Google’s pre-I/O event used to feel like a warmup act, however, that idea is now long gone as that hasn’t been the case this year. The Android Show: I/O Edition 2026 packed in a brand-new laptop category, a much smarter Android, a long-overdue cross-platform sharing push, and a security overhaul that finally goes after banking scams. Here’s everything that landed today, with links to our deeper coverage where we have it.Googlebook is here, and it’s Google’s biggest swing in over a decadeGoogle officially unveiled Googlebook, a new laptop category built from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence. Google is positioning…

Almost exactly 15 years since Google introduced Chromebooks and ChromeOS—which ushered a wave of cheap, functional, web-based laptops that would come to dominate the US education market—the company has announced a new laptop platform called Googlebook. It’s built around artificial intelligence and Android, and while it isn’t replacing Chromebooks, it could give the company a more meaningful foothold in the premium computer market.Google announced the platform on The Android Show on YouTube, where it also detailed new features coming in Android 17 and Gemini Intelligence (you can read more about that here). Google is purposefully not sharing the operating system’s…

“At first I thought that I should look for pizza places nearby,” explained the Reddit user. “But then I realized that Rockstar North is in Scotland(close enough to England), which means they prefer their tea more than they prefer their pizza….so surely they would have a much busier traffic around tea places, and sure enough. I am right.” They then ended their post with “Thoughts?” Reaction to the post, which has over 1.5k upvotes as of Tuesday, has been mostly people replying with a form of “Holy crap, fans are getting desperate.” But one user replied and wondered if this…

Phones can adopt bigger batteries and better cameras, but laptops are still a thing. And in some months time, millions of users across the globe will have one more computer to consider: the just-announced Googlebook. It’s been 15 years since the start of the Chromebook era. Google says 2026 is the right time to revolutionize the genre again and move from the standard OS (operating system) to an intelligence system (I guess this one will be called IS).”We see an opportunity to rethink laptops again”, Google says.The company promises big things, mainly: the possibility to seamlessly hook up your Android…

The odds that the Trump family will launch a full-fledged prediction market product this year just plummeted.Last year, the Trump Media and Technology Group announced Truth Predict, a partnership with the cryptocurrency company Crypto.com. The initial announcement touted Truth Predict as a “new product” that would allow Truth Social users to make trades on sports, inflation, elections, and more through an “embedded” prediction market service. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets—with Truth Predict, we’re democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” then-CEO Devin Nunes…

One does not simply walk into a boss fight with The Compiler in Cryo Archive. Marathon‘s end-game raid map requires multiple successful runs of collecting batteries, key cards, and hacking vaults before even attempting the final encounter. And players have to do all of this while also fighting off other human teams. It is a whole, very cool, very tense ordeal. So you can imagine how much it would suck to successfully complete it only to get killed by a random player exploiting an out-of-bounds trick to cause tragedy and chaos. Over the weekend, a streamer who goes by NAPainter loaded…

Secure messaging has long existed on both Android and iPhone, but conversations between the two platforms remained unprotected. This finally changes, as both Google and Apple start adopting encryption from May 11.End-to-end encryption for RCS messaging is hereBoth Apple and Android now support the updated RCS standard with end-to-end encryption. This move aims to finally retire legacy SMS, creating a private, secure way to communicate between devices. Although iMessage already uses end-to-end encryption and Google Messages supports it for RCS chats, cross-platform messages between Android phones and iPhones previously lacked this level of privacy. RCS chats are becoming encrypted. | Image…

Now that more than 100 passengers aboard a hantavirus-stricken luxury cruise ship have been evacuated, with 18 Americans in biocontainment units in Nebraska and Georgia, health officials around the world are working to monitor more than two dozen individuals who left the cruise and anyone with whom they might have come in close contact.So far, all of the 11 reported hantavirus cases are among passengers or crew on the ship, the World Health Organization’s director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference in Madrid on Tuesday. That includes three deaths resulting from the virus.Typically, hantaviruses are spread when contaminated…
