So Googly Ariel Zambelich/WIRED
Lots of big announcements from Google this week. During the keynote speech of its I/O developer conference, the company laid out its broad, forward-looking plan for the future of the Android platform. It involves a shift away from working almost exclusively within handset and tablet territory and expanding further into cars, wearables, televisions, and devices for the connected home. Mat Honan was at I/O to see the demos, smell the smartwatches, and taste the sweet nectars of optimism. He tells us all about the experience. Also, Mike and Mat riff on what they see as possibly Google’s biggest problem right now: the general public’s perception of it as a creepy, out-of-touch behemoth that’s intent on spying on all of us by implanting creepy little computers all over our bodies and in our homes. But really, that’s not the case. You can trust them. Really.
