Personal news part 2: Monday will be my first day as the tech editor for CNN Business. Can't wait to get started soon!

Some personal news... Today is my last day at CNET. I'm beyond grateful for the ~3.5 years I've spent here and am so proud of the work I've done. I'll have more to share about what's next soon!

I Witnessed the Future of Smart Glasses at CES. And It's All About Gestures Gadgets that let you navigate interfaces by moving your hand, like bracelets and rings, were all over CES. And companies want to pair them with smart glasses.

I wrote about gestures and glasses last year at AWE, and @lisaeadicicco.bsky.social continues exploring the gestural glasses tech at this year’s CES: its a thing www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Agreed! But I also feel like there's a strong argument to be made for the PS2 and Xbox 360. I remember the PS2 being the first console I used as an entertainment system, and the 360 really made online gaming a thing.

'A Cambrian Explosion': AI's Radical Reshaping of Your Phone, Coming Soon Smartphones will get much better at meeting your needs, thanks to artificial intelligence. And that's just for starters.

I'm late to the leaks from ETNews last month about Samsung possibly getting rid of the settings menu on Galaxy phones in favor of AI. But I reported that Samsung was considering this idea earlier back in September :) www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Source: Google has canceled the Pixel Tablet 2, not the Tab 3 Google has canceled development of the Pixel Tablet 2, a source tells Android Authority. The Pixel Tablet 3 may still be coming, though.

I hope this isn't true. The Pixel Tablet actually felt like a unique take on tablets rather than just trying to be another iPad or Surface clone. Why can't Google seem to make tablets work? www.androidauthority.com/pixel-tablet...

Oura Rings Will Soon Work With Dexcom to Connect the Dots Between Activity, Food and Blood Sugar It's another sign that wearables are getting serious about tracking more than just steps and exercise.
