Of course, this is not the first time that Google is doing such a thing, and they did a similar act last year. Star Wars has lots of fans around the world, and Google tries to make Star Wars Day more enchanting to them. The ‘‘May the Fourth’’ homescreen row now appears on the Chromecast with Google TV and some TCL TVs. As you can see in the screenshot, a “May 4 Be With You” row has appeared, saying, “Celebrate Star Wars Day by exploring a galaxy far, far away....

Of course, Google did not tell us a lot about the tablet, I mean it is still over a year away from actually launching. So that makes sense. But we do know that it’ll launch with Android 13, or possibly 14, depending on what part of the year it comes. But the pictures that Google shared of the Pixel Tablet were, well, underwhelming. It looks like the Galaxy tablets from 2014 The first thing I thought when I saw this tablet at I/O yesterday was, “that looks like the Galaxy Note 10....

Google has an interesting track record with messaging services. It’s gone through several failed attempts at making one that’s pretty much a joke at this point. Hangouts is one of those attempts, and it was the main service until Allo came into the picture in 2016. Even then, people were pontificating about how long Hangouts had on this world. However, the service was able to survive until now. But, Hangouts will be shut down in a few months If Google Hangouts’ story sounds familiar, then you know about Internet Explorer....

Until July last year, Google took a 30 percent cut from every dollar Android developers made from apps distributed through Play Store. Worse yet, developers couldn’t opt for a third-party billing system. They must use the Android maker’s billing system and pay it a hefty chunk of their revenue. For small developers, this money could be critical for their growth. To that end, Google last year revamped its commission structure to half the revenue cut to 15 percent for the first $1 million revenue a developer generates in a year....

But first, let’s talk about what exactly Android Automotive is. Essentially, it’s Android Auto, but without your phone. So with Android Automotive, the entire car’s infotainment system runs on Android. It’s going to look familiar to those that use Android of course. But this means that Google Assistant is on-board, along with Google Maps and/or Waze for navigation instead of some mapping solution that the car maker put together. Which results in a much better experience....

With its consumer-facing business largely limited to the domestic market due to US sanctions, patent licensing has become an integral source of income for Huawei. The beleaguered Chinese tech behemoth holds thousands of patents across various industry sectors globally. It is the biggest patent holder in China and Europe, and the fifth-biggest in the US. The company licenses other companies to use these patented technologies and earns royalties. It made about $1....

Before we begin, however, it is worth noting these are not the company’s premium truly wireless earbuds. The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2, which I reviewed last year, take that spot in Huawei’s lineup. These are one step below the FreeBuds Pro 2, but are probably a better choice for the vast majority of you. Let’s see what they have to offer, shall we?

Huawei currently has three excellent offerings on the market, when it comes to smartwatches. The Huawei Watch 3, Watch GT 3, and this smartwatch. Each of them are really good in their own right. I’ve reviewed the first two a while back, and they proved their worth. The Huawei Watch GT Runner, though, in my opinion, goes a step forward as an overall package. That being said, let’s start....

Pixel Watch doesn’t really talk to the Pixel 7 Pro as much as it should First up, the Pixel Watch and the Pixel 7 Pro. They really don’t seem to talk to each other as much as they should be. One of the main things is that, when you set an alarm on your phone, it doesn’t set on your watch. What? Exactly. And Google seems to believe that is how it should work....

Bringing back Vine may be a good idea if TikTok gets banned As most of you know, TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company.

A report recently surfaced claiming that TikTok tracked US journalists too....
