With Now on Tap, Google reaches into its trove of data on users to give them useful information based on what they are doing at the time. That includes understanding what email you're reading or knowing what dry cleaner you use.

LOL, OCD data mining much?

Sheesh.

When Android 5.02 showed up on my 2012 Nexus 7, I thought it would be great. It made the device unusable. I was able to go back to 4.4.4, but the tablet still isn’t the same (posting from it now, so at least it’s usable).

The thing that is so disappointing to me about the whole Android infrastructure is how poorly manufacturers do at keeping them updated. I have a Samsung Note 8. It shipped with Jelly Bean. There was a (late) update to KitKat. Since then, nothing. No lollipop at all so far, even though Google has put out 2 separate releases of that, and now Marshmallow appears. This wasn't a low end $100 tablet, yet Samsung appears to not really be concerned about all the threats out there for these devices.

It would seem that the only solution to keeping these tablets updated is to root them.

With a name like that it should run for the GOPe in the House or Senate.
The constitution doesn’t require that a candidate be a human.
