The least used app on my Android phone is… the Google app?!

Andy Walker / Android Authority I spent several hours rummaging through the Google app for a recent opinion piece detailing its excellent Saved feature. However, I don’t use this app often, if ever. This got me thinking: why is the Google app still around, and why does Google insist on keeping it when a search widget from Chrome could essentially replace everything I use it for? While I’m sure many users (including myself, initially) feel that it’s a vestigial piece of software from Android ve

Big Tech Hijacked Steve Bannon’s Movement

Steve Bannon is out and Elon Musk is in. A man who once had an office and a whiteboard in the White House now has a podcast.

Uber ditches commissions in favor of daily fees for rickshaw drivers in India

Uber is moving away from its commission-based model for three-wheeled motorized rickshaw drivers in India in response to increased competition from local rivals Rapido and Namma Yatri.
