Google’s new Googlebook laptop line is now in the hands of reviewers, and the early verdict is messier than the September 21 preorder launch suggested. Hands-on coverage from CNET, Chrome Unboxed and 9to5Google confirms the five-model lineup is real, but pricing for two of the five devices, the Dell XPS Googlebook and the Lenovo Googlebook…
John GBA Lite quietly became one of the most-installed Game Boy Advance emulators on Android, and most of that traffic comes from one search: people trying to get old Pokémon cartridges running on a phone. The app sits at version 4.15 on Google Play as of late September 2026, last updated July 26, 2026, and…
Today, I’m talking with Mark Gurman, who is the world’s best-sourced Apple reporter — both as Bloomberg’s chief Apple correspondent and the host of the upcoming podcast Power On. Earlier this month, Apple hosted its annual iPhone hardware event, virtually every detail of which was reported ahead of time by Mark. But this event was…
Alibaba’s Qwen team open-sourced Qwen-Image-2.1 on September 20, 2026, and the release is forcing a rethink of what a 7-billion-parameter model can do in image generation. The model unifies text-to-image generation and image editing into a single system, ships with a real alpha channel for transparent images, and accepts up to 10 reference images in…

Apple’s next-generation chip just did something no iPhone silicon has done before: run a 27-billion-parameter language model, entirely on-device, at double the speed of last year’s flagship. The demonstration, first reported by Wccftech on September 20, 2026, shows an iPhone 18 Pro powered by the new A20 Pro chip generating tokens from a 27B-parameter model…
NetEase pushed MuMu Player to version 6.0 on July 7, 2026, and the headline feature is simple to state and hard for rivals to match fast: it is currently the only mainstream PC Android emulator running an Android 15 base image. Tencent’s GameLoop, meanwhile, keeps shipping quieter but steadier updates, with requirement pages and setup…
A full PS2 library in raw ISO format eats more than 3TB. Convert the same discs to CHD and that number drops by roughly half, according to compression data documented across current emulator guides. If your emulator folder is bloating your SSD and you’re tired of juggling BIN/CUE pairs, GDI folders, and oversized ISOs, chdman…
A capture card decision used to be simple: buy whatever Elgato sold and move on. That stopped being true once PS5 and Xbox Series X started shipping 4K120 output with variable refresh rate, and once AVerMedia and Razer built cards aimed squarely at that gap. In September 2026, three products define the console and PC…
Atom’s official archive notice from GitHub has been up since December 2022, but the Atom code editor never really died. A community fork called Pulsar picked up the codebase, kept shipping monthly releases, and by August 2026 had pushed its stable build to version 1.132.1.
