News!

This is the news from the past week!

- Google is making the slowly dying webstore more secure, "clean it up", and change the direction it is going (hopefully out of the grave). This was said over discord conversations and at CDS.

- Ars Technica wrote an article outlining the plethora of features absent from Windows 11 after being out for 2 months. Emoji's did come recently, but without 3d like promised. They are unique looking emoji's, just not quite as promised. Android Apps, the new Windows Media Player, and more are still missing.

- Realme seems to be making a phone with a suspiciously similar design to Google & Huaweii's Nexus 6p collaboration. It has a very similar, if not the same, camera visor design.

- Google leaks show a Pixel 6a housing the same Sony sensor found on every Pixel a phone released so far. It seems odd considering there recent switch to a larger Samsung sensor for the Pixel 6, so you'll have to keep your eye out to see if this is going to be the same at launch.

- A new Twitter CEO has risen to power as the previous CEO stepped down.

- New Google Search AR models have been added for you to view. These new buildings are: the Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, Parthenon, and Tokyo Skytree.

- Vivo's Origion OS next version is arriving and came with a SUPER cool teaser video shot in times square.

- Many Kindles have a broken app store due to the Amazon app store not working in Android 12 with the update.

- Google is testing moving the search bar on Google for Android to the bottom of the screen so that it is easier to reach.

- EOS M camera are no more as the EOS R7 is set to replace the entire lineup and merge the EOS M to the EOS R under the EOS R name along with a possible price drop.

- The next iPhone SE is due to release in 2022.

- Google's Project Starline is continuing to advance following its introduction at Google IO. New images show what the camera's output is when creating the 3d models for the 3d video call device. It isn't perfect with adapted hair colour (duller) and pixelation in places, but it is an advancement in brand-new technology to eventually make video calls feel like in person.

- Android's end of the year update is shown on Google's blog (not necessarily the pixel feature drop) with the official introduction of Android Car Keys for BMW's, New Widgets for apps and even Google Books which is recieving it's first widget, Family Bell (a notification/reminder system for families to send messages across speakers and phones), and also an Android 11 feature is rolling out to older Android versions (depending on phone company) so that Nexus's and other old phones have the control over permissions.

- Chrome OS version 96 is rolling out bringing features like, chrome os camera scan tab for the increased number of chrome os tablets being released, nearby share inside apps from the play store, and more small changes!

- Google Pixel Watch rumours are back after a few months lull.

That is all this week! See you all next week and thanks for reading, watching and liking!
