Hundreds of streaming services and nothing to watch

Quick Read

“Fifty-seven channels, and nothin’ on.” Bruce Springsteen famously said those words during a concert and later in a song in the 1990s about the number of TV channels seemingly growing disproportionately to the availability of enjoyable content. Within a few years, there would be hundreds of TV channels and still, some would argue in hyperbolic frustration, “nothing to watch.”Read full article Comments

Google pushes privacy angle as Gemini-powered smartglasses debut starting at $395

Smartglasses have always faced an uphill road to acceptance. Not only is propping a computer up on your nose an uncomfortable proposition, but the privacy aspect has been vexing people since the Google Glass days. Now, Google is ready to take another swing at "intelligent eyewear" for the Gemini era after previewing its plans a couple of times. The first glasses are up for preorder today from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, but they're no impulse buy. These devices are a collaboration between Google, Samsung, and the aforementioned eyewear designers. Gentle Monster and Warby Parker have each designed a few different frames, with options for transparent and tinted lenses. Samsung is providing the computing hardware that fits inside them, and Google has the software covered. Warby Parker has designed three frames for Google eyewear, called Alden, Reid, and Wren (see above). They are available with both standard optical and sun lenses in Pine, Saddle, and Jet Black colors at $395 and higher. Warby Parker is only selling devices in the US. Gentle Monster has gone a bit further with six styles, but Google hasn't told us any names for those yet. They come in dark red, pink, gray, and yellow colors and are available with clear, tinted, blue, or brown lenses. The Gentle Monster styles start a little higher at $449, and they will be available in the US and South Korea.Read full article Comments

Review: Apple’s M6 iMac is pricey, but it’s still a good choice for a clean desk

The Apple Silicon iMac got its fourth refresh this month. Every other Apple Silicon Mac has found a way to move forward over the last half-decade—we've gotten a more Pro design for the MacBook Pro, a mini-er design for the Mac mini, and a Mac Studio that has finally made Apple admit it doesn't want to make the Mac Pro anymore. But the Apple Silicon iMac has always been more interested in looking backward. It's the thin, screen-on-a-stand iMac design by way of the original Bondi Blue G3 iMac. It's a clean and pretty desktop computer, one I see all the time in small offices and on TV shows that depict small offices. We're long past the days when it was Apple's primary workstation computer.Read full article Comments
