Google just gave Shazam something to worry about |
If you've ever had the pleasure of hanging out in a coffee shop or bar and seeing the name of the song playing on the overhead speakers via your Pixel lock screen, you know how great Now Playing is. |

This is far better than Android’s one-handed mode. |
If you’ve ever tried to reach the top of a big phone with one hand, you know the little dance your fingers have to do. The bigger the screens, the worse it gets. Sure, Android has a one-handed mode, but it’s not the most elegant solution. It makes everything appear smaller, and you have to switch between two modes often. |
Who would have thought something so adorable would be so excellent? |
Customization is one of the main reasons why folks flock to the Android operating system. The ability to customize nearly every aspect of your user experience is a major selling point, and the ability to replace stock applications with open-source alternatives makes it even more enticing. It may sound silly, but one of the first things I always look to replace is the stock weather app. As someone obsessed with seeing what the weather is going to be like, I'd rather have something that is both accurate and adorable. |
These Gemini tricks make everything ridiculously easy. |
I'm fairly certain most people aren't using Gemini the way I do. Sure, Gemini can handle obvious tasks like brainstorming ideas, editing essays, answering random questions, or helping you understand something quickly. That's how most people interact with it, but that's really just skimming over it. What many users don't realize is that Gemini can do more than those basic tasks. Beyond the usual prompts are features and small tricks that can make your real-world work faster, easier, and more efficient. And once you start exploring those possibilities, the way you use the chatbot changes completely. |

The new MacBook Neo has been taking a beating online lately, mostly because the base model only comes with 8GB of RAM. For a $599 machine, people apparently expected more, and they have not been quiet about it. |
