Google I/O brings together developers from around the globe for talks, hands-on learning with Google experts, and a first look at Google’s latest developer products. This year's edition kick-starts on the 7th of May through to the 9th of May. Ahead of this event, Afdtechtalk staff have some predictions of how this event will unfold. We then turn our attention to Boeing and its fiasco with 737 Max 8 and very recently a 737 that skidded off into a river shortly after take-off. We discuss the motivations for Boeing's rushed Max 8 models and throw more light on the dreadful MCAS software that unfortunately contributed to the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air disasters that claimed the lives of many.
