It’s good to see Walt Mossberg try DuckDuckGo and come out impressed. Of all the services from Google, search is the most frictionless for anyone to replace. Other being Chrome.
That doesn’t bode well for Google’s business. And am sure Google’s aware of that.
Tech community looks pretty divided on the benefits of Project Fi, now Google Fi. Few say it’s the best thing to happen to the US telecommunications market, others are unimpressed suggesting Fi in current form won’t change much of the market. Curious.
