Show Notes
Warning: This episode has seriously too many mentions of Celine Dion's hit song (a hit for too long, if you asked some of us), "My Heart Will Go On." At least Andy and Flo can both agree that Celine is unrivaled in talent. The two also agree that Google Fit still has some kinks to work out before it's the end-all, be-all health-and-wellness app for Android users.
Andy and Flo also discuss the Chrome and Google's respective anniversaries, since that's likely the reason neither Sundar Pichai nor Sergey Brin showed up to a significant hearing before the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Perhaps they partied too hard. We'll also talk a little bit about Samsung because it's always trying to do something.
