Yesterday I covered Mishaal’s decoding of Google’s Linux Terminal for Android. Basically it’s ChromeOS All Over Again (and That’s Great!)

Also, is Qualcomm going to share some love for Chromebooks?

Pixel Superfans got a special access to the grand opening of the new Google Store in Santa Monica. Chief Design Officer for Consumer Devices at Google, Ivy Ross was in attendance as well as a few from the Pixel team. Check it out in my latest longform post.
