Back in February, Google promised that by the end of 2021, Stadia would have 100 games to play, and while that initially seemed like a tall order, this week marks the fulfillment of that wild promise with the release of the long-awaited title Chorus, which happens to be that 100th game! While this doesn’t mean […]
Android TV and other Google TV devices using version 2.15.006 of the Youtube app are beginning to receive a brand new user interface for playlists. First discovered by 9to5Google, the new UI is clean and professional, and has one major difference from the previous iteration that once populated the space. Instead of autoplaying all of […]
Google Chat has slowly become a worthy replacement for Hangouts, and while it still has some changes to make before it’s truly on par with its predecessor, Google continues to support and develop the service for individuals and organizations alike in response to the global pandemic. Not all of the changes have been widely accepted […]
Not long ago, I was overjoyed to finally be writing the headline “Chromecast with Google TV will finally receive personalized user profiles”.

Last year, Google released festive ringtones for its Nest Hello doorbell, but they were locked behind a Nest Aware subscription. On top of that, some users were having issues with them triggering. This year, the company is bringing these fun little tunes back. The best part is that this time around, they’re absolutely free to […]
Youtube recently received a new “Podcast Lead” who has been tasked with cleaning up the experience for podcasting listening and watching on the platform. Kai Chuk, an individual with over 10 years of experience at Google, has been planning something big with his team since then, and with rumors of Youtube absorbing Google Podcasts in […]
Not content to sit back and let MediaTek get all the ARM-powered Chromebook attention, Qualcomm has announced a new SoC for Chromebooks at their 2021 Snapdragon Tech Summit.

So, do you remember last month when we thought Google was going to finally reveal its own smartwatch – the “Pixel Watch” – created by its newly acquired Fitbit team? Do you recall them skipping over it entirely and then hearing nothing of it in the time following? We do. I can’t tell you how […]
