Google’s clever Magic Eraser tool debuted on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. It’s an editing feature that’s designed to remove people or objects you don’t want in the background of your photos. Considering that it’s dead simple to use, the results are okay, but it’s definitely not putting Adobe out of business anytime soon.

Surprise, Google’s got a new app. OK, you’re probably not all that surprised.

Yes, 16, as the White Sox and Guardians are playing a doubleheader and that leaves us with nine being offered in Yahoo’s contests. As such, I can focus on those evening games for this DFS slate. It’s easier to get a lineup in early on the weekends for most,… Source link

The beautiful thing about track and field is that your one true challenger is the clock or measuring tape. But in the case of Sydney McLaughlin, the clock really is her only challenger. The 22-year-old American lined up for the medal race in the women’s 400 meter hurdles on Friday night at the World Athletics Championships with the second- and third-fastest women in history also running — and she left them in her wake.
