So if I post a direct message to someone on G+ it should also show up in my hangouts feed?

No - the Google+ messaging service (which sits on the right) now has equal functionality to GTalk/Messenger - this wasn't the case before. They also added functionality ontop of this.

Before in Google+ there was Google Talk, essentially with some added functionality (video chat+). A little while ago they added this video chat functionality to the Gmail chat, so those two services were essentially on par. But Messenger on Google+ mobile had more functionality, and was completely separate from these two chats still. So they basically took the best from all the chars, threw it into one service, added a few features and called it "hangouts".

It's not as dramatic as I'd liked - SMS would make it for me. But that's coming.

 

[creationtheory]

I guess I was confused because I've never even opened G+ messenger. What a clusterfuck.

 

[Toki767]

Google Talk had voice chat. I don't know why they think everyone wants to only video chat.

At an overflow room for "Developing for Glass," should have gotten here earlier (though I'm 30 mins early!)

Oh right. What a failure. How are you liking your Pixel?

Dumbass me wanted to wait until the second day to beat the lines and not haul a second laptop around with me but now I find out they're out of the LTE model and it'll take four weeks for it to show up at my house. :/

I've always preferred the network enabled Chromebooks even though I've only somewhat rarely used the 3G in my Samsung Chromebook. But it has come in handy when I've needed it. Aside from that LTE is much better for things like the Pixel than 3G, and the LTE Pixel has double the storage (64 GB.)

 

[razgriz417]

Anyone know when the new google maps (least for PC) is suppose to come out?

Sounds like a failure on Google's part. I mean, you need to have a ticket to enter. They should know how many Pixels are needed.

 

[Zaph]

Anyone got any idea where I could find medium/high resolution versions of the new Google Play media icons (these)?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I can get a Wifi model now if I want but they probably all should have been the LTE one. Everyone could benefit from the extra storage even if they don't live in an LTE area.

GDK (Glass Development Kit) announced: add-on for the Android SDK, allows more access to hardware features than the Mirror API, ETA unknown.

 

[DietRob]

There are plenty of the Pixel's from I/O up on Ebay now. But still not at a price I'd be willing to pay for one. I'd highly consider it at around 700 bucks. I have a Samsung Chromebook already and love it but that OS isn't worth the premium price at this point.

Can't believe no Nexus 7 HD. :\

Can't believe no Nexus 7 HD. :\

I can only assume they're waiting for the holidays.

the lack of hardware at this year's I/O is really disappointing.

 

[Toge]

Any sign of android 4.3?

 

[celebi23]

So when is the new Search coming to Chrome?

I don't know. I'm pretty sure they didn't mention a date during the keynote (could be wrong though). I want it now

This guy in the Web Components talk needs to turn off his goddamn phone.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

This Web Components talk is blowing my fricking mind. I can't wait to see the UI libraries that spring from this.

 

[jayb]

just give me a Nexus 7.9 and I'll be happy.

At the Google Mirror API session. Got lunch at this place across the street because the line for the complementary lunch was like a 2000-person human centipede. Got a fantastic burger that I swear tasted like a steak. Got it wicked fast too although a line was starting to form when I left... Anyways I'm in a much better seat than the original Glass session. Fricking non-dev yuppies clogging up the good sessions.

Google just e-mailed me with access to the new Google Maps! Sweet!

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Google Maps is soooooo good.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That's what I've always wanted Chromebooks to look like (except not a sticker, obviously.)

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Easy port forwarding to Android, holy shit. This is the best talk of I/O, no question. Paul is such a fantastic presenter too.

 

[Fatalah]

Google Maps is soooooo good.

Can't figure out where my Starred locations are...

 

[Dead Prince]

they can always get asus to make the next chromebook. (unsure after switching after nexus 7)

 

[Kinitari]

Google Maps is soooooo good.

Except tilting only works in earth mode, and even then - no keyboard/mouse shortcuts for tilting! Also, my city (Toronto) is flat as fuck in earth mode.

Aw well, other than that - baller.

[xptoxyz]

Also got in on the new maps. How do you share a location? Is it disabled for the preview?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Call me paranoid but Google Now is the ceiling at which I'm willing to give up privacy. I understand that it's convenient, but I'm not willing to reroute all my missives to supplant search for myself.

I'm actually really looking forward to Scoble's book The Age of Context because he believes directly the opposite, saying that privacy as a thought is nonexistent.

Lol I missed this gem. Talon, champion of Scoble.

Does that mean we'll see OEM versions of Glass? I'd be down with some variety, maybe something a little bit less 'out of the way'?

I think that might be the I implication for the future, but right now u think she meant they were working with say sunglass manufacturers.

Why would you want that? Looking like an asshat is part of the experience.

The Android Fireside Chat is as who's who of Google. Dan Morrill, Dianne Hackborn, Ficus Kirkpatrick, Romain Guy, Retro Meier, and, of course, Duarte.

LMFAO someone just asked them if they were making an iOS emulator for Android, wow.
