Will Android & Chrome marry?
This marriage would have some serious implications ...
I am not as convinced as the author that this marriage will occur in 2015. If and when this marriage occurs it would effectively mean that Chromebooks would become Android tablets with keyboards, much like the ASUS Transformer and other similar products.

Google Inbox impressions
New Inbox gets a lot of support ...
Whilst I have used the new Google Inbox for a while I am still not convinced whether I prefer it over normal Gmail. I like Inbox on my smartphone but prefer the original Gmail on my tablet and laptops/desktops. Whilst you can use either on any device, Inbox encourages you to mark items as "done" which just archives them. I prefer to bin or trash items if I don't want to see them ever again. I presume archiving items slowly consumes your free storage area.
