Google services outage and android crashes

Yesterday afternoon, I've started experiencing hiccups in my Galaxy Nexus (Running 4.2.1).
Crashes, phone getting stuck without provocation from my side, sluggish performance.
Turns out Google's services had a major disruption yesterday.
Coincidence? I don't think so. Problematic? Very much. But this is what we sign for, and this is why Google's devices are so cheap... Actually, Apple's devices are the same in terms of cloud dependency (Siri, iCloud etc.), but you pay more...

In the meantime, legislation is having it's way with Apple's software patents. That is good news for ANYONE creating software these days. (Read the last paragraph of this post for more).
