Pixel 8 Face Unlock is a massive feature addition that I totally missed  Ever since Apple introduced FaceID on the iPhone and Google attempted to follow along with the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 Pro, I’ve been waiting for this feature to make a comeback on Google’s phones. The Pixel 4 iteration worked fine, but no developers got on board, so there were no apps outside of Google’s […] Read More The Chrome Cast 242: Google's Pixel 8 hardware event recap  For this episode of The Chrome Cast, we dive into all the announcements from Google’s 10/4 hardware event. From a keynote that announced everything from the Pixel 8 Pro to the Pixel Watch 2 and generative AI everywhere, there’s clearly a lot to talk about.

The traditional desktop application was leagues out of a web browser’s capabilities, but as the years passed, Chrome and other browsers became so much more capable. Today, web apps […] Read More PSA: Google TV is packed with spooky TV shows and movies throughout the Halloween season  October’s arrival not only paints the trees with a myriad of colors (not in Florida) but also ushers in a wave of ghoulish fun and thrilling experiences, and no, you’re not too old for that. As you embrace the Halloween spirit by setting out spooky decorations and eating all of the candy that was originally […] Read More Why the Fitbit Charge 6 is on my wrist instead of the Pixel Watch 2  First things first: I can’t give any opinions on either wearable for now. We can talk about each one’s features and other public details for now, but I can’t weigh in on my thoughts. And that’s OK since I don’t have a ton of those just yet, anyway. But I wrote a piece not long […] Read More You should go take a look at Google's new Chromebook Plus landing page  There’s been a lot going on over the past week or so, right? A little over a week ago, we were in New York City to hear all about Chromebook Plus and now the Google Hardware Event has all of us talking about Google’s new mobile devices as well. There are new features, new devices, […] Read More Google unveils the Pixel Watch 2, complete with a stress detector, temperature sensor, and more  At the Made by Google event today, Google officially unveiled its Pixel Watch 2, the second generation of its wearable meant to bridge the gap between WearOS and Fitbit.

The first […] Read More New Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones are here: what you need to know  Google just took the wraps off their latest smartphones: the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. While there wasn’t a ton of new stuff that we didn’t know about before the event thanks to the ridiculous amount of leaks we’ve seen in the past few weeks, Google’s moves specifically with regard to AI in these […] Read More Just as I predicted, Google just injected Assistant with Bard AI and it's going to change everything  Google just wrapped up its Made by Google hardware event this morning, and while a lot of things we got were certainly known and revealed ahead of time, a few features and updates were a complete surprise.
