It' snot been pushed to my Nexus5 yet, how do I force it?
It has started drip-feeding app updates.. currently concerned about why the fuck GMail's taking all my email accounts over.
I don't mind interface minimalism, I am concerned about Google maximalism.

CASHBACK.detritus - Can only do it manually by download via PC currently... I think.set

No way to force the automatic update. You can install it manually. It's actually pretty easy and official downloads are available from Google. I think I followed these instructions >> http://www.androidpolice.com/201…

Oh, so it's still under Preview download only?
ffs, Google - for a company that totally owns search, you suck at everything else in the software space.. that you didn't buy from someone else.

So why the fuck was Matias allowed to open his presentation about "Material Design" by talking as if they were releasing a haptic display?
Fucking weird

Bought a nexus 5, installed android L. kept my 5s around just in case but decided I'm selling the iPhone. Been an iPhone guy since the beginning, but fuck brand loyalty. this is it for me and iOS. just felt like it was getting stale. I'm super surprised of actually how intuitive android is, before i just pictured tacky and cluttered UI. but the pure android experience is so nice
- Think most people's assumptions are the same. It's actually a quality OS in all regards...set

OH.
This is why I never wanted on the smartphone bandwagon — my Nexus 5 is ALREADY out of date, after a year?
pffft. Might see if 'er indoors wants a new second hand phone...
