    Nope. They ditched advancing the Wii
    concept and teamed up with EA and others to bring "hardcore" games and bragged about them during the Wii U conference. The Wii U was far more like PS4 than Wii ever was.
    But that's just it, they didn't go far enough. It was still a "gimmick" system," without the specs, familiar controls, or third-party support of the Xbox and PS4. That's what the "nerds" want, it seems, and a lot of the general console audience too for that matter.

    I assume there's also little resale value in stolen coffee.

    Is this a new standalone Messages (chat) app, made by Dropbox? Or is this a plug-in to the existing Messages app? Please clarify.
    It's a plugin for Apple's iOS Messages app.

    Google Wifi - great, now Google can see every single website I visit, every single wifi call I make, every single movie I watch......

    Google Chromecast - great now Google can see every single streaming video i watch, music video, song......

    Google Home - great. Now google can listen to me all day long 24 hours a day. Yes there is a mute button, but who knows

    Google VR - this is actually the only device that is 'safe'


    Use your brain people. Google makes 99% of their profits from ads. These devices are simply spy devices to collect as much data on you as possible....in your home. creapy as hell. I don't want GoogleBrain listening to my conversations 24 hours a day. And if I have to remember to mute the device, that's ridiculous. 
    How far do you take this policy? Do you never use Facebook or Twitter? Do you only use DuckDuckGo for searches? Do you always browse the web in an incognito mode? Do you never create a permanent account with an online store?

    Because I can guarantee that if you said "no" to any of those questions, you've had your habits tracked by many parties. It's not the end of the world unless you're just that committed to privacy.

    And no, the Google Home won't be recording everything you say 24/7, unless perhaps the NSA decides to tamper with your device. It's no worse than an Amazon Echo from what we know.
