Title seems misleading, the post said Andy is moving on to other things at Google.

Edit: fixed (it used to be "Google lets go Andy Rubin", which is generally a euphemism for fired)

Sort-of thank you to the mod who changed the title. The old one ("Google lets go its (sic) Android head Andy Rubin, appoints Sundar Pichai") was editorializing and incorrect, but the new one ("Update from the CEO") is completely useless.

On a related note, I find it rather fascinating that Andy is planning on staying in Google.

    Andy’s decided it’s time to hand over the
    reins and start a new chapter at Google.

I wonder what the real story is.

>>Today Chrome has hundreds of millions of happy users and is growing fast thanks to its speed, simplicity and security.

Simplicity and security, fine. But speed? That's hardly the reason people prefer Chrome these days.

Why put the (sic) tag there? Should it have been "it's" which expands to "Google lets go it is Android head..."?

He's done quite a good job of increasing Android adoption, so my guess would be that he'll be working on the hardware/nexus side of things.

what an unhelpful title

EDIT: for those downvoting me, how is "Update from the CEO" in any way relevant to the article's content?

The lack of "of"?

I suspect that Andy is not in fact staying on at Google but instead this is a golden parachute in which he will pretend to stick around as "a consultant to the CEO" before leaving.
