Every multinational corporation does it, this isn't even a new thing as it has been happening for forever. Corporations will do anything they can to minimize taxes, just like people do.
You are so funny APK, you couldn't win an argument with a wet paper bag.
If you are so highly recommended, why do you always use the same quotes? Surely you should have more quotes by now.
You also didn't actually refute his statement, you are modded down because no one wants to hear about your shitty software. If you want to make a story all about your hosts file solution, submit a story, and watch it voted down into oblivion.
I can buy a PC from any manufacturer running Windows and get security updates from Microsoft. Why can't I do the same with third party Android phones?
Talk to the carriers about that. This is not something you can pin on Google, it is carrier greed and need for control that you are seeing.
And what about third party phones running Google licensed versions of Android? Microsoft doesn't just provide updates for Surface computers.
Many of them can be updated to whatever you like, it just might not work properly because of Qualcomm's control issues.
It's "cute" and all but why if MS makes it their responsibility to support their licensed OS on third party hardware then why doesn't Google do the same?
I am sure Google would love to control updates on their phones, but the Carriers and Manufacturers, and Qualcomm won't let them.
Do you not speak English? You are arguing things I didn't say.
Google updates the only phones they can update, which is the Nexus phones. All the other phones are the carriers holding them up, not Google. Apple stops supporting phones too, despite your venom.
Apple is guilty of the same thing. In this case, it isn't Google doing anything of the kind, it is usually the carrier as they feel they HAVE to load their crapware on every phone.
Apple and Google have pretty much the same support time frame.
When iOS 8 shipped, the iPhone 4 was not supported anymore. That is 4 years.
Google supports their Nexus line for 3 years.
Most phone batteries frankly don't last past 2 years anyways, and as they aren't replaceable on most phones anymore, the phone lasts only as long as its battery. Expecting companies to support their products forever is naive at best.
Here is a cute little comparison chart of Apple vs Google in support timeframes.
3 sats gives you a 2d fix, it tells you where on the globe you are, and is extremely inaccurate (couple hundred feet). 6 sats gives you altitude as well which makes it accurate to a couple feet. More sats after 6 increases the accuracy of the fix, but it depends on the receiver if it can use more than 6 at a time. I used to do repair work on 12 channel GPS receivers, so there are receivers that handle well more than 6 sats at one time.
I had one of their songs come on while driving into work this morning and thought to myself how much the singer sounds like Eminem. They are pretty good though, not what I would generally call Rap as they actually do sing at times, whereas Rap music seems to always consist of the people just speaking in rhyme and not any actually singing to the music.

I would expect that anyone applying for a government grant would have access to a local library which typically has many Windows computers available free for anyone to use.
From what I read, the FBI sent the letters off to the fingerprinting office to determine who sent them, then chatted with him and found he was trying to impress a woman, then closed the case. How do you expect that they would figure out who sent them without the investigation part? What parts would you have had them not perform?
"One Nation THUMP Under God THUMP with Liberty and Justice for All". I always wondered why that didn't flow smoothly until I learned that the religious right rammed it in as an afterthought just to show the Godless Commies.
Or perhaps is has to do with you pausing before under god for some reason when the pause is only after under god.
"In God We Trust". Right on the money.
So, this is somehow forcing you to believe in the Christian God, vs the Jewish, Muslim, or whoever else's god/gods, or none at all?
Any number of states and communities attempting to pass "anti-Sharia" laws
Let me guess, blocking religious law from becoming state law is now a bad thing?
fighting to display the 10 Commandments on public property. Not to mention the occasional cross atop the water tower.
You do realize that this is not against the First amendment right? Preventing others from displaying their religious symbols however is.
Organized high school sports. Just try and avoid the FCA without suffering the consequences.
In english please? I do believe that there has been much from the Left restricting people from praying, even on their own quietly to themselves at team sporting events...that is against religious liberty.
But the're not forcing anyone. Oh, no.
Where is the law stating that you must be a Christian and must go to church on Sundays?

It isn't even like refining gasoline is terribly difficult, it is just a matter of temperature control in the condensing phase.

Says the Apple fan-boy acting like Apple has never had a single exploit.
No, but you could buy a new phone already. That thing has got to be like 4 years old already.
with the selective degradation (is that still on?)
No, Clinton had it turned off in May 2000.

It was called Selective Availability, though that name never made much sense to me.

Wouldn't GPS be a sextiangulation? You need 6 sats for a 3d fix.
Aww, you poor dear, did the IT guy stop you from surfing porn and jerking off at work?

No one ever let them in on the secret that the 72 virgins were other male suicide bombers...

Considering that in the US there are more guns than people, and how many people travel, that is a damn weird looking bell curve.
