This past week myself and Alex represented AC over at the IFA show in Berlin, joined by Derek Kessler and Mark Guim from Windows Central. Oh, and that Phil guy. He was here.
This week, it's all about better, not more.
Apps don't just happen. A trip to the Big Android BBQ Europe gave me a fresh perspective on how challenging it is to make great Android applications.
Some Sunday musings as we get ready for the silly season.
Grab a beverage and join us to read an update on some changes coming to Android Central.
It's been a long, insane week. And it's a working weekend. And maybe we all could spend a little more time away from the keyboard. But there's something we should talk about.
I'm a trusting person. Maybe it's my age — having grown up as part of a generation that was still allowed to play outside unsupervised. Or maybe it's a Southern thing. But Google? Google probably knows more about me than anyone.
"I saw on Facebook that ..." No. Stop. You didn't see anything on Facebook. You saw something that Facebook wanted you to click on.

Since it's (another) working weekend, some quick hits to get a few things off my chest ...
The world is in 360 degrees. it's about time our cameras caught up to it.
Two of my favorite connected home products haven't changed much in years. That's a little cause for concern, though there's nothing wrong with reliability.
New features always are a fun thing, and we've just rolled out a long-awaited improvement to the site — particularly for those of you outside the United States.
Not having an app drawer isn't exactly a new phenomenon, nor is it something any self-respecting smartphone nerd should ever worry about.
There's that line in "The Force Awakens" where Han Solo gives the tl;dr of everything you missed so far. "It's true. All of it." Great line. And applicable to much of what I'm seeing today.
Home, finally, from what probably is our best Mobile World Congress yet.
We head to Barcelona this week for Mobile World Congress. And as we do every year, we're going to cover the crap out of it.
