Who hasn't heard of Google Drive? It's a well-known option for online storage and remains one of my favorites, as well as something I use daily for work.

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-04-13 20:56:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Over the past year, several Windows-like Linux distributions have been given the spotlight. A couple of those distributions were nothing more than malware in disguise, which has made me a bit squirrely about trying others, but to let a couple of bad apples spoil the entire bushel isn't fair, in my opinion. So when I came across yet another, I decided to give it a try. That distribution is AnduinOS, which is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution to

The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2026-04-13 21:00:22

The best Android phones in 2025 feature different models from multiple brands. That's the beauty of the current phone market, which spans from the best foldable phones, like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, that challenge the status quo, to cheap phones, like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Google Pixel 9a, that cater to consumers on a budget. Just last month, Samsung kicked off the thin-phone craze with the Galaxy S25 Edge, and I expect other phone makers to follow suit in 2025.
