Yesterday marked the release of Google’s $449 Pixel 5A with 5G, and the company has just released a two-minute video that celebrates one of the phone’s very best hardware features. No, it’s not the new IP67 dust and water resistance. It’s not the larger screen or the biggest battery in a Pixel yet. It’s all about the headphone jack, or “the circle” as this very Jony Ive-esque spot constantly refers to it. Google is truly getting out there with its YouTube advertising, and… Source link

WASHINGTON — For months, Apple and Google have been fighting a bill in the South Korean legislature that they say could imperil their lucrative app store businesses. The companies have appealed directly to South Korean lawmakers, government officials and the public to try to block the legislation, which is expected to face a crucial vote this week. The companies have also turned to an unlikely ally, one that is also trying to quash their power: The United States government. A group funded… Source link

Google quietly paid game developers hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives to keep their games on the Play Store, a newly unredacted complaint from Epic Games in its antitrust suit against Google alleges. The program was known as “Project Hug,” or later as the “Apps and Games Velocity Program.” In 2018, when Fortnite for Android first launched, Epic Games took the unusual step of exclusively releasing it outside of the Google Play Store. Instead, players had to download an… Source link

Apple’s Mac has long been an afterthought for the video game industry, and few think of Google as a games company — despite running Android, one of the biggest game platforms in the world. But Google had a plan to change those things in October 2020, according to an explicitly confidential 70-page vision document dubbed “Games Futures.” The “need-to-know” document, which was caught up in the discovery process when Epic Games hauled Apple into court, reveals a tentative… Source link

Google Fuchsia and Flutter View more stories Google’s up-and-coming Fuchsia OS has reached another milestone. According to a report from 9to5Google’s Kyle Bradshaw (the Internet’s premiere Fuchsia resource), the new OS is rolling out to all first-gen Google Nest Hubs. The OS launched in May but only to a select few devices in the preview program. The first-gen Google Nest Hub (which launched as the “Google Home Hub” and was later renamed)… Source link

Earlier this month, tech firm Google told its employees they would see their pay lowered if they switch to working from home permanently, if the remote location has lower labor costs than where their former offices are located. Google will not change employees’ pay if they work fully remotely from the same city, but if they commuted from a location an hour away with lower costs, for instance, their pay would be reduced. “Our compensation packages have always been determined by location, and we… Source link

Google has started to push out the silent upgrade to its new Fuchsia operating system on first-gen Nest Hub devices (known as the Google Home Hub on release), meaning the secretive project will be broadly used by consumers after years of opaque development. The OS, which unlike Android isn’t based on Linux and uses a microkernel called Zircon, was previously made available to some devices enrolled in a preview program back in May. Now, Google has confirmed to 9to5Google that a new… Source link
