    It's even worse. They already have something called Android One. I'm sure this won't cause any confusion.

    This is the reason I think Amazon will end up winning the cloud computing race. Providing support is simply not in Googles DNA.

    Not only is formal methods more effective for HW, the incentives are also more tilted towards HW. If you fuck up the HW design, well..you're fucked. With SW, "you can always push o…

    This would make sense if the other entities were actually making, which they don't. Cut the ties to Google and everything else dies.

    I'm surprised Verizon hasn't "transitioned" these legacy accounts to a "newer, better and faster" ( cough ) accounts.. I presume there are some legal reason why they haven't done s…

    Just to be clear. Emil Michael never floated the idea about doing oppo research to her face. This was done during a gathering with some journalists where Ben Smith from Buzzfeed wa…

    The only people Infosys discriminates against is people who don't like to be underpaid.

    Adding this kind of friction only discourages people with good intentions. It doesn't stop people with not so noble intentions (who are most likely backed with a lot of money)

    This is really a nice visual comparison of Google Maps and Apple Maps over the years. The gist of the article is that Google has deemphasized roads in favor of showing places, e.g.…

    I think you're looking at this wrong. It's not that a startup chooses between young/inexperienced/cheap vs old/experienced/expensive. It's that a startup doesn't get to choose beca…

    IANAL, but how can this be legal? Aren't they effectively agreeing not to compete? Surely this can't be right?

    Yeah. Their biggest purchase is Beats at $3B, which is astonishing low for a corporate giant like Apple. I'm not sure whether this is due to prudence or just NIH syndrome.
