Yeah, I agree. If the phone doesn't recognize the song you want, you'll use Shazam anyway. So in the end, you can't trust the system 100% so the benefits of having this feature are pretty limited.

Depends on the dream. Sometimes, I'll wake up and "remember" the dream as a first person experience. Other times it's not so clear.

The chatbot/AI race reminds me of AOL, CompuServe and France's Minitel back in the days. They wanted to be THE network, but we all know what happened. So Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, etc, are all trying to win the AI game, but

Shareholders demand growth and Apple entering China is a way for them to grow. If Cook says "fuck it, we pack our shit and leave China", the board will quickly replace him because there's simply too much money to be made in C

I think Google Pay makes more sense than Android Pay for two reasons: The first is that non-technical people don't seem to know what is Android. They know their phone is a Samsung Galaxy, LG G series or a Motorola, but most of them d

Perhaps because Google is currently working on a potential Android successor in the name of Fuchsia. Knowing this, Google Pay makes more sense.

Bingo. Some time ago, I watched a video of Mark Zuckerberg at some VR conference and he said something like "VR is not about replacing reality. It's about making it better" . I mean, imagine the quality and realism of the AR

We haven't seen nothing yet. Smartphone addiction is a thing, but at least you can put your phone in your pocket on silent and go on with your day. But AR lenses are coming and will be the next big thing in my opinion. Imagine being im

Apple has probably the best recycling program in the industry. I bet there are far more Motorolas, Asus, and LG devices in landfils than iPhones.

The point is; if this mission to create a Google-less alternative is so important and necessary, why not join force with the people who are already working on said alternative? Surely, having all these developers working on one project woul

Same reason you now have 200+ Linux distributions: people have opinions and disagreements plus free software means everybody can fork a project and do their own thing. Meanwhile, Windows is still king of the desktop and Android is king of m

Groove Music is literally dead. Play Music is buried on the Play Store somewhere as if Google doesn't want people to access it. Seriously, I had to do a Google search to find it. Its UI is not as good as Spotify (in my opinion) and the

From what I understand, with Dart/Flutter you can write apps for Fuchsia, iOS and Android with the same codebase. I think this could be interesting for devs. If making Fuchsia apps is easier and more pleasant than making Android apps,

There's no doubt there's a kind of aura of ridicule around the subject of UFOs and I'm sure credible people don't want to be associated with it. That being said, I think it's something worthy of exploration. My inte

If this is problematic today, imagine how things will be in 20 years. It will be nightmarish. You're on Facebook, you have a baby, you post photos of your child on Fb and he/she becomes an entity in Fb's database. Your child
