What Is Evil?

Well, we have the answer to the question of when the WiFi and bluetooth problems with the Nexus 4 (and 7, and 10) Google devices will be fixed.  And we didn't get the answer from Google, we got it from the Android Police, who tell us that Android 4.2.2 will be released February/March.

4.2.2 is a bug fix release, in which they will reportedly fix things, oh, like WiFi and bluetooth on Nexus devices.

Which sort of brings up the question: is it evil of Google to sell product which they know is defective, and to do so for months without telling us?  And then to sort of, unannounced-like slip out a software release that silently fixes things?

Google's definition of what is evil appears to be somewhat flexible.

  4. Got the 4.2.2 last night and yes, picture messaging still does not work! Bug fixes, yeah right! So frustrating!

  5. Also there seems to be a problem sending and receiving text messages. They arrive 6 times when 1 message sent. When sending a message I get a warning that the message has not been sent, when in fact it has!!
