First announced back in 2017, then delayed and delayed again thanks to the pandemic, The Bob’s Burgers Movie—an animated musical based on the long-running Fox series created by Loren Bouchard—is almost in theaters. Ahead of the movie’s May 27 debut, io9 attended a press conference featuring its cast and crew.
Good news for YouTube Music listeners! A compatible app for Wear OS is finally available so that you can take your playlists with you on the go.
Acer just launched many new products today, but a few caught our attention more than others. Acer is making a big push in the glasses-free 3D displays with two products: the Helios 300 Spatial Labs Edition ($3,400) and the Spatial Labs View / View Pro portable monitors.
As their name suggests, both are powered by Acer’s Spatial Labs technology and software we previously reviewed. There are workstation-type use cases that we described, and these remain valid.
However, the Helios 300 Spatial Labs Edition is a gaming laptop. It will be fascinating to see what kind of titles Acer will get in the long run and whether the brand can ramp up developer support for its 3D technology.
So far, 50 games are compatible with Spatial Labs, including God of War, The Surge 2, and Forza Horizon 5. Playing RTS games on such a display would be fantastic, but it could be true for many different game types.
The Helios 300 Spatial Labs Edition can be configured with potent components, such as the GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB of RAM, a Core i9-12900H CPU, and 2TB of SSD storage. This laptop could also serve as a good 15.6” / 6.6 Lbs graphics workstation with specifications like this.
If you need something lighter (3.7 Lbs), check out the new 14-inch Acer Predator Triton 300 SE (2022, $1,600+). It comes with the same Core i9-12900H (+32GB RAM), but the graphics option stops at the GeForce RTX 3060 to accommodate the thermal dissipation capacity of the smaller chassis.
Compared to the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE 2021 we reviewed, the 90 Hz OLED display option is inspiring for Creative users and movie lovers. Hardcore gamers might prefer the 165Hz LCD panel to reach the highest in-game framerates. There’s also a 16-inch version coming in the last quarter of 2022.
The Spatial Labs View and Spatial Labs View Pro 15.6” monitors bring this technology to users who aren’t using an Acer laptop.
Previously, only Spatial Labs edition laptops featured this glassless 3D technology, but now you can use it with your existing workstation, which might be even faster than Acer’s mobile workstations. For reference, the company recommends having at least a GeForce RTX 2080+ and a fast CPU (Core i7+)
Professionals might have an easier time justifying the purchase of these monitors than gamers, especially since the price hasn’t been revealed yet. Stay tuned!

Google’s Russian division submitted a notice of intention to declare bankruptcy after officials seized its bank account. That “has made it untenable for our Russia office to function, including employing and paying Russia-based employees, paying suppliers and vendors, and meeting other financial obligations,” a Google spokesperson told Reuters.
Like many other companies, Google suspended most of its commercial activities in Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine in February. Despite that and the bankruptcy filing, it will continue to provide Russians with access to free services such as Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps and Android for the time being.
In May last year, Russia fined Google around $82,000 for failing to delete thousands of pieces of content it deemed to be illegal. Authorities then fined the company approximately $98 million in December for similar reasons. That was estimated to be around 5.7 percent of Google’s 2021 turnover in Russia.
In recent months, telecoms regulator Roskomnadzor has been pressuring YouTube to lift restrictions on access to Russian media. A Russian TV channel reported last month that bailiffs seized around 1 billion rubles (approximately $15 million) from Google after it declined to restore the station’s access to its YouTube account.
While Russia has blocked many other platforms and services, including Google News, it doesn’t currently have plans to prevent users in the country from accessing YouTube. It said this week that residents would likely suffer as a result of such a move. Reutersreported that the streaming platform has around 90 million Russian users.
Russia’s minister for digital development also said that, despite testing its own, closed-off version of the internet, the country plans to stay connected to the global network.
