Then, why are 200 newspapers suing Google for harming their advertising business? And have Roku and YouTube finally settled their beef? Andy will also walk you through why Microsoft is behind a bug that breaks an Android device's ability to call emergency services before routing you through the slew of Pixel Watch rumors—yes, that Pixel Watch that keeps getting un-rumored, then re-rumored. Maybe a Pixel Watch will get Hawkeye to upgrade his Pixel 3.
