Agreed with Ron's comments about Android gestures. Add to them that the hairline Back button in the gestures UI is virtually invisible in sunlight, and the oblong Home button is easily confused for the keyboard's space bar when you're typing quickly. Oh, and when you drag up on the home button...

Not sure why any military would let its troops carry phones into a combat theater. Even if you strip out GPS, cell towers could ID troop numbers and locations. Sure, phones improve morale, but so would dropping the requirement that troops carry ammo or wear dull colors (In the words of the...

You are probably correct, but https://www.denverpost.com/2007/02/05/d ... ngle-plot/

It should sell briskly in 2013.

Thanks, may try this. It was affecting the CB Pixel 2015 more than the Pixelbook until I activated the Linux beta on the Pixelbook, now they are both slow and wobbly. Will start by pulling the Linux beta off.

Chromebook Pixel 2015 on beta. Beta has slowed down a lot over last 4 months.

I have spent the last year moving away from Windows and toward Chrome. From my experience, Google seems to be slowing down or just jeopardizing what should have been a slam dunk for them. Android apps are simple, and should have enough features for home users. Windows apps just keep getting...

Ancestry sites and 23AndMe discovered 36 of this doctor's descendants. Either a whole lot more people than I thought use 23AndMe or similar sites, or that doctor contributed his essence to a whole lot more than 50 children.

Nice company you have there. Shame if something should happen to it.

I still have the original 2016 Yoga Book. Love the weight and the beautiful design. Lenovo updated it pretty often, too. The Wacom capabilities were nice, but went unused most of the time. Lenovo locked out some core Google apps, including Contacts and Calendar, and Netflix's app never...

What's the fine for driving an off-road-only vehicle on the road? Can't be enough to deter someone who has $3.5 million to spend on a car.

Verizon and AT&T still win this one. Wireless networks need relaxed rules to string the many more antennae required for urban 5G coverage. And the world is going wireless. Don't think Pai did this for Google.

Thanks for this article, Ron. Looks like you had good rapport with Murray and Poiesz, and they did a good job explaining matters. Android 9 has improved batter life by a lot on my phone. But I haven't noticed any performance drop-off. Very glad Google has made this effort.

Google's design were getting better for a while there. Now they're off on some theoretical design crusade again. Time to support your third-party developers, if only in self defense. Pay for the good apps.

Revenue-per-user growth is the problem, not user growth. Amazon will replicate most of Netflix's library, Netlix's house-brand shows are declining in quality, and with Amazon you can purchase more recent releases and other material not released to Netflix's Vegas buffet offering. The recent...

Two-touches access is not good enough for the way people used Google Now cards. Make the cards available as the default screen for the right-swipe-available Google Now. Then let us configure them to remove news altogether from this default screen, and let us set which card groups come first...

The money sending feature is just years too late. Too many competitors out there, benefiting from network effects. Can't even get those neck deep in the Google ecosystem to try it. It's dead, Jim.

Not many WASP Einsteins either. The plot sickens.....

If AT&T runs its traffic through fewer facilities to make surveillance easier, this would seem to make America's data network more susceptible to both sabotage and foreign surveillance efforts. It would be trading one sort of security for another.
