    Google should have gone the GTA 6 route with its Pixel 11 show; instead, we got the Trevor Noah cringe fest (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Google launched its brand-new Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5 yesterday at 10 am, and then, eight hours later, re-announced the entire series in an awkward, 1.5-hour-long online presentation hosted by comedic sensation Trevor Noah. The show was broadcast on YouTube, and at one point only 57,000 people were watching, but I think it did go up to 80,000. Comments were also turned off, and I’m not surprised why. There were only two really amazing parts of the show: the first was when Joël Yawili,

    After playing with the Pixel 11 series, I realized how Google has singlehandedly raised the bar for AI on your phone (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I get excited every year when we know there’s going to be new Google Pixel phones. I'm even more excited about these phones because I consider them the base hardware for other Android OEMs to follow. I got to try Google’s new Pixel 11 series, and nearly everything about this year’s phones is perfect, except that nothing really has changed with the hardware. So you may be thinking…are these phones even worth it? In my opinion, this year is the year Google really should be focusing on perfecting G

    I went hands-on with the Pixel 11 Pro Fold; it's great, but I couldn't stop thinking about Samsung (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you asked me a few years ago about my thoughts on foldable devices, I would have given you the stank face and said they suck. I would then proceed to convince you that foldable devices feel cheap and aren’t worth the money. I have since completely changed my mind on them. In the past two years alone, I have seen some of the most premium-looking and feeling foldables on the market. And, while I think Google has always nailed it when it comes to their foldables, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold really isn

    Going hands-on with the Pixel Watch 5 makes me think, it's time Google launches a Pixel Watch Pro (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I think it’s time Google branched out to give people what they need — a Pixel Watch Pro. And I’m saying this because, after playing with the Pixel Watch 5, I’m not sure why the company keeps putting out a new version of the watch every year when not much has really changed. I want to be very clear: I love the Pixel Watch. I mean, I broke the news that the very first Pixel Watch was found in a restaurant. So you can imagine my excitement when I see new Pixel Watches every year. But now it’s start

    My Hydrangeas were dying, and it took a 20-minute Gemini conversation to fix them. This is how I used AI to help bring my flowers back to life (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s been my goal this year to perfect my gardening skills and really hone in on my green thumb. And since becoming a homeowner, the one thing I’m incredibly proud of is the perennial hydrangeas the previous owners planted and that I’ve been taking care of. But this year I noticed something terribly wrong: one entire side of my perennials wasn't growing as fast, almost seemed to be dying, and didn't look nourished. I went to Gemini to help me figure out what was going on and how I could fix it,
