When the service kicked off in March, allowing shoppers to order from retailers and get six months of same-day delivery free, Google invited some Bay Area residents to test it. Six months later, the service is now available to everyone in the Bay Area delivery zones, which includes San Francisco, San Jose and the Peninsula. Google also said it has released a new mobile app for Google Shopping Express, available for both Android and iOS, giving on-the-go shoppers the ability to search for specific items, browse different stores and have deliveries shipped right to their door that day.[/quote]
fuck yea
In 2030, Internet will be ran by 2 companies. Valve and Google.
Now all they need to do is extend it south to LA and SD
Great! I live in the bay area [quote] San Francisco, San Jose and the Peninsula.[/quote] Why no love for the East Bay?
Here come the world domination jokes.
Will this be using their self driving cars?
[QUOTE=Dr.C;42309284]Great! I live in the bay area Why no love for the East Bay?[/QUOTE] Yeah, what the fuck, they'd go all the way down from San Francisco to San Jose but not anywhere in the East Bay?
[QUOTE=Dinonid;42309333]Will this be using their self driving cars?[/QUOTE] I ordered a soda a few months ago to try it out. Google hires an independent courier service to drive around the city, pick up your package from the store, and bring it to your house
[QUOTE=Maruhai;42309139]In 2030, Internet will be ran by 2 companies. Valve and Google.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure someone said a similar thing years ago when it came to processors and video cards, except instead of Valve and Google it was Intel and AMD. As good as that would be ('ish) More competition is what makes great things.
Geezus fuck, I would never leave the house.
I need to move to the bay area some time.
[QUOTE=sjberlyant;42309569]I ordered a soda a few months ago to try it out. Google hires an independent courier service to drive around the city, pick up your package from the store, and bring it to your house[/QUOTE] Neat. How much did they charge for the delivery of your soda?

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;42310351]haha no[/QUOTE] I agree. Let's fix the quote. [quote] In 2030, the World will be ran by 2 companies. Valve and Google. [/quote]
google: encouraging agoraphobia since 1996
[QUOTE=Dinonid;42310081]Neat. How much did they charge for the delivery of your soda?[/QUOTE] I get 6 months without shipping fees since I got into a beta. Normally I think it's $5 or so.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;42310443]valve are privately owned and aren't even in the financial league of other big publishers or even close to the money that google has aka haha no[/QUOTE] Because privately owned dictates how much money a company can make.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;42309139]In 2030, Internet will be ran by 2 companies. Valve and Google.[/QUOTE] and then the government sues both of them because of antitrust laws. I don't care how good you think a company is, competition is the only reason Google strives to innovate so much
I think I need to try this tomorrow it sounds cool as fuck
