I Gave Up My Mac For A Google Chromebook Pixel And Loved It ... Until It Became A Brick At Starbucks JULIE BORT - Business Insider For the past two weeks, I've been working 100% in the cloud, giving up my MacBook Pro to use a Google Pixel Chromebook. I loved it. Until it had an epic fail. For the first 13 days, I was so happy that I was ready to recommend it instead of a Mac (with some caveats). But last weekend, I took it Starbucks and experienced such a disaster that I changed my mind. Before I get into the Starbucks fail, I want to talk about the 13 days where things went well. With the Chromebook operating system, all work is done via cloud apps over the Web.

Google pide a los ópticos que programen en Android

Google Asks Glass Developers To Start Working On Android-Based Apps Ahead Of Glass Development Kit Launch TechCrunch It looks like Google is about to unleash a new wave of more powerful applications for Google Glass. Currently, Glass developers can only build apps that are essentially web-based services that talk to the user’s hardware through a set of relatively limited APIs.

Stratays compra a su competidor

Stratasys just acquired MakerBot, the one 3D printing firm that could have disrupted it By Christopher Mims @mims Turns out that giving people the ability to 3D print random tchotchkes is worth about $600 million.
