Completely forgot about the I/O keynote. What have I missed?

Long, really interesting introductory, cheering Africans and people taking selfies with cameraman.

 

[Pacbois]

I totally forgot about that "Together, not the same" thing.

 

[SRG01]

What's that chime that keeps sounding in the background?

edit: Wait, I think it's just me

 

[Avixph]

Since this is a livestream thread, obviously I was talking about the intro thing where they visited different viewing parties

Oh okay, sorry about calling you out like that.

 

[Ke0]

That map of America is hilarious, the east all the way to the middle of the country is dense then suddenly...emptiness then California

 

[Baroquemantic]

Chromecast putting in work.

 

[jwk94]

I wish we could disable apps on Chromecast.

 

[3rdman]

HBO Now confirmed...

 

[Bad_Boy]

I bet it would not differ much from a population density map.

 

[Hasney]

Cheer for Lollipop, as it should bebe.

 

[dc89]

Come on Dave, show me this M.

 

[Toki767]

Solved thousands of bugs. While creating thousands of new ones I bet.

 

[Pacbois]

So M is pretty much going to be 5.2/5 ?

 

[TwoDurans]

M's homescreen looks familiar...

 

[clav]

Squashing bugs?

Lollipop buggy OS confirmed.

 

[Baroquemantic]

M. Here we go!

 

[The Faceless Master]

UX about to turn to shit


FOLD IN OH SHIT ITS TIME

 

[Ke0]

Poor bloke doesn't want to admit he's no longer 20.

 

[Hasney]

Already says developer preview. May have to grab that bad boy.

 

[DoktorEvil]

This is what Google puts out as the response to Apple Keynotes?

I like my Nexus 6 but not THAT much.

 

[Toki767]

6 circles. 6 main features in M?

 

[stef t97]

Fuck yes, modular permission. Good opener for the Android M talk.

 

[The Faceless Master]

AppOps DA GOAT

developers about to pull their hair out

 

[clav]

Vista UAC prompts

 

[Somnid]

If they can make this work, this'll be great. Fuck you app I just want a flashlight.

 

[strikeselect]

So iOS permissions huh? lol. I don't mind them copying this.

 

[jwk94]

Yeah this is tedious.

 

[Majine]

Isn't this like how iOS does it?

 

[thenexus6]

Whatsapp and not Hangouts?

 

[Jayayess1190]

So iOS permissions huh? lol. I don't them copying this.

Google should have copied it years ago.

 

[D4Danger]

this is a really good update. The blanket permissions on install just create confusion and mistrust.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Yes it is the same as what iOS does.

 

[Kuros]

Round of applause for implementing something that should have been there 5 years ago.

 

[SRG01]

Vista UAC prompts

It's a one-time only prompt on first use.

 

[Somnid]

LOL opt-in. Yeah, like businesses are going to bother.

 

[TwoDurans]

I'm worried that M might be all internal stuffs. Lollipop was a complete UI overhaul and it seems they might be sticking with it.

 

[The Faceless Master]

nice, seamless updates even with added permissions

 

[badcrumble]

Good on Google for bringing back AppOps/going to iOS style permission dialogs. It shouldn't be so easy for user information to get harvested from every junk app out there.

 

[clav]

It's a one-time only prompt on first use.

Hopefully, but sometimes you want one permission active for one instance.

Otherwise, you get this scenario:

[dc89]

Seems that his watch has an always on screen.
-.-

 

[Pacbois]

Hah, that's pretty good, I hate in-app browsers.

 

[stef t97]

Chrome custom tabs will be awesome for users of the default twitter app. Fucking hate the current webview thing.

 

[TwoDurans]

Chrome custom tabs will murder lower end phones.

 

[Marion Cobretti]

This is really boring. Someone please post a summary when it's done.

 

[Ke0]

Is this guy a native American? Sounds like he use to have an accent of some sort. Sounds like a fellow Brit.

 

[vwnut13]

What's that chime that keeps sounding in the background?

edit: Wait, I think it's just me

Check the cat litter, it's probably your S6.

 

[Jokab]

Is this guy a native American? Sounds like he use to have an accent of some sort. Sounds like a fellow Brit.

Sounds like some British English creeps through at times yes. Probably lived in the US a long time.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

So this is Android's catch up year like how last year was iOS' catchup year huh.

 

[mattp]

how is "App Links" any different from the current system? i dont get it

 

[Hasney]

Wait, if I have a 3rd part Twitter app it will no longer let me use it for Twitter links because they don't own the links?
