I get an HTTP 404 not found >The requested URL /fourten was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

Unless I open the url with chrome. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF THE OPEN INTERNET /s

The new phones, the Pixel and Pixel XL are rumored to start at $649 for the smaller phone in the smallest memory configuration of 32gb. If true, this would mean the old Nexus line is well and truly dead and Google is taking the Apple approach to pricing. The Pixel brand is supposed to be premium at a premium price but currently has one product that fills that niche (the Pixel Chromebook) and one that doesn't (the fai…

I doubt many people will buy a $649 phone with run of the mill specs and only 18 months of updates even if it was made by Google (whatever that means). Google might not remember but nobody bought the Chromebook Pixel or the Pixel C.

All(?) of the top-end Androids in the Verizon store are priced at $650 and above.

I got that 404 several times with firefox and none with chrome.

The redirect to madeby.google.com works now, I wonder what happened...

Whatever it is, judging by the source code, it seems to be called "TenFour". This redirects, too http://google.com/tenfour

Or TenFour refers to the announcement date: 10/4.

Or someone ported TenFourFox to it.

...Okay, maybe not that.

Why 18? Nexus line had 3 years of support and still continues to receive security updates after that.

If you were leading the Pixel phone effort what would you choose as the top three market differentiators? To start one small thing I'd do is match Apple on the length of update support window.

Hardware encryption support like the iPhone has so I can securely use a PIN instead of text password.

SD card slot

Extensions for Chrome browser on Android

In countries where we have the joy of buying phones without contracts, the majority of the customer, doesn't go above the 300€ line, when paying the full price out of their pockets.

My guess? a smart phone that has machine vision built in? ten four? sounds like tensor flow - machine learning. Interesting how the search box grew to include images...

Like the already available App "Goggles" built right into the OS...might be possible. It is quite amazing what Goggles achieves actually (recognises places and things with very high certainty (aka reverse image search but nonetheless..))

I hope it's the next step on. Goggles 2010 would compare the photo for similarities with other photos (I guess) where I'd like to think this would know the objects within the photo. This would likely improve better feedback. I'm likely wrong, but you never know.
