There are several solutions for the enterprise to get Windows programs running on Chromebooks. There are also several reasons why one might work better than others. In the end, though, it's all about money.
Epic's lawyers aren't afraid of hyperbole, but they are 100% right when saying that Google and Apple are tied together. There really is no need to get iPhone users to switch to Android for Google to make mountains of money.
OnePlus is the Android enthusiast brand. So why did it think nobody would notice that it was trashing our favorite apps?
Nobody likes the idea of old watches not getting updated, but that's what's needed to fix the platform for everyone.
Do you like streaming media? Do you like to play games? Do you like reasonable monthly subscription fees? I think Microsoft is going to have just what you're looking for — and soon.
It is possible to work with Android's permissions model, consider the security challenges mobile devices bring, and still include browser extensions the right way. Google could do it if it really wanted to.
The hardware I want to buy is already out there. I'm just waiting to see how the software side will turn out.
With Android 12, Google is going to try and take the Pixel 6 into the mainstream. It may be a success or backfire, but at least Google would finally be showing up for the fight.
Android 12 is unfinished, probably filled with bugs and even Google tells you to not use it on your daily driver. But dammit, I need it now.
The AirTags biggest feature is what makes it a nightmare when it comes to security, safety, and privacy — more than a billion iOS users can track one, but none of the billions of Android users can.
Google is supposed to care about making money because that's how big business works. Everything else — including this newfound interest in making content easier to find on tablets — is just a side effect.
FLoC is currently the best plan to actually preserve our privacy. But because Google is behind it, a lot of other companies are worried that Google will extend its ad platform at the expense of competitors.
Android 12 looks kind of bad, but don't worry. It's not going to look this way on your phone unless you bought a Pixel. For the rest of us, Samsung, OnePlus, and other manufacturers will give Android 12's visual overhaul the polishing it needs.
No phone is perfect, and if you're a picky man who is set in his ways you'll find things that bug you. I am that man and this is my list.
Google can fix the global shortage of Snapdragon chips. All it needs to do is build its own, and then get them into devices that it can actually sell to people.
A Google-designed chip inside the next Pixel sounds like a great idea. But Google has a tough hill to climb if it wants to build its own chipset without breaking the bank or making the Pixel line too expensive to buy.
You can already sideload Steam onto your Chromebook and making it great will take more than just a new Game Mode. You're gonna want a decent GPU, and none are to be found (yet).
It seems that making a great product isn't enough when it comes to a fickle phone market. If OnePlus wants to try, now is the time to make a move.
You don't need it, but one day you might. OK, not really. But it's still really darn cool!
If Google wants to protect our data it has to limit who can access it. Some things shouldn't be "open".
