Meet the product chief Google picked to fight Apple and Amazon for control of your home
http://www.recode.net/2016/6/29/12055270/google-home-chromecast-mario-queiroz Queiroz was the co-creator and driving force behind the media streaming dongle, which has, in just three years, become the company's best-selling device and a cornerstone of its hardware strategy. Now he's also in charge of a device even more critical to Google's future. At Google's developer conference in May, the 50-year-old, dressed in a tight black T-shirt and jeans, unveiled his latest hardware creation: Google Home, a speaker that streams music and summons a conversational, robotic assistant with a voice command ("Okay, Google"). It sits within his portfolio of "Living Room" products that Google is relying on to insert itself into our everyday interactions with technology in the home, fending off strong advances from archrivals. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
