Not a good start for phones branded as Google-made hardware. | | But lead is heavier than feathers.  For the first time since the international system of units (SI) launched in 1960, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is redefining four basic units of measurement, not by any human metric but by the immutable forces of the universe. | | Shame on you, noodle harasser.
