THE TOOLS AT HAND AT GOOGLE
Odd that this has popped up at this moment in time due to what I am doing? My Blogger App, which is coded by Google to work on Google's Operating System, Android, is back to playing up yet again. One of the things that I did hope would be solved upon acquiring the tablet back from PC World? Fat chance of that but then I doubted this at any rate because it also occurs on my Moto G phone.
So two smart devices of tablet and phone with one being the Advent VEGA Tegra Note 7 Tablet and the other being the Moto G smartphone and both with the exact same version of Android on them and both having the exact same issues.
Unfortunately Google cannot escape because despite this being software specific they own both forms of software with both the Blogger App and the Android Operating System. It is one or 'tother.
Oddly I havve not heard anything about this issue in the media and normally anything to do with Google being innovative, greedy and sinister or just plain incompetent the news networks are normally all over it!
At the end of the day I have two completely different devices but with the exaxt same software and both playing up in certain areas. Ergo I cannot be the only one and there must be thousands with the same issue currently?
I will do a quick search on the INternet in a moment and see, something I have not done thus far.
I also see they are still handing out billions of pounds for ever more company and this one being the company that can film Earth from a satellite to even show moving vehicles on roads. To be honest when I forst heard about this company I did think that Google would show an interest.
I should code something out of the ordinary, something that would grab news headlines as Google will come along and give me $3 Billion and I can then go and help people worthy of help!
I find it odd that they have such conflicting facts about themselves in the media that all these business people seem to have failed to pick up on?
1 - Buy lots of Companies
2 - Make Billions in advertising
3 - Announced there adverts are ... WELL SHITE basically and they did not need to tel me that as I have them on my blogs!
4 - However they are still buying companies despite their advertising being crap?!
5 - Other companies seem to get fined and into trouble for infringements that Google have made?!
Conflicting and contradictory is it not? That is how these annoucements have appeared to me and in all honesty I fond it amazing that no one has commented on this in the media.
This reminds me I have not looked at my earnings with them in awhile now, chances I am about to get the smallest measley payment when I need it most? NONE, no doubt?!
LOL.
Hmm £27.99 so no not even close, lol. Even if this figure is supposed to grow faster and faster as time goes on and the weekly visitors continue to rise! This does not include my YouTube account by the way which is probably still on zero, wait let me check?
Yup after over 43, 000 visits and 4,793 minutes watched I have made the grand total of ZERO?! LMAO! Out of 1,179 videos too.
It gets better because if you recall, unless your fairly new, I stated that their maths was way out and that they could not count? Well they have actually just admitted this themselves and have announced it and have actually GUESSED how much they have undercounted?!
Unbelievable? Well take a gander ...

HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KITKAT

THE DUMB OPERATING SYSTEMS
I think I am going to walk away from Google's Android Operating System. It just seems to be slowly becoming a horrible place to be!
As some of you know I bought three Advent Tegra Note 7 Tablet PC Computers. One for me and two on behalf of friends as presents for their two girls. Well I already had to replace one of the two given for a new one which were given out as Christmas presents and now I have the second one in my home and I will be exchanging it when I return it tomorrow?!
Starting to wonder now when my one will give up the ghost?!
But regardless of this nor peering on my mind I am having other issues!
Google Play has gone from being interesting and exciting to browse to a pain in the arse I really am getting more and more feed up with using!!!
First of all there are an absolute myriad of shit on their and I do mean shit! I have list count of the number of things I have downloaded that do not work, nothing like their description and died not do what it says on the tin!! Then there are the fecking games that are just plain greedy and preying on that gaming urge that is a primary instinct in us all! In app purchases is what I am getting at!
That is of course after all the utter shite you click on because the picture looks cool, mainly suggesting a first person shooter with console class graphics, only to see the screenshots and think ' what the FECK is this shit, it looks like the old days of 8 BIT gaming?!'
Of course yeah that is why I searched for something with an nVidia Tegra 4 processor so that I can play 1980s games and gear up the planet with all the wasted extra power?! Lol!.
I also got a an App Shifter and that is what it is actually called, unless your looking at it on Google Play then it's called something fecking else entirely. I moved a few dozen apps including some big games. Only lately I have been clicking in things and being told it is not installed?!
This happened with an app I bought, OfficeSuite Pro, because Quick Office is now crap because Google got ahold of it and I paid a tenner fit that too!! Only I have just realised that my documents in this app are NOT BEING SAVED TO GOOGLE DRIVE?!
For the love of a fecking GOD!!
Then tonight I realised that my new game I was playing of GT RACING 2 (real racing it states) had also give missing?! I then opened App Shifter only to click on SD Card apps to see just TWO!! TWENTY TWO would be closer!!
Then there is the game itself, ever since I bought something IN-APP things went downhill... FAST!!
I ended up with a Toyota GT85 II. Only straight away I was having difficulties and found that I had to drift to stand any chance of going around a bend and stating competitive with race leaders!! I thought that maybe some upgrades would since this. This was also because other cars were rounding bends perfectly level and without drifting! I ended up maxing the upgrades to the car without realising and things remained the same. Also despite being maxed out I was being offered upgrades before each race?!
Also I was seemingly spinning out each time someone touched me which was not happening to them and added to this they were never spinning out. Then there is the old positions remain the same syndrome within the race energy your the only one ever doing any overtaking or even being overtaken?!
Another common thing is never getting higher than 8th after several attempts on one track and then getting first in the next race at the first go?!
Some tracks feels as if my tyres are manufactured using ice while others not quite so bad. Maybe cardboard, lol.
The last updated, like the other two, have made absolutely no fecking difference to Android and added to this the swipe keyboard is still substituting words whereby you got it spot on but it offers you not only the WRONG WORD but often not even one that starts with the same letter?! You know the...letter...that... you... touched... on... first... which... you... would... not... make... a... mistake with!!!
If your going to scree up the coding at least get the wetting word that starts with the correct letter for Christ sakes?!
If I was Eric Schmidt and I had some Android OS as a business solution I would be crapping my pants right about now!!
So I am getting extremely feed up with Google and Android.
Only the alternatives are crap!
Sorry Apple I know you would like many to think that your system is great but that it's not doing well because the rest of the world is voting and infringing, but no!
I simply never realised just how bland the iOS was until I had a few weeks to mess around with one. Also I hate iTunes as it is also bland and on Windows it is good awful slow! Mac OS is much better as an OS to look at and use!
Maybe Jason Bradbury was not plugging Microsoft's Surface 2 dye to sponsorship?
But then where Google and Android have a problem with being far too laid back and open Microsoft are the polar opposite and doggedly sticking to their closed system which would not be that bad if not for preventing a number of other people coding browsers for their system!
My mate had the options of IE and UC?! No Safari, Dolphin, Chrome, Firefox or any others either.
So one choice is far too bland and boring added to way over expensive in Apple.
Another is far too awkward, butt ugly and closed system with not many apps or choices with Microsoft.
Lastly you have far too many choices, too unstable, far too many so issues and lazy or incompetent coding with Google.
Now what annoys me is that any one of these could read this and realise that they could alter their system to stand head and shoulders above the other two?!
However I will wager that they won't!
Or maybe one of the many others I have been hearing about will rise like a Phoenix from the flames and keep above the other two?!
If it is the latter paragraph I got they then do not just become the fourth arsewipe in a long list of arsewipes?! If it is greedy shareholders that come along then suddenly decide that they know better than the inventors... well get them to read this oust and I will tell them to shut the feck up and go back and crawl under the rich from whence they came!
In the meantime I can only hope that things improve and I suspect now that it just might be the big 'M' as they are already working to replace the travesty that was Windows 8, with Windows 9 of whatever it ends up being called?

