Yeah? Try updating to Lollipop - a upgrade guaranteed to run your nexus 7 at half speed.

On topic, I pulled my card details from my Google wallet at the beginning of the year - just waiting for the big breach.

I'm assuming people get these things by using soures other than Google Play for their apps.
I don't like the locking in model that Apple uses, but you an see the point. It makes it much harder for things like this to spread.
