A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Managing one’s data well can be quite difficult in today’s world where every time you turn around, someone else is asking you to sign up for another subscription service or to create another account that requires you to store yet another password. Keeping separate Chrome browser user profiles can be a great way to create […]
Most people prefer their new tab page to include a Google search bar and nothing more. They like it to be simple and to the point, while others prefer to have an extension show them other things like a relaxing motion wallpaper or a clock widget. Instead, a Google Shopping widget may soon occupy that […]
Now that Google Chat is trying to clean up the mess that Hangouts left, we learned that it would begin by killing off support for Google Fi users to text, call and check voicemail through the Hangouts app itself. Back in May of this year, Android Police did a teardown of the Google Messages app […]
Google has continually increased the value proposition of its app and game subscription service and it’s only over these past few months that I’ve been more excited about it. Google Play Pass offers you over 500 apps and games in an ad-free experience for each entry. It even bundles in all of the respective in-app purchases at […]
Shortly after I had time to play with Google’s new Chromecast with Google TV built-in, I talked about how it was truly the little things that caused it to win me over. Things like a specific feature of the remote and aspects of the live TV feature from Youtube TV, to name a few. While […]
I’ve used Google Fi since it launched and I’m pretty happy with it for the most part. That being said, I normally just pay outright for my phones because I hate being locked into an extra contract for the hardware.

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea of a Black Friday event at any store sounds like a complete disaster. Having hundreds of people crammed together, potentially without masks is not how I imagine my ideal holiday. Google doesn’t seem to think it’s a good idea either, but it will probably happen anyway. Many retailers […]
Well, folks, that’s it. Stadia just closed off its last day of trailers, reveals, and demos and I’ve got to say up front that while I’m disappointed to see that no UPlay+ integration (soon to be Ubisoft Connect instead) or Family Sharing was announced, I was a little more impressed with the games this time […]
Bookmarks are dead. Okay, now that I’ve ruffled a few feathers, allow me to explain myself. Bookmarks aren’t necessarily dead, because we still need to store and organize information from around the web, but bookmarks, as we know them, are coming to an end. You see, the human brain is terrible at persistently organizing data […]
If you have one of Google’s smart displays, you may soon be able to invoke the Assistant just by getting close to it. I have to admit, it seems really convenient to not have to constantly say “Hey Google” each time I want to perform an action. Sure, Assistant already has a continued conversation feature, […]
Day two of Stadia’s ‘Good Stuff’ reveal event just wrapped up and we received another five-minute video showing off what’s new with the cloud gaming platform. I’m not going to sugar coat this and say that I was super impressed. I think that instead of holding the best stuff for tomorrow, which it seems the […]
Email has always been a static, read-only tool for delivering information back and forth between parties.
