Goog point
Another formulation of the problem is that Google should update their cache more often. A number of papers offer their articles for free for 3 days, but you must pay for access to older articles (e.g. www.independent.co.uk and their "Portfolio"), so they won't complain about this being cached as long as it is deleted after it ceases to be cached when it becomes inaccessible to the public.
On the other hand, speaking from a position of technical ignorance, are there meta-tags that could provide this kind of expiration info on a page/user basis? If so, perhaps it's an education issue; if not, then there should be!
...why the OS matters to consumers in what is a consumer device? All it has to do is provide applications that work ("all" he says...;-)
I got my "smart phone" deliberately as a computing device to include programming and things like ssh terminal ages ago (it's HTC/PPC based, but there are Linux based alternatives... now), but the iPhone isn't aimed at sad nerds, it's aimed at my children and if they showed any interest in anything beneath the up-front applications I'd be surprised and pleased.
Why is it that all the really loony actions by "Christians" are always supported by texts from the OLD Testament: you know, the bit that's shared with the other "peoples of the book". The New Testament, especially the Gospels, define and differentiate Christianity, so please quote from there!
