Failure of Pixel 2 exposed a larger problem: Google's ads don't work
aquadjcity said:I was drawn to this article because I use Google Adwords for my business, and I don't read Android based sites. I have always thought Adwords was overpriced for the results I was getting and this article supports that.
Your instincts are right. Google AdWords are overpriced and ineffective. Some other things Google offers are a much better deal.

Failure of Pixel 2 exposed a larger problem: Google's ads don't work
But, but, but, the purpose of advertising is to convince the public that your crap doesn’t stink... Google failed at that. People held their noses and walked away... Google sucked at advertising the Pixel phone...big time!SendMcjak said:
If something is crap -- high- or low-end, then sales of that crap will be poor ... regardless of advertising. The article weirdly tries to both assert that Google is bad at advertising while also claiming Android hardware is crap.jbdragon said:So what's the excuse for the poor sales of their low-end Nexus Phones? You know before they decided there was no money in doing that, and figured they would be better off copying Apple and releasing the Pixel phones. Nothing has changed.
So, to answer your question, the "excuse for the poor sales of their low-end Nexus phones" is, also, that they are crap. This, also, doesn't mean Google sucks at advertising. -

I micturate in the general direction of what you wrote...rogifan_new said:What is the purpose of writing a Google bashing article other than it makes some people feel good to knock one of Apple’s competitors? Is there some worry about the iPhone X that AI feels it necessary to trash the Pixel?
Considering this is an Apple centric site I’d love to see an editorial about, say, Siri and what Apple can and should do to make it better or maybe a discussion on the rumored software changes and how Apple can improve their software processes and quality going forward. Or maybe a piece about what would be good to see software wise in the future for the HomePod. A Siri intent for music and podcasts? The ability to recognize different voices and offer multi user support? These are just a few examples. There are plenty of editorials and pieces about Apple that could generate good discussion. I wish more rumor sites would run pieces that could generate this kind of discussion. 9to5Mac does on occasion but they seem to be the only one.

Samsung to more than halve OLED production due to slow iPhone X demand, Nikkei says
Samsung is in need of new customers after being "saddled with excess production capacity" of OLED panels... but not due to flagging iPhone sales, but due to their OWN Samsung Galaxy phone sales being in the dumper. Yeah, you read it here first, folks, it’s Samsung’s low sales numbers that is behind their excess production capacity... not Apple’s sales being off...daito_hak said:Specifically, Samsung was last Friday said to be in search of new customers after being "saddled with excess production capacity" of OLED panels.

Sonos One feet leaving same white marks on wood furniture that the HomePod can
It took a while before someone noticed that the Sonos speaker had the same problem... someone had to purchase one...
