The faucet for Google leaks is on, and no one is home.

These particular leaks include images of not only Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 but also its next smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 4. Sorry, Google, looks like the whole cat is now out of the bag.

iOS 26 envy? 5 iPhone features you can already use on your Android (Samsung included)

zdnet.com Jason Howell 2026-01-26 03:55:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Apple's WWDC annual developer conference in June signaled the first major redesign of iOS since 2013, with flashy demos of iOS 26's Liquid Glass design and AI-driven features. Apple sometimes takes its time bringing features to its many surfaces, but when it does, it's often a highly polished and well-considered take on a familiar theme. With the public beta release of iOS 26 this week, let's unpack a few ways where Apple's software is catching up, and how it stacks up against

How to sync passkeys in Chrome across your PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2026-01-26 03:58:04

Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys promise to replace passwords as a more secure and convenient login method. But they still have a way to go before fulfilling that promise. That's because passkeys are often way too difficult to set up on one device, let alone all the devices you use. The industry itself offers no standard or consistent method to save and store passkeys, so each company has cobbled together its own process, which may or may not work. Also: Passkeys won't be

Given the “dramatic changes” brought about by this administration, “the future will not be the past,” she says. “This is like a natural disaster. We can’t think about rebuilding in the way that things have been in the past. We have to look ahead and say, ‘What is needed? What can people afford?’” Organizations can also use this moment to test and develop emerging technologies that could improve greenhouse-gas measurements, including novel sensors or artificial intelligence tools, Hayes says. “

Why I am a Pixel guy

I’ve been an Android guy for 15 years. Fun fact: I have never owned an iPhone. I’ve been on Team Android since day one, and over that decade and a half, I’ve used phones from nearly every major brand you can think of — Samsung, LG, OnePlus, and more. But for the past few years, I’ve been all-in on one brand: Google Pixel. My current daily driver is the Google Pixel 9 Pro, and whenever I need to use another phone for work, I immediately find myself missing it. But what is it about this phone, an

For over two decades, “Google it” has been the default way to find answers online.
