Since there is no Pixel Watch I went with the Fossil Gen 6 knowing there were some positives and one huge drawback. It's running Google's Wear OS 2. To be honest, it was a tough sell for me knowing there is a newer version of Wear OS already out there. The fortunate thing is that it will see Wear OS 3 in a future update just not for months which does suck. In the meantime, there is the new Youtube Music app and Gboard we can play with for now. Check out the video for the unboxing and stick around the website for more coverage.

There just won't be hardware at the Pixel Fall Launch event we can also expect new and software updates along with a service announcement. Check out the video to see what might be announced. 

We are officially in Pixel season with the October 19th event right around the corner. We'll see the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro but what else will we see. Check out the video for more.

Google released Chrome OS 94 on Thursday, October 14th. Gone are the every six-week updates with the move to a monthly cadence starting with Chrome OS 96 in December. This is not the most feature-rich update Google has had to date but there are some things worth checking out. Hopefully, Google is setting us up for a big update later this year as we are still waiting on features like Android 11 and the Google Photos integration with Phone Hub. Chrome OS 94 includes new accessibility features with Select to Speak, improvements to the native Screen Recorder, and more.

  I recently purchased the JBL Live 460NC to compare against my current favorite on-ear headphones the JBL 700BT. Although I like the JBL Live 460NCs don't buy them for the noise cancellation. There are plenty of other features these headphones offer that make them compelling. Check out the video below.

When Google first announced the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro I thought for sure I was going to go with the Pixel 6 just based on size alone but that was until I got my hand on these cases. I tend to favor smaller Pixel's because of the ease of use and the pocketability. This year I think I am going to step out of my comfort zone and get the 6 Pro.  Some pics... And a video...

  Last week, Google announced that a firmware update was on its way to your Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds. Today, I received said update and decided to use the manual method since it's a new feature for the earbuds.  Once your Pixel Buds A are ready to update to the new firmware you will be greeted with a notification. Selecting the notification will bring you to the above image.  Pressing Start will send you to the above-pictured screen reminding you to ensure to snap in your earbuds and keep your case open. The light will be on during the update. Selecting Got it will start the download and then will install. I noticed that the light on the case blinked white and orange during the download. Turned white during the installation and the light turned off about halfway through the process. Updating the earbuds was fairly smooth but not without its faults. The update did complete for me but I was still provided with the above message. I double-checked in settings and... Voila... There

  New feature updates are cool and an essential part of a modern-day operating system. What you might not know is that Google tends to update its devices including the Chromecast w/Google TV on the server-side as well. Not sure if this update came way of a server-side switch or through a system app update. Nevertheless, the outcome is still the same in that CCWGT will warn you when the batteries in the accompanying remote are low. By no means am I saying this is a groundbreaking feature but it does show that Google is still refining the device. So, how the feature work is that you will see a notification dot on your profile pic located in the upper right of the TV. Selecting your profile pic brings up Settings, the time, and the notifications area at the bottom. Here is where you will see the Replace Battery Soon message. You can simply clear the notification with the Clear all button or even better just replace the batteries in the remote. Once the batteries are replaced the notificat
