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".
When Android 12 finally arrives this fall, we want our favorite apps to be ready for it. There are a few ways Google could help make that happen.
I haven't used a Samsung phone in a long time because I thought I would hate it. I was wrong.
Why is it so hard for laptop makers to get the keyboard and trackpad right? I really want something new, but can't do it because I type all day.
At some point, throwing money into the sea will start to look like a bad idea and LG will just call it quits. I hate those kinds of days.
Never give up hope because no matter how bad it feels, there is someone out there that loves you enough to move a mountain.
It's the right size, has user-expandable storage, and a fast-but-cheap Ryzen 3 chip inside. There is a lot to love about the Acer Chromebook Spin 514.
Google's online services are connected in multiple ways. This makes it nice and convenient but also means one tiny glitch can bring everything down.
A simple line of Moto G phones that meet three price points would be a great way to kick off an incredibly-specced Moto G flagship.
It's a matter of when not if we'll see Samsung go all-Exynos, and seeing a powerful new breed of Exynos SoC would mean good things for Samsung phones and their competition.
Android apps on Windows is an idea that faces so many hurdles it's unlikely to be very good. And a "not very good" Android experience is the last thing anyone needs.
