Think. Tinker. Dominate. Game developer and author. Must learn something new every day. I have a passion for the mobile games industry and where it's headed. I enjoy working out and eating delicious food to counteract my progress.
Google Contacts has undergone some significant changes over the past year. It’s not really a powerful CMS by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s much more capable than it was, and it’s becoming even more so with every update. Thanks to a user named @Nail_Sadykov on Twitter, we now have our first look at […]
Google has begun the switch to its Tasks service in Calendar as a replacement for standard and Assistant-based “Reminders”. Previously, you could set reminders from Assistant or Google Keep for notes so that they would pop up at a pre-determined time or location. Now that both of these features are in the toilet though, I’m […]
Starting right now, if you have a Google One subscription for 2TB or higher and have signed up for Labs in Search, you can enable Google’s new SGE, or Search Generative Experience. Essentially, this is its artificial intelligence integrated with Google Search! What Search Generative Experience is NOT Now, this isn’t exactly meant to replace […]
Love it or hate it, Google Collections, Google’s content curation tool that’s kind of but sort of not meant to replace bookmarks is still alive and kicking. As I’ve covered a bunch in the past, Collections lets you save recipes, Maps locations, Travel trips, images, shopping products and pretty much anything else across the company’s […]
If you read Chrome Unboxed often, you’ll no doubt have heard of Wasserstein accessories. I write about them all the time and think they’re some of the best third-party accessories for the Google and Nest ecosystem. Not long ago, the company released a 2-in-1 charging stand for the Pixel Phone and Buds to sit alongside […]
Yesterday, I was using the Google Search app on my Pixel phone and I tried to ask it and Assistant how to say something Japanese in English to verify that I was learning the best approach to the language in the Duolingo app for professions. Upon asking “(Hey Google,) How do you say ‘bengoshi’ in […]
In a recent announcement on the Keyword blog, Google revealed that its highly customizable Chrome theming system will now be accessible directly from the Side Panel of the browser, and what’s more, it will show you real-time changes as you make them. Gone are the days of selecting a theme or color and then clicking […]
Last November, Backbone, a premium telescopic mobile game controller manufacturer, made its awesome accessory available to Android users after a long time where it was only compatible with iPhones. Shortly before that announcement, the company collaborated with Sony to create an iPhone-centric PlayStation-themed version of that same controller. Unfortunately for anyone with and Android device, […]
Thanks to the ChromeOS Material You redesign, Google’s laptop operating system is undergoing a complete transformation. Clearly, the company aims to embody their new vision for Chromebooks as versatile and enjoyable devices for everyone, rather than mere Chrome browsers confined to a box. Already, numerous elements such as the shelf, launcher, quick settings, and the […]
I’ve said many times here that I’m a big fan of Runescape, and have been playing since 2001. So, when I got news that Runescape Mobile was coming out, I was stoked to play wherever I wanted in smaller portions. Grinding through a few more passive skills without needing to be sitting at the desktop […]
I know I’m not alone when I say I often visit “What’s My IP” on a Google Search to quickly figure out what my information is for one reason or another. Whether I’m connecting my device to my PS5 for remote play, or something else, it’s a handy thing to well, have on hand. Google […]
In a twist of fate, Google is now playing with the idea of introducing a less ideal viewing experience for YouTube users on their living room televisions. Instead of the normal advertisements you get if you’re not paying for Premium each month, the platform will soon show you 30-second advertisements that simply can’t be skipped. […]
Google Chat, Google’s replacement for Hangouts, has added a lot of features that help it and its sub-feature, Spaces, replace things like Google+ or “Currents” for Enterprise. It’s a different philosophy and approach to social, and acts more as an intranet than an open social network. A year ago, the company added emoji reactions to […]
You may not realize it until you open your Chromebook launcher and search for it, only to be disappointed, but unlike other operating systems such as Windows, ChromeOS has no clock app! Well, that’s not entirely true, but it’s just not native – let me explain. Since 2017, it’s technically been available on your laptop, […]
