How to (Mostly) Get Rid of Liquid Glass

wired.com Justin Pot 2025-10-06 17:00:00

Some people love Apple’s new Liquid Glass interface. Most of them work at Apple. Jokes aside, the springy, heavily animated, and relatively transparent user interface–included with the latest “26” operating systems for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and all other Apple devices—is divisive. Many users like it, but designers and accessibility advocates criticize it for sacrificing clarity and readability on the altar of flashiness. People with older devices find the graphically intensive design is slowing ev

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-06 15:11:39

TL;DR Google may be working on bringing Nano Banana, Gemini’s popular image editing tool, to Google Photos. We’ve uncovered a GIF for a new “Create” feature in the Google Photos app, suggesting it’ll use Nano Banana inside the app. It’s unclear when the feature will roll out, but it’ll certainly make editing images in Google Photos more fun. Last month, Google rolled out Nano Banana, its newest AI-powered image editing tool, inside the Gemini app. Since then, it’s sparked viral trends online,

It isn’t your imagination: Google Cloud is flooding the zone

The $100 billion partnership between Nvidia and OpenAI, announced Monday, represents – for now – the latest mega-deal reshaping the AI infrastructure landscape. The agreement involves non-voting shares tied to massive chip purchases and enough computing power for more than 5 million U.S. households, deepening the relationship between two of AI’s most powerful players. Meanwhile, Google Cloud is placing a different bet entirely. While the industry’s biggest players cement ever-tighter partnershi

I typed in Midjourney to search for Midjourney because I wanted to use Midjourney. Here’s what I got instead. It’s the fifth result down on the page. So if you want to rank high on Google, not only do you need to build a great product to have enough backlinks but also pay Google so other lesser products can’t pay themselves to be ahead of you.

Google's ChromeOS Will Combine With Android Next Year to Supercharge Big-Screen AI

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-07 00:39:10

Bringing AI to smartphones and tablets has been a massive success for Google, which earlier this month saw its AI assistant Gemini become the top free app on Apple App Store for the first time. More specifically, AI and Gemini have come to be an integral part of the past few major Android updates, and at this point are super-well integrated into the Android ecosystem. For now, the same can't be said of ChromeOS, Google's lightweight operating system for computers and laptops. But that's all set
