Google seems to be working on bringing Wallet back in some form after it made the app part of Google Pay (via Android Police).

Phoenix Suns guard Mikal Bridges made his case during the 2021-22 NBA campaign as to why he’s more than deserving of winning this season’s Defensive Player of the Year award.

Americans across the country are feeling the cost of war as they head to the gas pumps. Gas prices haven’t yet reached record highs (when adjusted for inflation), but they are at levels not seen since 2008 as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensuing sanctions. On Tuesday, President Biden announced the ban on Russian energy imports — and warned about the ripple effects for regular Americans.

Google has announced a new, free tier of its Workspace suite, Workspace Essentials Starter. Basically, it lets workers use tools like Google Docs, Sheets, Chat, etc. with their co-workers without requiring them to switch over to Gmail if they’re already using something like Exchange or Zoho.

Last week, the International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that Google infringed on five patents held by Sonos, related to creating and controlling speaker groups. The ITC entered an order that would have restricted the importation and sale of a variety of the company’s Nest smart speakers.  Sonos, as one might expect, declared it a total victory because its patents were affirmed as valid, and the ITC agreed that Google had stolen its technology for use in its own products. The company was… Source link
