Observation about the author's Ms. McCabe deciding to carry a Pixel: I was out this weekend with my wife and her friends and they all had iPhones. They all kept asking me to use my Pixel, because "it takes better pictures." Not sure how much more damning it can be than a bunch of 40-50 year old moms noticing the camera for it's suck.
The Pixel is definitely, unabashedly, engaging in similar computational chicanery, but it's better at it's particular brand of misdirection than the iPhone is at it's brand. And this is the first time soccer moms have noticed.
I have a friend who was a PM at Apple and moved to Google. He said never expect to work with Apple on a software project. It didn't make any sense for them to contract for software services, because they didn't have any data.
