A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Here comes Jon Prosser again, bringing us a new, fresh look at the Pixel Watch in a cheeky way that I can relate to in more ways than I care to admit. First up, the elephant in the room needs to be discussed. Jon leaked renders of the Pixel Watch back in April (we posted […]
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 […]
Here’s the thing: I’ve been pretty harsh on Chromebook tablets over the years. From the early attempts like Acer’s Chromebook Tab 10 to the swing-and-a-miss that was the Pixel Slate to the latest HP Chromebook x2 11, I’ve not found a tablet running Chrome OS at this point that I’ve loved using. But this new […]

Correction: 12/3/21: Google has reached out to let us know that Little Nightmares is not, in fact, being added back into Stadia Pro and that Darksider’s 2 is not leaving Stadia Pro. Instead, Everspace left the Pro lineup on December 1, 2021. We will leave the original article intact below. Google’s game streaming platform, Stadia, […]
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 […]
“Desk Templates” are an extension of the virtual desks feature for Chromebooks that allow you to save and later recall apps, Chrome tabs, and more in dedicated workspaces with ease. One simple click and everything you were previously working on is restored! This differentiates itself from the Restore feature that you can reinstate these same […]
This past April, we reported on the new Chromebook Productivity Launcher gaining the ability to organize your apps and search results into categories in order to prevent information overload. Traditionally, searching with the ‘Everything button’ returns a wall of results that, while they appear in order, are not grouped or segregated in any meaningful way. […]
American Express and Google have partnered for Small Business Saturday this weekend to create large murals across four prominent U.S. cities – Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. However, these aren’t just any murals – they feature many Google Shopping “tag” icons that can be scanned directly using Google Lens on your phone. Once […]
The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have been here in the office with us for a little while now, and after actually using both of them for nearly a month at this point, I have some thoughts about both of these phones. Really, though, I wanted to share with all of you why it is […]
Even though we only saw the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro make their official debut just a month ago at this point, it feels like we’ve been with these phones for quite some time. With the mountain of early leaks and Google’s official unveiling of both the Pixel phones and their Tensor SoC in […]
Material You is Google’s very own theming engine that allows you to make its services your very own. A fun, variety of complementary colors that can be statically or dynamically set based on your wallpaper bring new life to the otherwise dull white or dark visuals that Google has worked toward for the past few […]
I’ve stated many times over that Google needs to redesign its dated, archaic design of the Play Store on the web, and have even prospected how one may propel the company toward merging the Chrome Web Store themes and extensions with it.
