You read it right. Of late, Gmail pushed an advertisement to some of its Android and Web users flaunting the “smarter, faster and safer email service” it provides on iPhone. What a blooper.

Looks like, in desperation to attract more customers, marketing is getting on the company’s head. Interestingly, they were encouraging its existing Android and Web users to fall for the service it provides on iPhone. Guess, the company is expecting too much from its poor users.

Currently, I am pursuing Ph.D (Psychology), and have been teaching the same for past four years. Coming to PiunikaWeb, I know it was a complete switch over, but the idea was appealing enough to put in all the effort it called for. My work primarily involves research.

You can find me on LinkedIN.
