    seems to be like this all the time in the north east when a nice astronomical event happens. Ive missed pretty much all major meteor showers in the past few years, a few lunar eclipses.

    pointing out a failure by X, when people are claiming that X never has issues is not trolling.

    believe it or not, FB app used to open chrome by default for me. in a recent update it now goes through an internal browser in the FB app. so it seems they went backwards

    no, the correct car analogy would be that the seatbelts in the car are not great and can cause death, but the car manufacturer is no longer producing that model. so you can buy aftermarket seatbelts (root +CM) or you can buy a new car. or you can live with the bad seatbelts

    by that logic why are iphone 1s not running the most up to date IOS??

    yeah, just ignore antennagate because its the users fault for holding the device wrong correct?

    apple screws up every new release (just as everyone else does) Apple is not special by any means on that front

    even if google could fix the issue, how long do you think it will take before verizon and others QA and push it through?

    right, and apple simply blames the user, "you're holding it wrong"

    the big issue with all of that is that while yes, they do push the new IOS update to all iphones once they have a new IOS, they also plan to break things on the phone in the process. since rev 1, they have a pretty much 2 year cycle when you get updates, and after 2 years the phone is so slow its pretty much useless. Im not so sure thats a better method than simply leaving well enough alone work

    But, shortly after having bought it HTC went back on their promise to udate it at least one mayor version. So now I'm fucked.

    And how exactly does one blame google for this?? Blame the handset makers and the cell companies. Its not as if you cant flash the phone and put cyanogenmod on it and be secure, google has fixed the problem as far as their end is concerned.

    good on texas based on your take on the situation. If a cop can break down your door with a no knock, you sure as heck should be allowed to fire at someone breaking down your door and not get in trouble for it.

    so did i

    take all the money spent on welfare programs, and cut a 1 time check to people to jumpstart their lives (bail out the poor)

    That amounts to $20,610 for every poor person in America, or $61,830 per poor family of three.

    Now give that money to the individual and let them get back on their own feet, cut the bureaucracy out, cut the reoccurring costs, and let people get back to their lives without interference
