    the audacity to start at $899 with built-in Gemini 😂

    No clue if it will be a success, wish them luck, but one thing is for sure in the USA inovation does not stop.

    Google new advertising strategy on Bloomberg is interesting! Complete innovation. For a moment I thought this was a news article.

    HP and best laptop should not be used in the same sentence unless it’s “not the best laptop”

    I really want this to be successful so Windows crashes and burns, but they should have not called the OS Googlebook OS, instead they should’ve just called it Android Desktop

    Given that Google just discontinued their Pixel Tablet after one generation, I will be waiting a few generations before I will even consider this.

    At $899, this must be server-based AI. It does not address privacy with a locally secured AI. Pichai is desparate to retain Google user traffic.

    This is really cool. I use a higher end model made by Asus that came out in Q4 2025. I’m not going to state the model and features and other capabilities but mine also has built in AI and interconnectivity as well and it’s actually not a hard process to integrate it as some may think as described in the video. My experience and expectations with AI have been great and thus far when it comes to the leadership aspect, Gemini is the clear leader overall for me hands down! Always looking forward towards the power of Google/Alphabet/Gemini products and services, I love it.

    It’s strange to me that companies are continuing to use the term AI in branding, almost everyone I know, both personally and at my job cringe now when they hear the term AI, it’s associated with AI data centers, potential loss of jobs, using it to cheat within academics etc. In other words, nothing positive. I would think companies would know that consumers are feeling a bit exhausted of AI taking over every aspect of tech, I know I am!

      If you have a Samsung phone and use DeX, you wouldn’t need integration.

    Ever since Sundar became a CEO, most of executives and VPs in engineering are Indians. He looks more interested in filling with Indians than making Google innovative.

    Just talking about hardware and not showing experience is not a great idea. Every call should be a demo I believe if experience is premium too.

    Another product Google will will support for a year or two then cancel it. Typical of that company.

    Can we call them Goobooks and their users Goobacks?

    I hear about this constantly. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time to constantly change my os… not to mention the corrupt files that come out of a cloud.

Oura CMO Says Wearable Health Tracking Moving Beyond Checkups

Oura’s Chief Medical Officer suggests wearable tech could give people a continuous picture of their health, rather than relying on occasional doctor visits.

Oura’s Chief Medical Officer suggests wearable tech could give people a continuous picture of their health, rather than relying on occasional doctor visits.
Dr. Ricky Bloomfield says the constant stream of health data provided to users of wearables, like Oura’s smart rings, can improve health outcomes and influence behavior. He says the long-term goal is to help spot changes earlier and connect people with care sooner. Bloomfield spoke to Tom Mackenzie on the latest episode of “Bloomberg Tech: Europe.”
