When The Verge’s Richard Lawler reported that Google was rolling out its newly stylized version of Gmail for the web, I decided I wanted to take a look as well. Since my Gmail page hadn’t yet switched over, I clicked on the cog-like Settings icon in the upper-right corner of my page and then on

Get ready, because the 2022 TV models are hitting stores are almost here! They come with the spring, after being teased at CES. However, with the season’s best TV features being largely as abstruse as NFT browsers — along with on-going chip shortages and supply chain issues, your best option remains a quality 2021 TV. We
The Nissan Rogue gets a major improvement this year, but it’s not something you’ll notice right away.

Accordingly, the Gotham Hall event packed in fans and members of the press. COVID-19 may still be looming, but the OPPO-owned
Technically, OnePlus didn’t go anywhere. Especially in Europe and India, it’s been very much present over the past few years, putting out midrange devices that perform better than their price points indicate. But in the US, it feels like the company hasn’t quite had the same profile in recent years. That’s changing with the OnePlus

When I first heard of a new social media app called BeReal, I knew I had to try it. The app bills itself as the “anti-Instagram.” It takes the basic concept of the ‘gram — an endless-scroll feed of your friends’ slice-of-life photos — and revamps it into something more gamified and (a little) less
Microsoft told regulators in New Zealand that Activision Blizzard doesn’t make any “must have” games, dismissive language likely designed to address concerns over the software’s giant’s proposed $68.7 billion acquisition of the Call of Duty owner.
