So, lets say you want to give Firefox OS — the mobile OS made by the same people who make the browser — a try.

Today, Apple Music comes to Android phones. It’s the first user-centric app that Apple has created for Android (but not its first). As people download and dissect it, they’ll doubtless be looking at how Apple builds on Android, what features are ported over from iOS and what Apple’s pan-operating-system Music philosophy looks like in the mobile age. In advance of the launch,… Read More... →

(Kidding!) Four-and-a half years later, Miner joined Google Ventures and he continues to work from Cambridge, Ma., making investments on behalf of his new parent company… Read More... →

We are busy and lazy, so we forget to send friends the photos we take of them. But Facebook Messenger’s newest feature Photo Magic scans your newly taken photos with facial recognition, and immediately notifies you with an option to send pics to friends that are in them.
