Gemini on Google TVs has been a major upgrade over the now-retired Google Assistant, allowing users to ask Gemini more complex natural-language commands that suit the TV platform well. As an example, you could ask Gemini about the new medical drama that everyone has been talking about, or even find something to watch with two preferred categories (comedies and dramas, as an example) in mind. With that context aside, Google shared at CES 2026 that it is upgrading Gemini to be more useful for TVs and expanding it to more platforms.

Google Maps is one of the few apps that has over 10 billion downloads on the Google Play Store.

Garmin makes some of the best smartwatches on the market, especially if you're focused on fitness tracking. Unlike other fitness-focused brands (looking at you, Oura), Garmin doesn't charge a subscription to use its devices. But that's (sort of) changing now. Garmin has announced a new Connect+ premium plan that introduces AI-powered features, advanced dashboards, and more, to its existing Connect app.

Google's newest Gemini feature ties directly into Google Maps. It gives users the ability to ask contextual questions about specific places, such as "Does this store carry milk?"

As a former sales and marketing guy, I am more than familiar with spreadsheets as a not-so-good tool for managing the avalanche of data generated by the front office, even before the big data craze. Name a department or function in business and it's easy to find people using spreadsheets to manage it. Consider this list: financial reporting, revenue management, professional services automation, human capital management, compensation management, contract management, order fulfillment, CPQ, inventory management, supplier management -- and more.

It’s that time of year again. When students start their college journeys, or return for another academic year. And the last thing any student wants to be worrying about is cyber security. Here’s our top tips, so you can check them off your list and get on to the good stuff this semester.

Lock that computer - and your phone.

Have you secured your devices, both physically and digitally? Most devices come with an auto-lock feature, requiring that you re-enter your password or pin code (avoid birthdays or other personal information). Also physically lock down your computer by investing in a cable lock, which allows you to secure it to a desk, reducing the chances of theft.

Avoid sharing too much.

Keeping your friends updated and sharing memories via social media may seem like second nature these days. But what you share could tell someone too much - such as indicating when you’re not at home, making you a target for burglary. Be sure you’ve set the appropriate privacy settings on your accounts, and be mindful of the data points you share.

Secure your email.

Your email account will be the hub of your college experience. Think of all the sites and services you use that email address for, and the network you’ll build with it. Never share your email password with anyone - and we mean anyone, including close friends. Use a unique password, and if it’s available, enable multifactor authentication for your email account.

Generate & protect your passwords.

Speaking of passwords, ensure that all of your passwords are strong, unique, and known only to you, by using a password manager like LastPass. LastPass helps centralize the management of your passwords to one easy-to-use vault. It will also help you generate a mean-looking password when signing up for a new account. It’s free - and you’ll be surprised how many accounts you’ll accumulate over the years, so start now.

Keep software up to date.

Shutting down your browsers, and your computer itself, will initiate most automatic updates for your computer. But those annoying pop ups and messages from your task bar? We recommend responding to them when they appear. The updates include important fixes and improvements - sometimes addressing serious security issues, so don’t put off responding to them.

Limit your activities on open WiFi.

Free WiFi is your lifeblood in college. Even if your campus’ network itself may be password-protected, you never know who’s on the network with you. Limit your access to sensitive accounts (such as banking) when you’re on these networks. Consider using a VPN when you’re using open WiFi as well, which will allow you to surf anonymously and lock down your connection.

Prepare for loss.

Although we’re all about being proactive and managing risk, sometimes bad things happen. The best thing you can do is prepare for that loss - of your computer, your smartphone, any of your gadgets. Backup your documents and photos on a regular basis. Look into installing software that lets you remotely access your computer or phone, so you can wipe it if needed. Also look into software that lets you track your lost device, so you have a greater chance of recovering it.

To recap what we’ve covered, here’s your full checklist:

• Set your computer to auto-lock.
• Set your smartphone’s pin code.
• Invest in a cable lock.
• Err on the side of caution when sharing online.
• Set appropriate privacy options, so you’re only sharing with friends.
• Use a strong password for your email account.
• Don’t share your email login with anyone.
• Look into security features available for your email account.
• Use a password manager like LastPass to manage your accounts.
• Generate unique passwords to avoid password reuse.
• Respond to all prompts to update your software.
• Restart your computer occasionally to ensure updates are completed.
• Use a VPN if you need to access personal accounts on open WiFi.
• Be mindful of the connection you’re using and what you’re doing on that connection.
• Install tracking software on your computer and smartphone.
• Enable remote wiping of your device, if possible.
• Back up everything to an external hard drive, regularly.

If you’re watching live TV, a commercial break is a great time to take care of brief tasks. Once the ads start, you’ve got a couple of minutes to shoot off an email, take out the trash or (let’s be honest here) grab another beer and some chips. But you always run the risk of taking too long and missing bits of your favorite show. For those times, Commercial Break has your back.

Commercial Break syncs with the TV broadcasts and sends you a push notification when the commercials are ending and your program is coming back on. You just let the app know what you’re watching and it does the rest.

Commercial Break’s beta launch netted the startup a lot of feedback and topping the list were the desire for an Android version of the app and more functionality for sports and live events. Not only is Commercial Break out now for Android, its new “Live Events” feature lets you follow multiple upcoming live broadcasts (awards shows and such as well as sports) and get push notifications before they start and when they’re returning from commercials. The Commercial Break app is now available on both Google Play and the iTunes store and it supports the majority of nationally televised pro and college football games, as well as the upcoming MLB playoffs.

The full press release follows below:

Commercial Break Launches ‘Live Events’ to Help
Sports Fans Break Free from Commercials

New feature lets sports fans “follow” events in advance for automatic
alerts when commercial breaks end; available for majority of nationally
televised football and baseball games this season.

NEW YORK, NY (PR WEB), SEPTEMBER 9, 2013 – Commercial Break, the app that alerts
viewers in real time the moment their TV program returns from commercials, today announces
the release of its “Live Events” feature, enabling iOS and Android users to “follow” an upcoming
event in advance and receive a reminder before it starts. Commercial Break will automatically
monitor the event for commercial breaks and stop when the event is over.
Commercial Break, which will support the majority of nationally televised NFL, MLB and NCAA
Football games in the 2013/2014 season (in accordance with network blackout rules), today also
announces its expansion to the Android™ operating system. The mobile app previously launched
a public beta for the iPhone ® in July.
Commercial Break’s “Live Events” feature enables sports fans to get instant alerts every time a
game that they are following returns from commercials. Fans who watch multiple games
simultaneously can therefore know when the action on another channel comes back from
commercials, so they don’t miss any critical moments from their favorite team or action­packed
game.
“Ideally, every fan would have a wall of TVs tuned in to every game,” said Commercial Break
Co­Founder and CEO Haim Kairy. “But since that is not a reality for most people, Commercial
Break helps sports fans get the most out of their cable package by allowing them to spend less
time watching commercials and more time watching premium live action.”
In addition to iOS, Commercial Break is now available for Android free of charge. Commercial
Break’s unique algorithms identify the end of commercial breaks by analyzing dozens of cues
from audio and video signals, 40 times per second, through Digital Signal Processing (DSP).

About Commercial Break
Developed by Israeli startup veterans Haim Kairy and Eli Ben­David, the Commercial Break
mobile app delivers automatic, real­time alerts the moment a TV program comes back from
commercials. The app is currently available free of charge on Apple’s App Store and Google
