Last September, Google inaugurated Android One, a cheap smartphone line for emerging markets, with typical Google audacity: It was billed as the fix “for the next five billion†soon to come online. The initiative, which promised low-cost devices with the latest version of the Android operating system and Google’s full software imprint, was a point of pride...Read More
Where do unicorns hunt executives? Increasingly, they go to Mountain View.

It doesn’t really show up at CES or MWC. Instead, there’s Google I/O. I/O, like Google, is heavy on explanation and theatrics. The keynotes are always long,...Read More
