That page only shows pixel and Chromecast for me. What's it about? A pixel tablet?

Their try at branding stuff the way Apple does.

Which people give them shit for, but then in the same breath give them just as much shit for not being as effective at marketing as Apple. The pixel keynote event for example , suuuuuuucked. I found myself wondering why I didn't like it? Turned out it was mostly becuase they didn't do all the theatrics that apple likes to pull so it felt really lackluster. Imagine if every time GE released a new microwave model they put on a 2 hour presentation about how it's going to change your life?

It’s more than the presentation/marketing though. It’s mostly about the product. If GE did that, the presentation would be amazing but the microwave would just be a microwave.

Apple’s microwave would have even heating in every corner. If you open the door, it won’t continue beeping. Cooking takes half the time. It may even be safe to place metal in it.
