My Nexus 10 has just received and installed this update.
Scooted around the tablet and number of changes noted are 0.
Wait! While writing this I noticed a new smiley icon that brings up a smiley/symbols/icon keyboard.
Was apparently there already. However, have noticed the wifi and battery indicators have lost some colour.
Number of changes noted remain at 1.

If you mean in the bottom right corner of the virtual keyboard, then that was an update a couple of weeks ago to Keyboard - my Nexus 7 with V4.3 has that. If not, please don;t tell me they changed the damn punctuation around again: unless to put it back as it was (he said, hopefully, but without any conviction that they would)

hmm, now I don't know if it was there or not. It is normally hidden by my hand so maybe just not noticed it before 
|

Is all the punctuation where you expected it to be? If so, then you had the update a few weeks ago - I seem to remember complaining about it here. (Still annoys me now...)

My Nexus 7 is still on 4.3. Here's[^] a summary of what's new in KitKat.

I've actually been through this with a customer. The only way I've found to deal with these problems is if your BIOS is password-protected, and you disable the hardware in the BIOS.
The alternative is to buy your brother a cheap laptop of his own, and let him trash it at will. If he touches yours, beat the crap out of him.
Software Zen: delete this;

Typically, a 20oz framing hammer judiciously applied to the back of the suspects hand takes care of the problem.

Disable usb with
Disable usb[^]
and disable CDROM with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
Double Click on AutoRun and change the value to 0. This will stop it from automatically starting.
If you double click on start and change the Value to 0, it should disable it.

Recently I deactivated Google Analytics for my blog Software Engineering Candies - no tracking anymore! In the past I used Google Analytics to record data about usage, but I decided to stop this tracking and deleted all historical data and reports.
If we compain that NSA, GCHQ, BND and all the others agencies spy us, we should stop to collect data about visitors of our own webpages.
I know that this will not change a lot, but these are my 50 cents to make the internet a better place. We need the freedom to surf without being spied in every detail of personal life.
Maybe you do the same for your pages and/or you share this idea with friends which have a personal page and/or blog.
Kind Regards

I admire the thought but I think you should put it in perspective.
Firstly, your blog itself is powered by Google sites. Your visitors are tracked. End of story.
Secondly, tracking by collecting anonymous information, or tagging a person in order to build an anonymous profile and hence provide targeted advertising is very, very different than scanning emails and phone calls looking for keywords to score you and determine whether to send the boys in dark suits and dark glasses to pay you a visit.
<soapbox>
I honestly feel that the Snowden and Wikileaks stuff has made people more aware (good) but propagated extreme and unwarranted paranoia (bad) and has compromised countries' abilities to protect and compete against those entities that are truly, deeply malicious in their data interception (very, very bad).
Privacy has become a soap opera issue where everyone says "it's bed" without understanding fully what's being done, in what capacity, and why. There's a huge jumping-on-the-bandwagon mentality happening. Visa and my cellphone company know way WAY more about me, my spending habits, where I go, who I talk to, and what I own than any government in the world. And I actually let them - in fact I pay them to have this data.
Yes, there needs to be oversight to protect your personal data but what about the data already in non-governmental agencies? Take a look at how many people have suffered identity theft because employees at credit agencies have sold their information.
Take stock of what tracking currently happens. Decide whether it even matters, whether it may in fact help you get to things that interest you, and how easy it is to nuke whatever tie-in that tracking has to you (delete your cookies and you're free). Then decide if you're actually that important or even vaguely interesting to whomever's doing the tracking and think to yourself what would happen if the institutions whose job it was to protect a country could not actually do their job.
My previous employment has given me, admittedly, a unique perspective on this and I totally agree safeguards and common sense need to be in place, but for me it's like traffic cops: I'd much rather risk a $150 fine for doing 10kmh over the limit than not have anyone there for the crazies driving at 180kmh.
And I also know I'm just not that interesting.

That would be kinda' cool.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

No, more like this[^]. And then you'd probably have to get jiggy wit it.

Well Said.
The thought process is simple, there are probably robotic checks on electronic data and when something of importance is encountered, it is flagged and few such flag may prompt some human to look into it. Until then it is anonymous tracking just like analytics tracking.
Only typing some obvious words into your blogs or emails doesn't make you victim because the smart guys at whatever agency it is, must have had given enough thought to make sure not to increase their work-load by sending "man with black suit and dark glasses" to every blogger /email users who may use some obvious words ! Else all nasty guys will purposefully increase their load...
We discuss this at home many a times (we in India) the same thing. Its better to get policed a bit more than be in danger of some terror attack. USA is rather successful in averting major disaster after 9/11 more likely than not because of such measures (tracking /crazy airport checks and what not) they have taken post that unfortunate event.
Thanks,
Milind

Except you track usage data to improve the quality of what you offer.
The Gov tracks you to control you.
BIIIG difference
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Really?
You don't think they track you to improve the quality (and reduce the costs) of what they offer?

What exactly does the government offer? Last I checked, they only impose (i.e., we have no choice) on us things that will make them wealthier.

I kind of like the fact that it is unlikely that a bridges, offices and houses will fall down while I am on/in them.
Not to mention the vastly reduced chance that I will burn to death in any modern high rise or even many smaller business structures.
Of course when a fire does start it is rather nice to have someone come to put it out.
Rather nice that the criminal justice system is in fact very successful in the modern age for administering justice in an equitable manner. Doesn't mean it is perfect of course but then there is absolutely no way for it to be perfect.
I like being able to buy food from a number of places in a number of different forms and being almost 100% guaranteed that when I do buy it that it is in fact the food that it was claimed to be and that it will not kill me. And at a price that is incredibly low.
I like the fact that my neighbor cannot start disposing nuclear waste in his backyard just to make a few extra bucks.
