This new feature will definitely help the bigger players including brands and celebrities who usually follow a schedule when it comes to Live broadcasts....

But that’s not my answer to that perpetual question. The reason why I prefer the Google Pixel over the cheaper, technically more capable Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and why I wouldn’t mind spending that large amount on it every two years is vastly different than what most buyers even look for in their next phone....

It was frenetic and feisty, with some fairly senior executives from both sides weighing in for good measure....
