Remember the vintage game "Pull the Rug Out?" It is a board game where players stack different items on top of a rug. Eventually, one of the players tries to pull out the rug without tumbling the pieces stacked on top of it. Google's recent announcement that it is phasing out several additional services, including the highly popular Google Reader, reminded me of this game, as I recall that the stack most always toppled to the ground. Google introduced Google Reader, gradually built up its popularity, and then pulled the rug out with little warning, causing its customers to stumble. As one Google customer put it: "Google spends millions of wasted dollars on pet projects, then kills one of their best products on a whim." Google's most recent spring cleaning brings the total number of services it has discontinued to 70 in just a year-and-a-half. That's right-a whopping 70 services that have been shut down in just 18 months. Among the services Google will discontinue with little warning is Google Cloud Connect, introduced with a lot of fanfare just two years ago. Cloud Connect is a plug-in that enables Google users to share and edit Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel files. To continue collaborating with Microsoft Office, Google users have just four weeks to uninstall Cloud Connect and install Google Drive. Companies that can't get to it by April 30 will be out of luck, leaving them without a way to collaborate on Office documents used by millions of employees, partners, and customers. But of all the services Google is discontinuing this time, the one that's drawing the biggest backlash is Google Reader, a service used by hundreds of thousands of users to keep track of their favorite websites and blogs via RSS feeds. The news of Google Reader's shut down drew outrage from users, who put together a petition demanding that Google reinstate the service.

Just today we read about Samsung's roadmap list being leaked and now ASUS has come out with their own list. It looks like everyone wants to get on the Marshmallow train. It's a good thing though, because people cannot wait to get their hands on the latest and greatest Android build yet.

"The first reference to a new Sony device named Hayabusa showed up on a leaked roadmap of the firm's 2012 releases in January, where it was given a tentative July street date and a near-as-makes-no-difference €500 price tag. From that, it was clear the phone was going to be near the top of Sony's range."

"First spotted in the obligatory blurry photo and then again in a leaked 2012 roadmap, the Sony MT27i Pepper has now re-appeared following its no-show at Mobile World Congress."

"Those Canadians have been having a bit of a tough time of late. First it was getting blamed for helping the riots kick off last summer, then it was the infamous BBM outage that hacked off users no end, followed by further customer irritation engendered by the non-appearance of their new BB10-powered blowers"
