Oh, I still use it. I just wish they would add all these new features to it.

I guess I should have said I miss picasa being updated.

Well considering phone 4k recordings are limited to what, 5 minutes? - I'm sure the videos of you filling your Keurig are a hit in 4k.

who the gently caress records at 4K on their phone

They said Google Photo is supposed to read "memory cards" - so I think they'll release some kind of desktop upload app. It's just weird to me, that they didn't go for 4K. It's rather ungoogle.

If they're smart about it they'll have granular data - so at a minimum, the visual maps, then location data on top of that, and info about specific locations on top of that...

So you might be able to get a searchable map but no yelp reviews, or whatever

When do they normally announce the new hardware crap? I figured they would have at least teased the next version of Wear OS/Hardware at the beginning instead of rehashing the already released OS update.

Wait, I can get how it can find a consistent looking adult, but my son is four, and he looks nothing like he did when he was a new born. How is that possible?

I assume it's doing step comparisons. Your 4 year old doesn't look like he was as a newborn, but he looks kind of like how he was at 3, which looks kind of how he was a 30 months, which looks kind of how he was a 24 months, ect ect. If they are able to extrapolate age progression based on a history of photos it doesn't seem surprising that they can take it to it's logical starting point.

I bet it'll trip it up if there's a big gap in which you don't upload any photos. It may not be able to tell what a newborn looks like a 4 if you have no other pictures uploaded that happened in-between.

In recent years hardware has become somewhat decoupled from the I/O conference, so it's possible there may not be a hardware announcement.

Hmm, cloud messaging working as the new RSS? That could be neat if it gets widely adopted. I like when Youtube tells me about subscribed channel updates

Do you know if the Android app is going live today or is it just the website? (or vice versa)

Also, will it just be an update to the current G+/Photos app, or a separate app?

Yeah, in 2014 they announced that they wanted to make I/O focus on developers not hardware.
