“The industrial design and hardware were met with great enthusiasm. We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today,” Google wrote in an e-mail to pre-order customers. “In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better.” The $300 device offered some unique features such as it allowed users have access to play media from their Android devices on TV sets and external speaker systems....

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a huge layer of safety to your logins, but only if it’s switched on. By the end of 2021, Google plans to switch over 150 million Google users, and force 2 million YouTubers to enable the setting. 2FA has been available through Google for years, but in 2018, only 10% of accounts were using it. People just don’t seem to bother with anything that isn’t on by default....

Google is looking to change that, however, and the company’s opening salvo is a major update to its built-in password manager. This update brings many improvements to the service, including grouping multiple passwords for the same sites or apps together in one field. There has also been a spate of improvements to the Android version of the password manager, as it now looks and feels the same as its Chrome-based counterpart, and settings automatically transfer between the two....

We will take two Google to-do list apps, namely Google Tasks and Google Keep that make scheduling and planning our daily tasks much easier. Google Tasks is one of the simplest and most famous notepad apps for Android. Earlier, it lived under the menu button in Gmail as Gmail Tasks with an outdated design for years. But Google revamped Google Tasks with contemporary features and fresh design. Google Keep is rather a classic and simple app with a lot of features under its hood....

The 64-year-old Hall of Fame pitcher went on an f-bomb laced tirade in an interview with ESPN when asked about the current state of baseball. We’re not sure why he’s so worked up, but, boy, did he have a lot to get off his chest in what ESPN called a 10-minute interview. MORE: Sorry, Goose, MLB’s record book could see some changes, too “[Jose] Bautista is a f—ing disgrace to the game,” Gossage told ESPN....

Collins, along with Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney, aligned their votes with House Democrats in a failed effort to get the vote for witnesses and new documents approved. That motion was voted down in the Senate by a vote of 51-49. Rollins said Trump was in a “fabulous place” because of the practically unanimous support he is currently enjoying from the Republican party. “With the exception of Romney and Collins, who probably signed her death warrant today,” Rollins said, “this party is united behind this president and basically backed him 100 percent in the house, 99 percent in the Senate....

In a video Barnett published on his TikTok channel, which has just 226 followers, he can be seen at a Walmart self-check out telling his son “Look, it’s my favorite big booty Latina” while pointing at a woman who’s busy packing up groceries. Barnett is running in the GOP primary for Arizona’s congressional district one in August. Those same words —“my favorite big booty Latina”— were used by social media personality and self-described “professional troll” Alex Stein, who filmed himself verbally sexually harassing Ocasio-Cortez while she was on her way in to the Capitol earlier this month....

While the GOP-led Senate passed the measures in a partisan 19-15 vote, the bills will very likely be vetoed by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat. Whitmer has previously shot down a number of laws aimed at banning the wearing of masks and vaccine requirements. Despite Whitmer hesitating to enforce a statewide mandate on masks and vaccines, she has made her position on the matter clear, issuing a statement in August supporting any school’s decision to require masks....

Just 28 percent of the adults surveyed nationwide favored a Trump run. However, the survey found that a majority of Republicans favored the former president making a run for a second term. Sixty percent of Republicans surveyed said they felt he should run while 40 percent of Republicans surveyed said they did not want to see him on the ballot. In turn, 73 percent of independents who responded to the survey said they felt he should not run, and 26 percent said they wanted to see Trump on the ticket....

“I think it’s harmful. It’s certainly not helpful,” Cox said during a KUED news conference. The governor, who said he didn’t have hard data on vaccine hesitancy, expressed frustration with a recent push from right-wing media outlets like Fox News and Newsmax to malign COVID-19 vaccination. Rob Schmitt, a prime-time host for Newsmax recently said vaccines go “against nature,” that some diseases are “supposed to wipe out a certain number of people” and that “vaccines kind of stand in the way of that....

The former Celtics forward sustained the problem in Monday’s 112-109 preseason loss to the Raptors, his second appearance for Charlotte. Hayward only joined Michael Jordan’s Hornets on a four-year, $120 million deal on Nov. 29. The Hornets are hopeful Hayward can avoid surgery and are listing the 2017 NBA All-Star as day-to-day going forward, though he will not face the Magic on Thursday. “Forward Gordon Hayward sustained an avulsion fracture of his fifth metacarpal on his right hand during the team’s preseason game against the Toronto Raptors on December 14,” read a statement from the Hornets on Wednesday....

Gore has a hard act to follow: his own. A superstar on the campaign trail, he helped transform a troubled ticket into a New Age dynamo. After the election he became a fixture around Little Rock with his early-morning jogs and high-profile huddling with Bill and Hillary over cabinet appointments. Aides burbled about how Gore had “bonded” with Clinton. But he has groused to friends that he was underemployed during the transition....

That eight-point advantage is statistically unchanged from last week’s NEWSWEEK poll, in which the Vice President held a 10-point lead (the polls have a margin of error of plus or minus four points). The critical post-Labor Day national polls now paint a picture of a race that ranges from a dead heat to a significant Gore lead. Gore has a slight edge in the Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll, the Fox/Opinion Dynamics poll and a significant lead in the Zogby poll....

Jessie is for all intents and purposes the leader of the Team Rocket trio, and her commanding personality has always depicted her as the woman in charge, even though both James and Meowth equally contribute to the pair’s outrageous and at times ridiculous plans to snatch other people’s Pokemon. Despite the extreme makeover they went through in the days of Pokemon Black and White, both aesthetically and in their work efficiency, they went back to their basic tropes in recent years, continuing to be the anime’s biggest comic relief....

What did Google do to get noticed at Oscars? Google made movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Ladybird, Psycho, and Scream appear in a short and that was played throughout the show. The ad showcased crucial scenes from each of these movies to show how each movie would work with Google Assistant to save time or assist the characters. In Scream, Drew Barrymore uses a Nest camera to ward off Ghostface, while Lyft is used to get out of an annoying situation in Lady Bird....

Overall Findings Deciding whether HomePod or Google Home is the best device for you depends on how you plan to use it. Both speakers can do the same kinds of things—answer questions, set timers, control smart-home devices, stream music—but the ways they do them, and the tools they use, can be different. The Best Intelligent Assistant: Google Is Hard to Beat The thing that makes a smart speaker smart is the intelligent assistant that listens for your voice and responds to your commands....
