    Google products thinking that I would be getting better support and faster Android updates. However, Google is easily distracted and they have no desire to support older devices when they change direction.

    If you are concerned about your privacy you should be using an iPhone, period.

    In think you have cognitive problems, AC: iOS is not even open-source (what makes cyanogenmod.org possible)...

    A $600 phone is not a cheap phone.

    I second this: a "cheap phone" don't surpasses the US$100 barrier...

    An armed society is a polite society.

    I can think of guerrillas in Colombia and Favelas in Rio, as counter-examples

    Everybody is "a thief"... I'm one, you are one. The law is made to protect us from barbarity (that can be made with weapons, for example...) - "guns" are not the answer for nothing "civilized"...

    Or legislation: the seller should be liable for the loss of the goods, unless they can show a receipt with a signature and a photo of who signed. Something like that. It shouldn't be up to the consumer to solve the problem, because they are the ones least able to fix it.
