I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but it almost makes you wonder if some of the leaks were orchestrated by Google because of how absolutely silent it has been this week after the leaks were seemingly coming hard and fast the week prior.

how many not based on CM?
Yup. If feels so calculated. I mean, we were getting bombarded all most daily and all of a sudden - nothing!
Cold turkey man!

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
I'm in the same boat dude.... I'm still sore from the lack of lube Motorola used when they screwed me over with the Atrix.
Still using this thing. Doesn't charge past like 75%, wifi broken, youtube/embedded video doesn't work... What a POS. Moto will never get another chance from me.
Seems like the standard CM/AOKP/PA stuff.
Either that or there is just nothing more to leak. We know exactly what the phone looks like, what the specs are, what the price will be, and most of the changes coming in KitKat. What else is there?
To steal a joke from last night's Daily Show, HTC is like Gil from the Simpsons.
Microsoft/Amazon/Facebook/ANYONE need a cell phone? Gil's your guy!
HTC's already all over it.
Man, today really is a slow Android news day. Damnit Google!
Wow, that's more like it. Hope the price keeps dropping, I'll buy a new phone soon enough!

Well if the android stuff from ars wasn't sensationalist then there is no way HTC could release an amazon phone

Why would YouTube launch its own music service when Google already has theirs? Why not re-brand all access to YouTube music?
Because preteens and teens listen to music at home via YouTube. At least that's what I've read before when those types of statistics prop up.
So that seems to be the reasoning.
I'm sure Google has data on how much music people hear on YouTube.
Also, all access is not like the most popular service. YouTube on the other hand...

yep, teens basically use Youtube if they want to listen to something specific or Pandora if they want to just 'listen'

Today's the day. If there's a press event on the 31st invites will go out. If they don't, then either:
1. It is delayed into November.
2. There will be no event, just info dump on The Verge.

So woke up this morning to find three apps had auto updated; chrome, chrome beta and I would swear I saw Google (as in search) but it is not appearing on the recently updated list. Very odd...
betting on an info dump within 48 hours. i need the nexus 5 to be exciting ugh, the other announcements this week have been so underwhelming.
the only thing i've actually excited by is the phasing out of the classic macbook pro, so i can affordably upgrade to a broadwell retina model next year. ipads, nokia and the rest have been boring as fuck.

Right then, today or bust I guess. See you all at 5-7pm GMT for constant F5ing various news sites
Given we know everything about the N5, it'll be nice to see what Asus have done with the N10. Tegra or Snapdragon....
Chrome, Chrome Beta and YouTube most probably (I had the same)

Probably because all leaks so far have been on purpose. /conspiracy
What if the nexus 5 doesn't exist and KitKat can be installed on the iPhone 5S?
Let the Nexus 10 rumours begin

Fake as hell, it looks like an iPad with a Nexus 7 camera, has the Nexus 5 wallpaper but the old launcher.
Yep but this day has been boring enough as it is, we need some excitement.

The last week or so has been boring as hell lol, funny how the leaks and that suddenly stopped. Think Google sent hit squads out?
Either that, or as I've been saying all along, it was all on purpose and now they're trying to make us forget so they can surprise us even more.

I'm 80% sure the leaks were intentional and we have so far only seen early builds. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

Sense 5.5 rolling out to parts of the world today for the HTC One. Making the best 3rd party skin even better.
You need an account and a credit card. So I imagine they don't allow duplicates.

Does your Sony source still say tomorrow?
i just realised they have the googy play event today at 7pm NYCT
that makes me thing there will be a blowout earlier today, and then the event won't have any news it will just be to show stuff to the press in person. 7pm is way too late and all the NYC hipster tech journalists will be too busy drinking french whisky and playing the trumpet inside an old water tower by then.

But why make it two services? I know YouTube is a way bigger brand that's why they'd get rid of the all access name.

Nope. Just met for lunch. Said not Friday, didn't mention any other day, just "not Friday".
Hence the FFS Googy.

So your contact either had old information or something happened that changed things?
Google is all into consolidating their services lately, and they have been very diligent about it. To the point that they have pissed off some of their customers. That being said, I can bet you the reason why is separate is that the RIAA wanted it that way.
Because at the end of the day they are different. One is access to a huge source of music you can listen to. The other will have music and their videos, so it will both likely cost more and have less music in total.
A youtube video version is probably nice for newer more popular music that has videos, but for more obscure and lower profile music or whole albums youtube is not the way to go at all. Not only that but negotiating rights for music streaming is likely very different from the rights for the videos.
