I don't know about you, but I love options. Personally, I think Android's notification system is easy to use — providing access to new notification with a swipe down from the top of the screen.

The "Discover" tab in the latest version of the Google Home app has a new tip that says multiple users are now supported. Google Home uses a built-in speaker and microphone combo to give users access to smart search, a personal assistant, and smart home controls.

Last week, a new Kickstarter campaign arrived for a completely untethered, augmented reality headset for under $300 called Okularion.

Well, that and it's an augmented reality headset as well.

These headlining features get the most press, but there's one unsung hero that has the potential to make the biggest difference when it comes to real-world performance: RAM, or random-access memory.

Google's new cross-platform video chat app, Duo, is finally making its debut today, following a long waiting period that began in late May.

I fry foods a lot. A LOT. We're talking wings by the dozen here. As a result, I go through a ton of frying oil. Now, frying oil isn't the most expensive ingredient out there, but it adds up when you fry regularly.
