"I don’t remember when it first started happening, but most say it was
when Android 4.2 began hitting devices. The new features and changes in
Jelly Bean, 4.2, were certainly welcome additions, but my Nexus’ new
found love of life in the slow-lane was not. I have not spent a full
year using the Nexus 7 as a daily driver, only the last six months. So
at first, I didn’t notice just how bad things had gotten. I thought
maybe it was an illusion from using so many high-end Android phones.
Until I started asking around.
I can’t find one person who has been using the Nexus 7 for an extended
period of time, and hasn’t seen a massive downgrade in performance. Just
what kind of downgrade are we talking here? I cannot pick up my Nexus 7
without experiencing problems like a lag of ten seconds, or more, just
to rotate the display; touches refusing to acknowledged; stuttering
notification panel actions; and unresponsive apps."

Will Google start paying more taxes than it's legally obligated?
