While it is not surprising that Google is planning to release the Pixel Watch 4 soon, new leaks suggest a couple of small changes that may set this apart from every other watch. The leaked renders provide a detailed look at the familiar design.

Andrew Cunningham and Lee Hutchinson have spent decades of their lives with Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson's Wheel of Time books, and they previously brought that knowledge to bear as they recapped each first season episode and second season episode of Amazon's WoT TV series. Now we're back in the saddle for season 3βalong with insights, jokes, and the occasional wild theory.
These recaps won't cover every element of every episode, but they will contain major spoilers for the show and the book series. We'll do our best to not spoil major future events from the books, but there's always the danger that something might slip out. If you want to stay completely unspoiled and haven't read the books, these recaps aren't for you.
New episodes of The Wheel of Time season 3 will be posted for Amazon Prime subscribers every Thursday. This write-up covers episode seven, "Goldeneyes," which was released on April 10.

On Monday, Meta will face the Federal Trade Commission in a legal fight that could reshape the social media landscape.
Over the next two months, the US government will make its case that the companyΓ’ΒΒs 2012 acquisition of Instagram and 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp squashed potential threats to its dominance. Meta, which went by the name of Facebook at the time, will defend itself by arguing that it helped grow those acquisitions into large businesses used by billions of people while facing plenty of competition along the way. The companyΓ’ΒΒs senior executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg and former COO Sheryl Sandberg, are expected to testify during the trial in Washington, DC.Β Β
The trial itself has been a long time coming. ItΓ’ΒΒs based on a lawsuit filed under the first Trump administration and then amended under the Biden administration, seeking solutions as dramatic as unwinding Metaβs big mergers. ItΓ’ΒΒs the third US trial attempting to bust up Big Tech in two years, following the Justice DepartmentΓ’ΒΒs successful case against GoogleΓ’ΒΒs search business and a second one pending a decision against its ad tech business. It kicks off amid a broad rethinking of how antitrust …

When Nintendo announced the Switch 2 would cost $450, my initial reaction was disappointment. Γ’ΒΒWhy does it cost so much more?Γ’ΒΒ I thought to myself. Γ’ΒΒWhy does Japan get it cheaper?Γ’ΒΒ my brain jealously added, once I learned that Nintendo would sell a Japan-only model for the equivalent of just $333.
It felt like Nintendo was about to overcharge the entire rest of the world for a modest improvement to its original $300 console, one that doesnΓ’ΒΒt come with an OLED display or anti-drift magnetic sticks. Surely it canΓ’ΒΒt cost Nintendo that much more to make, especially seeing how itΓ’ΒΒs selling the exact same hardware for so much Γ’ΒΒlessΓ’ΒΒ in Japan?Β
But while Nintendo might be charging more than IΓ’ΒΒd like to spend, particularly with its $80 games and its button that makes you pay extra, I no longer think the companyΓ’ΒΒs being distinctly unfair to gamers outside of Japan. The $450 price makes more sense when you consider whatΓ’ΒΒs happened to the dollar and the yen.Β
Since its March 3rd, 2017, debut, Nintendo basically hasnΓ’ΒΒt changed the price of the original Switch in either the US or Japan. The portable console cost $300 USD or ΓΒ₯32,378 in 2017; it costs the same $300 …
Apple last year introduced a beta version of Apple Maps on the web, which allowed users of other platforms to access the companyβs mapping service for the first time. However, Apple Maps on the web was labeled as βbetaβ β until now. And as the platform is no longer beta, it has also gained support for mobile devices.
