A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm all for de Googling if that's what tickles your fancy, but ask anyone on the street and they'll have no idea what you're talking about
Edit: This also allows Google to push some of these features to older devices which may not ever see another system update
In that blog post, google does not commit to open sourcing these play services features, to integrate in future system upgrade.
I would love to be proven wrong.
Yep, no one claimed otherwise.
