  1. The comparison is wrong on Is Kitkat Killing Lollipop Uptake? · · Score: 1

    It mentions that people were not upgrading because XP was good enough but with Lollipop the problem is that for so many (almost all) devices it's still not available.
    I would upgrade right away if it would have been available for my phone.

    People don't usually change PIN's so I would expect there are no "common" PIN's in the list. It's a number that comes with the card and you just use it.

    First they came for the communists,

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for the Catholics,

    and there was no one left to speak out for me.
