Google's Next Android Overhaul Will Embrace iPhone's 'Notch' (bloomberg.com)
Google is working on a "dramatic redesign" of its Android operating system, Bloomberg reported on Monday. The company has stuck with a single look for its mobile operating system (OS) for quite some time now, but it's now reportedly looking at Apple for inspiration. The new version of Android -- which Bloomberg says is called "Pistachio Ice Cream" internally -- will apparently be designed with the space for a cutout at the top, much like the iPhone X and its so-called "notch." From the report: The operating system refresh, Android P, will emphasize Google's Assistant, a digital helper that competes with Apple's Siri and Amazon.com's Alexa. Developers will be able to integrate Google's voice-based technology inside of their apps. The company has also weighed integrating the search bar on the Android home screen with its assistant, although neither of these changes are finalized for introduction this year, according to one of the people familiar with the situation.
Another week starts, another cringe-inducing creepy comment from our resident autistic virgin pederast!!!
I read the replies to my Friday comments this morning. Very cringe worthy indeed.
How's the Comic Con affiliate spam working out for you?
The SVCC 2018 affiliate program doesn't end until 3/25. I should find out shortly thereafter if I qualify for t-shirt (25 points) or a signed Apple 1 schematic by Steve Wozniak (500 points). The latter would enhance my geek cred.
