I know it is approaching the holiday season and I know we always see great deals this time of year, but this one is ludicrous. What makes it even more crazy is the fact that just a couple weeks ago I wrote about this same Chromebook and a similar deal and it was a fantastic […]

Sundar Pichai – Google and Alphabet’s CEO – has been very vocal about the company’s efforts to inject Google Shopping into practically everything it can.

Continue ReadingYoutube does the world a service and hides public downvotes across the platform
The second-largest search engine in the world, Google’s video streaming platform has long been a dumping ground for hate and vitriol. Just go and look at the comments section of any Youtube video and you’ll know what mean. Hell, you probably already do. While the platform has done much to resolve these issues, one tool […]
Continue ReadingSparklite is an awesome roguelike indie RPG you can play on your Chromebook
It’s not often I see Android games add popular mobile features that greatly improve the user experience for larger screen devices. It’s even less often that I see indie devs do this!

Continue ReadingTab Maker by Google lets you create your own New Tab Page design as an extension
New tab page designs are nothing new – they’ve been around for a long time. Before developers could even create their own, Google had several designs available for users to spice up the design of the first thing they see when they get started in Chrome each morning. Recently, the company also released dedicated designs […]

It’s just that time of year, folks. Things are going on sale right and left, people are in a shopping sort of mood more than ever, and Chromebook price tags are dropping fast. We talk about deals all the time and while I don’t want to paint this one as the greatest deal of all […]

This year with Google’s new phones – the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro – I’m finding myself in a strange and unforeseen dilemma: I can’t decide which one to buy. Look, I get it. I’m in a privileged position of having both of these new phones in my hand and have spent the last week […]

I’ll never forget: it was my senior year in high school, I was getting ready to take my girlfriend to senior prom, and graduation was just around the corner!
