Mat Honan perfectly captures the good and bad of Google after spending four-hours live-blogging its I/O keynote.
Google Keep seems promising as it’s basically an Evernote clone, but in light of the recent addition of Reader to the Google Graveyard, the launch of Keep has everyone asking, “how long until Google shuts this down?” Fallows sums it up thusly: So: I trust Google for search, the core of how it stays in [...]
Om Malik has a fantastic conversation with the creator of Google Reader, Chris Wetherell, wherein he admits the product he created lived on borrowed time. More interesting to me, however, is the part about how much it cost Google to keep Reader up and running. In my initial post about Google shutting down Reader, I [...]
Farhad Manjoo goes to Kansas City to find out: During my time in Kansas, when I finally got some free time with a machine connected to Google Fiber, I couldn’t find any better answers for what I should do with it. My first instinct was to try out all the things that strain today’s Internet [...]
This is only going to matter to the people who rely on an RSS service to cull through millions of websites. However, Google announced today that it’ll be closing Google Reader’s doors on July 1st of this year. It’s total bullocks. I can’t imagine Google is putting that much money into Reader.

This moody, noirish shot of the Matterhorn was one of the winners of the 2012 National Geographic Photo Contest. [...]
For those that follow both politics and technology, it seems somehow fitting that Microsoft has hired pollster Mark Penn to lead its advertising and marketing charge against Google, as if that’s going to solve the problem for why nobody wants to use any Microsoft products. Penn came up with the “scroogled” campaign and Bing It [...]
Google Fiber is being rolled out all over Kansas City right now and it’s finally gone live for some customers. The first question is how fast is it? Apparently, the $80 per month plan is crazy fast. People with Google Fiber can expect 700 Mbps down on ethernet and about 200 Mbps down on Wi-Fi, [...]
According to AdAge: “The new investments will be roughly equivalent to the first; most channels received funding in the $1 million to $5 million range in exchange for producing a year of content that YouTube could sell exclusively.” Honestly, I love what Google and YouTube are trying, but none of these channels really have any [...]
