Technically Nexus devices have always been "at cost" to Google, since it's the OEM who gets the profit off the hardware sales in exchange for Google controlling the experience. So Rubin's statement about "selling…
"What the hell? How is the PageRank patent not protection to Google?" Because it belongs to Stanford University, not Google.
But the "vanishingly few" are often the most significant features of a particular years iOS upgrade, whereas Google's 1st party apps are for the most part decoupled with the major differences between 4.X and 2.X being…

Win8 contracts seem very similar to Android's "Intent" functionality.
> "Well my app just happens to run smaller on your huge screen" approach." Android has adequate methods of dealing with that (density independent pixels, Relative positioning/Box model of layout) so I still think…
