Google canceled its next Pixelbook and shut down the team building it

Google is getting out of the laptop game

Google has canceled the next version of its Pixelbook laptop and dissolved the team responsible for building it. The device was far along in development and expected to debut next year, according to a person familiar with the matter, but the project was cut as part of recent cost-cutting measures inside of Google. Members of the team have been transferred elsewhere inside the company.

i thought one of stadias big problems was that it was real hard to get game companies to develop/license their aaa titles for it, because if stadia took off then google would have a huge stranglehold over game distribution and game companies were not interested in creating something akin to the what the record labels did with the original itunes store agreement. google tried to get around this by going into first-party game development themselves but got distracted and shut it down (or, more likely, saw just how long and how expensive it would be to bootstrap themselves into a proper aaa game studio)

the technology worked well, its just google had no idea how to build a business model for it. which seems pretty on-brand for google

the first galaxy fold (with the famous load-bearing screen protector) came out in april 2019

four and a half years later and the phones are still expensive fragile crease-bearing pieces of poo poo that can be disabled by stray flecks of grit

i assume apple has a whole lab of prototype foldable iphones that will never be released because the underlying technology is just too unreliable

Google says it can�t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one

With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

Google makes a big deal out of its partnership with iFixit and the availability of replacement parts for its products, but one Google product that doesn't seem fixable is the Pixel Watch. After spotting some posts from Pixel Watch users seeking a remedy after cracking the glass and coming up with no clear answers, The Verge got Google to confirm that, even 11 months after launch, there is no repair plan right now. Google can't fix your watch. There are no parts.

A Google spokesperson told The Verge "At this moment, we don�t have any repair option for the Google Pixel Watch. If your watch is damaged, you can contact the Google Pixel Watch Customer Support Team to check your replacement options."

the smart home was a "neat idea, if they can ever work the kinks out of it" thing in the 1970s (when you could buy x.10 devices at radio shack)

fifty years (and, like, a trillion times more processing power thanks to moores law) it remains a "neat idea, if they can ever work the kinks out of it" thing
