Google's first foldable phone got thick-ass bezels. But goddamn it, the Pixel Fold looks good and costs a bomb!
Google Pixel Fold costs $,1799, enough to buy a bike in India and get arrested by the local police while trying to make a cringe social media video. Regardless, it looks quite handsome, and offers some neat software tricks, too.
This is the new Google Pixel 7a. It's a great phone, but a terrible deal in India!
Google Pixel 7a offers a top-tier Tensor G2 processor, a reliable set of cameras, and a promise of software updates extending up to five years. But the asking price in India can only be ignored if you are a blindingly loyal Pixel fanboi!
Nearby Share is now live for wireless Android-Windows file transfer. Suck it, AirDrop!

This chatty AI is your emotional support bud. It’s frikkin fun and eerily human!
The creators of Pi say their surprisingly empathetic and fun AI can be your “coach, confidante, creative partner, or sounding board.” The best part is that you can access it almost everywhere — from web browsers to Instagram, and even WhatsApp.
Gmail also gets a blue checkmark for email IDs. It's the good kind, not a paid shit!

Apple now owns Godzilla, too!
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, Apple is the new video streaming behemoth on the block. Shows like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Prehistoric Planet, and Foundation (must watch!!!) are already the talk of the town and winning awards.
The company recently ordered a Lionel Messi film to its pipeline. This happened merely days after the football wizard signed up with an American club and started scoring goals like a machine, while the matches are streamed on Apple’s platform.
You can now add Godzilla to the list of Apple entertainment properties, too!

Google Search will spoon-feed you long articles as a short summary
Everyone in the tech industry has gone mad over AI. Google, the lord of our entire digital existence, is no exception. The latest from its lab is a new feature called “SGE while browsing,” which presents a short summarized version of a long, complex article. Here’s how Google describes it:
“On some web pages you visit, you can tap to see an AI-generated list of the key points an article covers, with links that will take you straight to what you’re looking for directly on the page. We’ll also help you dig deeper with “Explore on page,” where you can see questions the article answers and jump to the relevant section to learn more.”
Here’s the feature in action:
The feature is rolling out inside the Google app for Android and iOS. It will soon arrive on Chrome for desktop, too. However, it’s an experimental feature, and can be enabled after you sign up for the Google Labs. Unfortunately, Google Labs is currently limited to the US market, and there is no timeline for an international expansion.
