Get em hooked early. Google is worse than crack. But so much better too.

Fuck yeah Khan Academy sighting.

"Basically, we got stacks of this thing not selling at all so EVERYONE GETS A FREE PIXEL!"

("Great, now we don't have to move those boxes again!")

I want a pixel. Problem is they aren't sold here.

All Access Music is up and AWESOME.

Its like Spotify but with a way better interface and seemingly much better discovery. I'm really digging it. I'd pay 8 bucks a month for this.

 

[Pctx]

very very cool. Distribution is awesome.

Death to iOS because of this!! Groups and collaboration us going to hit new levels

 

[Drakeon]

Does Verizon ever get the stock Google phones? Really hoping Nexus s4 shows up on Verizon.

 

[tycoonheart]

That education bit was the smoothest presentation so far.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Google Music Megaton: It's live, and you can finally edit metadata, or even delete incorrectly tagged tracks and reupload correct ones.

Couldn't you always do this? Can you do it from the phone now?

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

What I want to know is, is there anything Spotify Premium does that Google Music Paid doesn't?

Offline syncing?

For 7.99 a month I'll switch, if there's really no difference. I'm doing the trail now and it's uploading my entire library...

 

[Shambles]

getting them while they're young. so evil.

My exact thought. It's scary how effective this is going to be.

This featureset is actually exactly what Apple's Enterprise/Education tool does. The IT department can push and manage applications on as many devices.

So now there's real competition between Apple and Google at schools.

Meanwhile in Redmond...

What? You've been able to do exactly what they showed on iOS for at least two years, maybe longer. Two years ago was just when my brother's school started distributing iOS devices.

I think he's talking about editing tracks on the subscription services, not your own music.

STILL ONLY HALF OVER

Drop the bomb Duarte/Sergei!

 

[Tony Rocky Horror]

I'm wondering (hoping) if Google will do something a bit more exciting with magazines, like newsstand.

 

[iavi]

Couldn't you always do this?

Nope. My OG locker is a mess because I didn't realize it started uploading tracks before I had cleaned it all up.

As for the phone; I'm not sure. I haven't gotten my hands on the apk yet.

Link?

https://play.google.com/music/ ?

At least it's updated for me, not in the US so no subscription mode yet, I suppose that's where he's looking at it.

 

[Jayayess1190]

Google Music update looks nice, album art is still atrocious unless I manually change it.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Google Now for Chrome announcement imminent.

 

[Kinitari]

Woah, I got an invite for all access! Baller, Canadian and everything...


BUT

I need to have a US credit card to start the trial! Damn! I guess I could also just get a google promo code, that would do it too.

i still want google stock, but im not rich enough. buying like 5 shares wouldn't make sense right?

I bought 3 shares a few months ago and sold it two months ago and made like 600 dollars

Amazon has also had this since last year. Works cross-device.

I found it, trying it now. Pretty nice so far. I'm a premium Spotify user, but they just broke 0.8.5 TODAY so I'm ready to jump ship.

It would not. Google stock is risky right now.

Just realize that the Capital Gains Tax for that will be 15% for the year, so you'll have to make over 15% in gains for it to be worth it.

It would not. All tech stock is risky because Wall Street is always bearish on tech companies' abilities to stave off competition.

Lol short iPhone, the bastard child.

It's very interesting watching this conference. It's so different from how Apple presents things, yet it's still exciting. The attitude seems to be "We want you all involved and helping us" whereas with Apple it's more like "We'll do all the work, and it'll be good, and you'll like it, but you won't have much input."

It is at a record high and trading at 30x earnings which is fairly high for a non-startup. Buy high, sell higher is typically not the best strategy but up to you.

The number of shares doesnt matter. If you have 5 shares of a 900 stock or 50 shares of a 90 dollar stock or 500 shares of a 9 dollar stock, you make the same amount when the stock goes up 5%.

No. You pay 15% on the profit, not the total investment.

 

[tycoonheart]

Oh damn new Google+ looks sexy.

 

[killertofu]

Is google music going to have n app for iOS?

 

[Ephemeris]

I like the new look

Actually, the WWDC conference is pretty similar to this one, since WWDC is for developers. They usually spend at least half of the time talking about iOS and OS X APIs, how developers could use those features, etc.

It's just that Apple has more product-only conferences sprinkled through the year, although Google has been trying to do more of that. Their Nexus 4 event got drowned out by Hurricane Sandy, so they cancelled it completely.

very cool new look.

...still won't use.
