10/10/2018, 1:48:35 PM
Apple and Google will continue to dominate the smartphone OS market. ✔ In addition to the Pixel 3, Google also unveiled the Pixel Slate tablet, which succeeds last year's Pixelbook and doubles as a laptop ✔ XNAS: GOOG | 4:00:00 PM 1138.82 price (usd) -10.15(-0.88%) daily change 52 week low 960.52 52 week high 1273.89 See Full Interactive Chart Data as of 4:00:00 PM on 10/9/2018 XNAS: GOOGL | 4:00:00 PM 1145.17 price (usd) -10.75(-0.93%) daily change 52 week low 977.08 52 week high 1291.44 See Full Interactive Chart Data as of 4:00:00 PM on 10/9/2018



Chrome OS may be the 2-in-1 solution we've been waiting for

10/10/2018, 6:43:28 PM
Google is uniquely positioned to give us the dual-purpose OS we deserve. ✔ This is a formula we've seen rise in popularity since the first Surface tablet ✔ But it's too limited to be useful, and is essentially Android at heart, making it terrible for proper multitasking ✔ With this software, Google could scoop up the 2-in-1 users who feel let down by Microsoft and Apple



iPhone XS Max vs. Note 9 camera comparison

10/10/2018, 12:16:27 PM
We tested the cameras on two of the biggest and most expensive smartphones you can buy. ✔ I was standing in the same place when I took both photos ✔ And if you have an Apple Watch, you can use the Camera Remote app to not only take a photo with your iPhone, but get a preview of it, too ✔ Those features are all really important to me, and even though the Note 9's camera is still excellent, the XS Max easily gets my vote as the better of the two



Pixel Slate's $200 problem: Its 'must-have' keyboard is sold separately

10/10/2018, 12:28:57 PM
Commentary: Google, Microsoft and Apple all pitch high-end tablets as multifunctional laptop replacements, then charge a hefty premium for the extra parts needed to match the hype. ✔ I watched Google's reveal of the much-leaked Pixel Slate with great interest ✔ Sure, $599 felt like a lot for a quasi-Chromebook (unless you're the even-more-expensive PixelBook), especially one that starts with an Intel Celeron processor -- but I firmly believe Chrome OS can be premium and doesn't have to be restricted to only budget PCs ✔ Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a Surface Pro in the wild without a keyboard

Apple needs a feature like Google’s Call Screen

10/10/2018, 4:34:51 PM
Google just one-upped Apple in a significant way by addressing a problem that’s plaguing U.S. cellphone owners: spam calls. The company’s new Pixel 3 flagship Android smartphone is first to introduce a new call screening feature that leverages the built-in Google Assistant. The screenin… ✔ Thanks and goodbye, the demo showed, after the recipient hit the Report as spam button ✔ It will also roll out to older Pixel devices next month (in English) ✔ Presumably, however, it will come to Android itself in time, when these early tests wrap ✔ advancements tied to only Google’s own hardware devices



Wireless charging: Are we doing this or not?

10/10/2018, 4:31:31 PM
Will the public embrace wireless charging now that Apple and Google do? ✔ Inductive charging does come with a couple of other drawbacks though ✔ That is, these devices get HOT when you leave them on their charging pads for more than a few minutes at a time ✔ But whether Apple pays anything more than lip service remains to be seen ✔ Images: Chris Velazco, Engadget (Pixel 3 charger)

Google’s all-glass Pixel 3 marks the end of an era

10/10/2018, 12:30:24 PM
The age of the aluminum flagship phone is over ✔ Photo by Vlad Savov / The Verge Like a flock of migrating birds, smartphone makers tend to move from one new trend to the other in groups ✔ Glass is fragile, so doubling up on its content in a phone obviously increases that device’s fragility ✔ It was always a contradiction, anyway: a device intended to be constantly connected to everything around it probably shouldn’t be enclosed in a shell that makes wireless connections difficult



Surface Studio 2 vs. iMac Pro: Which All-in-one Rules Them All? | Digital Trends

10/10/2018, 1:14:38 PM
Apple and Microsoft have faced off in many hardware and software arenas over the years, but the all-in-one space is as hotly competitive as any other. Pitting the Surface Studio 2 vs. iMac Pro sees two of the most powerful singular computing systems in the world competing head to head, to see which is the best. ✔ That’s more powerful than even the top-specification of the Surface Pro, but it is more expensive, too ✔ If you do decide to go with the iMac Pro, consider that we may see a refresh before the end of the year, so it may be worth holding out a few more months to find it that prediction holds true

10/10/2018, 6:09:20 PM

Google failed to justify the Pixel 3 XL’s massive notch

10/10/2018, 6:33:10 PM
A large notch requires a strong argument, and Google didn’t make one. ✔ So the big question is whether the edge-to-edge screen is worth it, and if the notch is a reasonable trade-off for that ✔ But it does the Pixel 3 XL no favors when the slightly smaller, notch-less version of the phone becomes the much more attractive option in the eyes of buyers

Pixel 3 Is An Android Fan's Dream, But Why is The Design Half-Finished? | Digital Trends

10/10/2018, 5:47:17 PM
Google has got 100-percent of the Pixel 3's specification and technology right, so we're annoyed that it only got 50-percent of the design right. Look at either from the back, and it's an improvement over the Pixel 2; but look at them from the front? Oh dear. In a year of fabulous phones, this is a problem. ✔ The worst year to make an ugly phone There’s never a good time to release a product that makes you think so deeply about the design, but 2018 has given us such a long list of awesome-looking phones: One with gawky looks stands out for all the wrong reasons

10/10/2018, 7:44:28 PM
U.S. stocks posted their biggest decline in more than six months Wednesday, as investors accelerated their retreat from fast-growing technology stocks. ✔ It’s not just big-name tech companies; smaller companies have also struggled, with semiconductor companies, as measured by the PHLX Semiconductor index, down 2.9% on Wednesday ✔ As much as it’s painful short term, it’s actually really healthy longer term that they’re pulling back, said Mr. Slimmon, who added that after a reset in these momentum stocks, he could see these company shares rising again into the end of the year
