Apple has always been known for its over-zealous legal team plunging on any individual or company it sees as infringing on its copyright and trademarks (who turn blind eye when Apple itself crosses the line with trademarked names like iPhone and iPad)....
While the app titled “TRAI DND – Do Not Disturb”, which helps curb unwanted calls and text messages was available for Android devices on the Google Play Store from way back in 2016, Apple did not permit TRAI to push its app to the App Store due to some privacy concerns as the app required the users’ call and message logs to be shared with government authorities. According to reports, an average individual in the country receives up to 10 unwanted calls and messages in a day which is undoubtedly a nuisance....

Still confused about what is Force Touch? Well, let’s fix that. Apple was already ahead of the competition when it came to touchpads.

Google introduced the experimental ART runtime compiler alongside Android 4.4 KitKat and it seems that according to some changes in AOSP’s source code, it will replace Dalvik by default in the next Android version. Dalvik uses a Just-In-Time (JIT) code compiling which processes code only when the application needs it. ART is more efficient and comes with an Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compiling, which runs the code before it is needed. In other words, ART substantially reduces the time needed for applications to launch....

This might not turn the car completely into a self-driven vehicle but it would enable auto-pilot features, a feature that Tesla swears by. The transit between Mountain View and SF is nearly 40 miles and the Comma One might eventually help the Silicon Valley guys sit back and relax while the car drives itself (the makers of the Comma One warn that driver should still be alert). Comma has been very modest about the kit and has been equalizing it with the Tesla Autopilot without the need to buy a new car....
That quote (attributed to Mark Twain) was running through my mind as I sat through the launch of the Pixel 2 a few days ago. For, when the dust had finally settled, it almost seemed as if Google had gone from being this mystical master of magical software and ubiquitous search to just another smartphone manufacturer.
