I always ask myself, do they coun't the OCD people that install roms all the time, each time? That would account for half of that.

You've got money, wear a proper watch.

He wasn't alone.
Pepple watches
Crazy considering how many people, especially work machines and non-tech savvy peoples machines just use IE by default. Android chrome must really be making a lot of progress moving the non-savvy people from using IE by default to chrome by default.
Wow. almost a billion activations. Is that 900 million this past year alone? Or 900 million active android devices total?

Saying revenue is up to date 2.5 times per user and Google has payed out more this year so far than all of 2012 combined to developers. Certainly it seems to be getting much better.

I like the geofencing thing. I wouldn't mind a simple way to define phone actions depending on location. I know apps are out there for it, but if it can come as an OS level feature, then...
Edit: Of course, any optimization to battery usage is great too with the location fixing. My Nexus 4 will thank you.

hahaha nice
Uses carrier data that is already being used (when your phone reconnects with the tower every now and then to sync time, carrier, etc.) in order to supplement location data. So as opposed to turning GPS on (which drains more data), it's already using an existing GPS "range" to determine your location. That way, the GPS isn't constantly on.
So, for example, there's a podcast app on iOS that updates based on location using Geofencing instead of GPS data.
I'm surprised this wasn't already in Android.

Fortunately Fucking.
Have this 'app' do 'this' when I leave ((Work)). Work is a location designated on the map by area.
(God that was a horrible explanation, someone do better please)
Seriously.
Ah ok thanks.
No you misread. The Fusion Location is a build up of already provided location data (including tower data), but better. Geofencing is better location-based events.
This isn't E3, it's meant to be mostly developers in the audience, not press.