NOT HAD A BREAK, STILL NOT HAD KITKAT
I am afraid it's likely that only older British and Irish possibly will get the title reference here, lol.
For those that do not know it comes from an old advert for the KitKat chocolate confectionary. Some guys or women would be working hard under stress. Then the coffee or tea break would come where they would get some respite. Then one would grab a KitKat and you would hear someone say 'Have a break...' then the chocolate fingers would be snapped in two and then you would hear '... have a Kitkat.'
I am not speaking of the chocolate confectionary of course! Well not the actual chocolate confectionary but the Google Android Operating System version that was named KitKat. Whether or not money was changed hands over this and whether this is right or wing is never here not there.
Another surprise is I have not used Kitkat and this is not a review of it, unfortunately. In fact this is why it states I have not had my KitKat. However I do need to explain why I have had no break!! Lol.
Before I do that I will describe briefly my last two Android devices. Both manufactured by Motorola one I loved and was indestructable, that was until I broke it, and another that was supposed to be the most powerful smartphone on Earth, but is faulty, slow, used, secondhand and I often want to hurl at a wall!
Lol.
Now there came with one or other particular version of Android. Now I do not recall the version on the first one, the Defy, updating at all. The second one, the Atrix, updated immediately and never updated again!
I am presently using, to type out this post and most others of late, an Advent Tegra Note 7 Tablet PC. Which I bought before Christmas. It is still January and yet this device, which stated off with Jellybean I think, has now updated the times?!
Now one of the reasons I opted for this device and Android to try and continue and expand my work online was due to a big hooha over Kitkat. The owners of Kitkat, Nestle I think, were even reported to have paid money to have their chocolate paired with it. They said it was more streamlined while better and faster in every way.
I am always of the belief then when technology journalists start to make big hoohas over something new it is either revolutionary or everything that went before was actually garbage?! Now as one of the magazines I bought to read about KitKat and brought my attention to it was Android Magazine and the entire cover artwork was in the theme of the Kitkat confectionary chocolate wrapper! So yes a hoohar indeed!
As some of you know very recently I have been livid with this device and it has crashed, several spoofs do not work properly and all force close. Quite bizarrely these are also been Google's too?!
So the device updated almost immediately, well after a few hours, and I thought 'bloody hell it updated to KitKat already?!' but no. It was just on top of Christmas when it updated again. I thought 'finally I have been updated to KitKat!!' ... but no! By this time I was using the device a great deal for typing. I was also having a lot of issues too. But I could not tell with absolute certainty that it was wise now than before it updated but I would put money on it that this was the case.
Tonight I switched the tablet on and I received a message to stare that there was yet ANOTHER update available! It stated that this one was to fix stability issues among other things. When I started it it then started optimising apps, which I had never seen an update do before. This took about ten minutes too and I was interested to see if the issues stopped? I had to ask myself...
Why in the hell have there been so many updates in such a short space if time?!
If the issues I had were down to that LST update, last and so with the fecking LST replacing the word 'last' issue and deck knows what LST is?! Oh yeah so why and how the hell did that last update get released?!
So I am finally on KitKat... well, NO. I might remind you that the title states I have still had no Kitkat?!
This device was advertised by all as receiving Kitkat.
In just over a month I have received three updates and still not on KitKat when my two previous devices received one between them over three years?!
An interesting comparison, don't you think? Note I have to wonder if oddities like this have ever been reported by these technology journalists that want you to now pay a bloody small fortune and every body month for their magazines?!
And if not, THEN WHY NOT?!
LMAO!
