ones that cost a similar account, getting that kind of support? I have a Galaxy Note 2 released a couple of months later that didn't go any further than KitKat and it took bloody ages for Samsung to do that.
Since Windows is heavily used in corporations that control their updates and are usually quite conservative about updating the whole OS it's not that surprising.
If Apple have decided that it's too difficult then they should withdraw the patent. No reason to keep it around. They don't do that though on the off chance that they can harass anyone else who comes up with a method.

You really are stupid aren't you
You're supposed to put it over your eyes!
It hasn't so far and there's no sign it will.

A corporation being solely focused on making as much money as possible. Who would've believed such a thing?
Why do you need to buy a new phone? The 5 is still getting updates and that was released in 2012.
How many of these have been fixed via Play or otherwise for all Android versions still in use? http://www.techworld.com/secur...

If it's in the default install then surely some of the onus is on the distro builder to audit the code. It's not like it's unavailable.
iOS updates don't cost anything.
No one uses Windows anymore, that's why Microsoft went bankrupt years ago /s
That's why all Android devices are on the latest build of Nougat with all security fixes applied. Or not.
Mishmash more like.

It's easy enough to configure a Mac to use 2 buttons. Why this keeps coming up is baffling to me.

The fact that you think that it's all one sided proves that it's not just Putin that's good at this sort of thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
What blood would that be?
Maybe they like getting OS updates which is pretty hit and miss with Android. How many devices are still waiting for Marshmallow never mind Nougat?
That's why they're all going for Android which doesn't spy on you at all *rolls eyes*
If their God does exist, a lot of them are going to be very disappointed.
Wasn't it Harrison Ford that said that?
It does? I thought it started from a boyfriend who got cheated on and decided to tell the world.
The weapons industry calls itself the defense industry to pretend that it's not evil.
Provide timely updates and security fixes. But hey who am I kidding. This is Samsung we're talking about.
