#2Google is in dire need for a marketing unit, that educates regular consumers about the possibilities of the applications and products Google has.
Otherwise Google always ends up with low traction for a lot of its products. And sometimes these products are killed.
It seems Google wants to do consumer tech only to get money to be able to do high tech. But otherwise it has no real interest in consumer tech.

And then follows the "search the title on google", and so on and so on.
It's from the Wall Street Journal, of course it's paywalled. Can we just have a macro that auto-pastes the same conversation thread for each wsj.com article, and save us all a lot of typing?

#6If the new new new (how many times has it been relaunched so far?) Google Wallet doesn't support the same kind of tokenization as Apple Pay, but instead continues to sell tracking data to merchants and banks and whatnot, then Wallet remains dead to me.

#7To revive Wallet, Google needs to make it usable. I'm not exactly unsaavy to the ways of a phone, but on the last phone I had with NFC there was no explanation of how to get it to work at POS (and how to set it up it all isn't very clear). Does the phone need to be awake? Do I need to run an app? I tried it once, didn't work, never touched it again. Mobile payment is something I'm just not going to put a lot of effort into.
Contrast to Apple Pay. Held the phone up, prompted for fingerprint, done.

Is that attitude directed at me? I'm sorry if I was supposed to know that the WSJ is always paywalled.
Not that I can immediately think of any instances where I've read the WSJ recently.
If I have read it recently, it was probably using someone else's bypass that I was unaware of.
If you could make more plain exactly where you're directing that... exasperation... that'd be fantastic. As right now, it looks directed at me and frankly, I don't think it's deserved.

Just a general observation of a long and oft repeating pattern. I'm dead serious about the macro, though.
