With the last day of summer approaching quickly, Google’s promise to release Allo   within the “Summer” is running out of hours. According to  Evan Blass  (and some dude on Google+), Google may just sneak it in this week, possibly on September 21, as they hangout in France’s Montélimar, a city known for Nougat.  That’s really all we know at this time, but that’s OK since we all know what Allo is. After an  unveiling at Google I/O back in May , we have worn our nails down from all the impatient tapping that has gone on as the summer has. We want Allo! Why? I don’t know. We have 863 messaging apps already, but now that Hangouts has been shoved  into the copier room of the business office , we are ready for something new and fresh. We want Google built into our conversations, I think. We want fun stickers! Right? We want…our phone number attached to Google! Wait. Ummm, we just want an app that isn’t Hangouts. Yeah, that’s it.

AirPods will forever change the way you use headphones. Whenever you pull your AirPods out of the charging case, they instantly turn on and connect to your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. Audio automatically plays as soon as you put them in your ears and pauses when you take them out. To adjust the volume, change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just double-tap to activate Siri. Driven by the custom Apple W1 chip, AirPods use optical sensors and a motion accelerometer to detect when they’re in your ears. Whether you’re using both AirPods or just one, the W1 chip automatically routes the audio and engages the microphone. And when you’re on a call or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer works with beamforming microphones to filter out background noise and focus on the sound of your voice. Because the ultralow-power W1 chip manages battery life so well, AirPods deliver an industry-leading 5 hours of listening time on one charge. And they’re mad...
