History observers will know that Google started the forced auto-update and permanent beta culture. "We know better than users".

When all is said and done, Google can die off or fail as a business, but this and persistent data collection as a norm will remain its most lasting "contributions".

I absolutely hate auto-updates on anything. Of course this is always met with "but security issues..." YOU BROUGHT SECURITY ISSUES BY MAKING EVERYTHING NETWORKED AND IN A PERPETUALLY UNFINISHED STATE!!!

And of course since everything is in a constantly broken state, it is also in a need of constant auto-updates that both break and unnecessarily change stuff without my knowledge or permission.
