There are many things to love about Chromebooks: the price, the simplicity, the security and ease of maintenance. Just read our reviews of the HP 11 Chromebook and the Chromebook Pixel to have a better idea of what’s nice about them. However, it is also fair to say that a lot of people still need to run legacy desktop apps and that a pure Cloud Computing experience is not best for everyone.
And that’s precisely what VMWare wants to address by partnering with Google to bring desktop apps from Windows and other systems to Chromebooks, by running those apps in a centralized server environment and delivered right into the Chrome browser.

At last, Google Now will enable you to refer to people by relationship whenever you want to make a voice call or a text, which is a good thing actually. For those who have tried to make use of Google Now voice commands in the past, you would run into limitations of voice commands if you want to call someone with a more unique name. Basically, not everyone has a name that is easy for the voice command system to understand, but you can be sure that voice recognition is moving in the right direction. Well, Google has introduced the ability for Google Now understand your referral to other contacts by relationship, thanks to the relationship descriptor.

Fragmentation is a big issue on Android. A vast majority of Android powered devices around the globe are running firmware versions that have long been outdated. Android 4.4 KitKat, which was released late last year and happens to be the latest iteration, only powers a minute fraction of all devices globally. In order to curb the issue of fragmentation, Google is rumored to be leaning on OEMs to use latest version of Android in their devices, if they want them to receive access to the Google Play Store and Google Apps.
