#Google Project Ara modular smartphone delayed to 2016 Google had announced earlier this year, that it will unveil the modular smartphone in Puerto rico as part of a pilot program that will allow people to choose their own hardware based on their needs and interests.
Looks like, amidst the all new structuring happening at Google, the modular device will have to wait until next year.
Now, the company has tweeted about the delay in the Project Ara with testing pushed to 2016.
The company disclosed that there are no plans to test the modular phone project in Puerto rico later this year.
on day 2 of the Google I/O developers conference, at the ATAP keynote, Google engineer Rafa Camargo assembled a Project Ara phone as part of a live demo,

#EU Formally Accuses Google Of Market Abuse, Opens Probe Into Android The European union competition chief formally laid down the gauntlet to Google on Wednesday,
accusing it of market dominance in web searches, particularly around online shopping. It also opened a formal investigation into

said Margarethe Vestager, the EU competition commissioner at a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday. he Statement of Objection is not the end.
Wel take in the response of Google and decide how to proceed. Wee not here to take the side of rivals.
Google wrangle with the EU over search results has been going on for five years, but the formal Statement of Objections is a landmark step.
who was criticized by some for not taking a stronger stance with Google. Almunia was replaced by Vestager late last year.
The next step is for Google to formally answer the EU Statement of Objection, which at its core accuses Google of favoring its own shopping services over those of third parties like Tripadvisor, Microsoft and Streetmap,
who filed their complaints with the EU back in 2010. If Google and the Commission cannot reach a settlement
and the case reaches the European High court, it could not only drag on for several more years
but see Google fined 10%of its annual revenues. At 2014 levels that would be $6. 6 billion.
Some might argue that Google as a private company should have the freedom to organize search results how it wants

#EU v. Google: What Each Side Is Saying The European union on Wednesday formally accused Google of abusing its dominant power in web search in violation of antitrust laws.
The action is potentially the most significant antitrust case in the tech industry since regulators on both sides of the Atlantic tangled with Microsoft beginning in the late 1990s
It could force Google to pay billions in fines or to alter the way it presents search results.
Specifically, the European commission said that Google's GOOGL+0. 35%promotion of its own comparison shopping search function may rtificially divert traffic from rival comparison shopping services

like reviews and travel that Google rivals like Yelp YELP+3. 14 %and Tripadvisor TRIP+0. 57%had complained about.
whether Google has violated European antitrust laws with its Android operating system and related mobile services. The commission said it is concerned that Google may have hindered market access to rival mobile apps by pushing Android phone makers to pre-install its suite of mobile services
which include search, maps, Google Drive and the Play store. It also said it is concerned Google may have hindered market access to makers of modified versions of Android.
The commission full concerns on Android are detailed here. Google put out a vigorous defense. In a blog post, Google search chief Amit Singhal said that people have more search choices today than ever before,
and that competition among shopping search engines is thriving. ndeed if you look at shoppingn area where we have seen a lot of complaints

#Long term Investors Should Prefer Facebook to Google Last week saw another slew of quarterly earnings releases.
which support owning Google or Facebook. Google prices keep dropping, even as growth slows in oremarket Google once again reported higher sales and profits.
And that is a good thing. But, once again, the price of Google primary product declined. Revenues increased because volume gains exceeded the price decline
which indicates that the market for internet ads keeps growing. But this makes 15 straight quarters of price declines for Google.
Due to this long series of small declines, the average price of Google ads (cost per click) has declined 70%*since Q3 2011!
While this is a miraculous example of what economists call demand elasticity, one has to wonder how long growth will continue to outpace price degradation.
At some point the marginal growth in demand may not equal the marginal decline in pricing. Should that happen, revenues will start going down rather than up.
which allows Google to place more ads in more specific locations for advertisers via such automated products as Admob, Adexchange and Doubleclick Bid Manager.
But such computerized ad buying relies on ever more content going onto the web as well as ever more consumption by internet users.
Further, Google revenues are almost entirely search-based advertising, a category Google dominates. But this is largely a PC-related sale.
Today 67.5%of Google ad revenue is from PC searches, while only 32.5%is from mobile searches.
Due to this revenue skew, and the fact that people do more mobile interaction via apps, messaging apps and social media than browser,
search ad growth has fallen considerably. What was a 24%year over year growth rate in Q1 2012 has dropped to more like 15%for the last 8 quarters.
So while the market today is growing and Google is making more money, it is possible to see that growth is slowing.
And Google efforts to create mobile ad sales outside of search have failed largely, as witnessed by the recent death of Google+as competition for Twitter or Facebook.
It is the market shift to mobile which creates the greatest threat to Google ability to grow;
certainly at historical rates. Simultaneously, Facebook announcements showed just how strongly it is continuing to dominate both social media and mobile,
and thus generate higher revenues and profits with outstanding growth. The#1 site for social media and messenger apps is Facebook, by quite a large margin.
But, Facebook 2014 acquisition of Whatapp is now#2. Whatsapp has doubled its monthly active users (MAUS) just since the acquisition,
and now reaches 800million. Growth is clearly accelerating, as this is from a standing start in 2011.
Facebook Messenger is#3, just behind Whatsapp. And#5 is Instagram another Facebook acquisition. Altogether 4 of the top 5 sites,
and the ones with greatest growth on mobile, are Facebook. And they total over 3billion MAUS,
growing at over 300million new MAUS/month. Thus Facebook has emerged already as the dominant force, with the most users, in the fast-growing, accelerating, mobile and app sectors.
Just as Google did in internet search a decade ago, beating out companies like Yahoo, Ask jeeves, etc.
Facebook is monetizing its market leadership position Google is moving rapidly to monetize this user base.
From nothing in early 2012, Facebook mobile revenue is now $2. 5b/quarter and represents 67%of global revenue (the inverse of Google revenues.)
Further, Facebook is now taking its own programmatic ad buying tool, Atlas, to advertisers in direct competition with Google.
Only Atlas places ads on both social media and internet browser pages a one-two marketing punch Google has cracked not yet.
Google $17. 3b Q1 2015 revenue is 30 times the revenue of Facebook. There is no doubt Google is growing,
and generating enormous profits. But, for long-term investors, growth is slowing and there is reason to be concerned about the long term growth prospects of Google as the market shifts toward both social and mobile.
Google has failed to build any substantial revenues outside of search and has had some notable failures recently outside its core markets (Google+and Google glass.
Just how long Google will continue growing, and just how fast the market will shift is unclear.
Technology markets have shown the ability to shift a lot faster than many people expected, leaving some painful losers in their wake (Dell, HP, Sun microsystems, Yahoo, etc.
Meanwhile, Facebook is positioned squarely as the leader, without much competition, in the next wave of market growth.
Facebook is monetizing all things social and mobile at a rapid clip, and wisely using acquisitions to increase its strength.
As these markets continue on their well established trends it is hard to be anything other than significantly optimistic for Facebook long-term.*
