Andy Rubin, the father of Android, is leaving Google

We haven’t heard much about Andy Rubin ever since he handed control of Android over to Sundar Pichai in 2013, but because he’s the father of Android, we’ll always have a soft spot for Mr. Rubin. That’s why it’s kind of a bummer to hear that he’s officially leaving Google.


Yes, Andy Rubin is leaving Google and the robotics division that he headed up after leaving Android. Google says that it’s still committed to robotics and that James Kuffner, a Google research scientist, will take Rubin’s position as head of the robotics division.


In a statement regarding Andy Rubin’s departure, Google CEO Larry Page said that he wishes Rubin the best. “With Android he created something truly remarkable — with a billion-plus happy users. Thank you.”


It’s not clear why Rubin left Google. A source speaking to the Wall Street Journal says that Rubin was “facing constraints on his activities” inside Google, which went against he entrepreneurial personality. Rubin denied that claim, saying that he “didn’t really have any issues with independence” and that he simply wanted to do something new.


Looking ahead, Andy Rubin will be helping startups build new technology hardware. That can include a number of products, and while it’s not known exactly how much we’ll see Rubin dabble in mobile again, we’ll always be interested in hearing what he’s up to thanks to all of his contributions to Android and mobile as a whole.

Moto X (2014) in leather going for $0 on contract, bamboo for $20

moto x 2014 first impressions (17 of 18)


What is the right price for the new Moto X (2014)? If you said $0 on contract, you’re in luck. Get the Leather backed Motorola Moto X (2014) for just $0 at Amazon, the black resin version is only a dollar more, and Best Buy is offering similar pricing too.


The deals go for the new Moto X (2014) on two-year contract, the leather model runs with AT&T and the resin will land you on either AT&T or Verizon. In addition to the $0 leather and $1 black resin, you can head over to Best Buy to get the bamboo version for just $20 on the same two-year offerings.


moto x 2014 first impressions (4 of 18)


If you were in need of a little reminder, the new Moto X (2014) is Motorola’s very much updated followup to their well equipped original Moto X. The new version brought with it a half inch larger display and a significantly more powerful processing package.


The new Moto X (2014) comes in with a 5.2-inch display, Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP main camera. It ships now with Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but keep in mind that Motorola has already promised it will get Android 5.0 Lollipop as soon as it can.


Let’s lay out those deals again for you – you can get the Motorola Moto X (2014) on a two year contract as follows:



  • AT&T leather backed version for $0 at Amazon

  • AT&T leather backed version for $19.99 at Best Buy

  • AT&T black resin version for $1 at Amazon or Best Buy

  • Verizon black resin version for $1 at Amazon or Best Buy

  • AT&T Bamboo version for $19.99 at Best Buy

  • Verizon Bamboo version for $29.99 at Best Buy


If ever you had decent choices for a fairly great phone, this is it. Sure beats the $50 deal for Verizon last week, and, while we could argue the merits of carrier contracts, it sure is easier to swallow than the $500+ to purchase the Moto X (2014) outright.


What do you say, is now the time to purchase the new Moto X (2014)?
