Google's P/E ratio is over twice that of Apple, which means investors think Google has a better future for growth than Apple. The biggest growth potential are the self driving car programs. Apple is certainly working on an SDC, but they started way after Google and don't have any self driving cars on the road. If Google can get a stranglehold on the SDC transportation market, then Apple is screwed when they try to sell their million dollar SDC rather than implementing it like a taxi or mass transit.

All the traditional car makers are completely hosed no matter what because they don't have the slightest clue how to do anything with software and they have no intention of learning. The first SDC off the line at Ford will find the nearest cliff and drive off of it, even if that cliff is hundreds of miles away. They'll forget to have a way to track the car, so they'll have to send out a tweet asking if anybody has seen it.

Scroogled again.

tbf to google the ethernet adaptor is actually quite a nice design. if it was sarnsung it would just be hanging out the usb port and you'd have to choose between powering it or using ethernet until someone on ebay started selling a third party cable to do both.

It's not too bad, the delivery box is like three times the size of the device and software wise Google appears to be copying Microsoft:



Ooh look an update to the Chromecast app, ...

Although she uses Google frequently, Vestager says it doesn’t cloud her view of the case. “Congratulations for being big, but don’t misuse it. For Europeans, this is very fundamental,” she says.

That might be the scariest thing of all for Google. It isn’t dealing with an antitech ideologue or a competition czar consumed with cementing a personal legacy. It faces a straightforward prosecutor in a hostile political climate dominated by powerful local business interests with their own regulatory agendas. Good luck to Google searching for a way out of that.

the scary part is the cashier knowing her name

because that's actually how it works, google detects that you're in the store and passes the info to the store

in the beta of this, i think you went to the counter and told them your first and last initials. someone dumb in this very forum said that seemed secure because hey it's 26 to the power of two, what are the chances a starbucks will have two people with the same initials!? not only is it VERY LIKELY, but some names are more popular than others, so JS and AJ will be pretty popular ( jon, jessica, james, jennifer, jordan, james + smith)

but this commercial thing doesn't even show that, which, if it's actually how it still works, is pretty unfair since they spend so long showing ridiculous cash and card mishaps then skips steps in the solution.
