    Although its ofcourse nice to have permalinks, even the ones that are
    ment as such can break given enough time (nothing is forever).   As
    such I, when its looks worthwhile or even just interresting, have the
    habit of copying the offered information to my local machine.

    Hi Rudy & Carlos,

    Rest assured I'm well aware your entire lives you've been told you were stupid, which has never happened to me - so we're entirely different types.

    Bingo! There you are with your insults. Not reading the rest, whatever
    it says.

    Oh, I see you added the privacy group, to spread the insults more.

    I forgot to mention that sometimes you participate in the same thread
    with more than one alias, which is a very trollish behaviour.

    How many detailed tutorials have you posted to this newsgroup Carlos?

    Why would I?

    You haven't actually published any one, either.

    Reset the phone, and next time when an app wants a login then refuse to
    prevent having the account stored on the phone. If you're just
    protesting Google, don't login to any newly loaded app that wants you to
    specify a Google account, so it doesn't get stored on your phone. After
    a reset, there are no accounts stored on the phone. It is after *you*
    specify a login that either the app will store it locally to itself, or
    load it into Accounts in the Android OS.

    There are only 3 known Google apps which infest Android with a login.
    And each of those 3 Google apps has a privacy-aware replacement.

    What replacement is there for Google Wallet?
