Google Glass wait-list opens up
Posted in: Today's ChiliGoogle has thrown open the waiting list for Glass, inviting would-be wearables users to stake a place in line for when the next batch of headsets are available. “We’re expanding the Explorer Program little by little,” Google said of the new queue, “and experimenting with different ways of bringing new Explorers into the program.” However, […]
Google has fully baked Google Drive integration into Gmail, aiming to circumvent traditional attachment downloads by saving them straight to its chunk of cloud storage. The functionality, Google says, effectively bypasses the usual download/upload routine of receiving email attachments and then storing them to the cloud, with a one-click shuttling from email to Drive and […]
It hasn’t been long since Google released its latest flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5. The device has been very well received, early reviews have sung its praises and a lot of customers have rushed to pick up a Nexus 5. The Play Store no longer has the Nexus 5 16GB black model in stock now, the product page reads that there isn’t any inventory available and that customers should check back soon. Google hasn’t said when this particular model is going to be back in stock.
While other models remain in stock, shipping times have started to slip. The Nexus 5 16GB white model now takes between four to five weeks to ship, whereas the 32GB black takes three to four weeks and the 32GB white model ships in two to three weeks. So if you haven’t purchased a Nexus 5 directly from Google as yet, it will take quite a lot of time for your unit to be shipped provided that you put in your order today. It remains to be seen if shipping times slip any further as the holiday season approaches, hopefully Google will have enough inventory to improve shipping times. If you really want a Nexus 5 and don’t mind purchasing it from a carrier, T-Mobile is currently taking pre-orders for the smartphone.

Google has just announced a bunch of new music features for Google Glass, where saying the words “Okay Glass, listen to…” would enable one to be able to access your tunes from Google Play Music directly. This would also include the entire library of songs that has been made available under All Access. Such a voice command will be made available to the masses in the weeks to come, and there will be moments where you will also say, “Okay Google, what song is this?” for the Sound Search feature to get to work as it analyzes a song playing within earshot, providing you with the name as well as artist alongside an image of the CD cover, if any.
Google will also be offering a set of stereo earbuds which is estimated to retail for approximately $85 thereabouts. To make it a whole lot more desirable, Google will also include five interchangeable color caps, allowing you to customize your earbuds depending on your mood. The whole idea of listening to your favorite tunes via Google Glass would mean that you no longer need to take a glance downwards at your smartphone while you enjoy your music, although it might take some getting used to seeing and hearing people talk to themselves, or so that is what it looks like with Google Glass.

We’ve seen recent updates to Google Chrome that allow its users to know which YouTube-related tab is making sounds in the background through a small “Play” icon positioned in between the website’s icon and the words of the YouTube video. It seems as though Google isn’t stopping there as a new Chrome beta was released on Monday and it now allows you to pinpoint which tab is playing audio, regardless if it’s a YouTube video or not.
