Samsung’s Samsung XR smart glasses are starting to look like a pair, not a single product. A new leak from GalaxyClub points to two versions of “Galaxy Glasses,” listed as SM-O200P and SM-O200J. That matters because a model split can change what you actually end up buying. It can also decide which version lands in your country first. For now, the leak doesn’t spell out what separates the two. A few spec crumbs do show up. The listing mentions a 12MP camera with autofocus, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and no built-in cellular connection. One variant, SM-O200P, is also said to…

Open a browser, click a link, and the current page is replaced by the next one. Despite decades of progress in web technologies, this interaction model has remained largely intact. Inside a browser tab, user interaction is still fundamentally sequential. This structure dates back to the earliest days of the web. Browsers were designed to render and replace documents, not to manage multiple active tasks simultaneously. While desktop operating systems evolved to support multitasking through concurrent windows and processes, browsers retained a document-centric model. As web applications became more complex, developers adapted within those constraints. Single-page applications reduced reloads, and…

Remember the “more personal Siri” ad that Apple pulled? Yeah, the same one where you could just say “which person I met at XYZ cafe two weeks ago” and it answered. And pulled a whole bunch of other futuristic tricks because it was armed with deep knowledge of your “iPhone life,” digging everywhere from your mail and messages to location and photos. Well, those plans still haven’t materialized.  But if you’ve been waiting for a similar convenience on Google’s side of the ecosystem, the future has just arrived. Today, Google has announced Personal Intelligence. Think of it as a more…
