Pebble Watch return may be a lot sooner than expected
In January, Google released the source code for PebbleOS. At that time, the 'RePebble' project promised that new hardware would eventually be introduced. Even more exciting, the project has the support of the Pebble founder, Eric Migicovsky.
According to an email sent to everyone who signed up for updates on the 'RePebble' project, the big announcement could come tomorrow. The email states, 'Time to get excited.' For those interested, you can visit the 'RePebble' store, where a countdown clock is overlaid on a drawing of the original Pebble.
According to that clock, the announcement could come at noon EDT on Tuesday.
The original Pebble watch was born from a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2012. Designed to display notifications from smartphones, Pebble watches offered a range of downloadable apps. Notable features included an e-paper display, which provided excellent battery life that could last for several days, as well as water resistance.
While later smartwatches introduced more advanced features, such as color displays and heart-rate monitoring, Pebble maintained a loyal following due to its simple design and user-friendly interface. However, by 2016, Pebble Technology Corporation was acquired by Fitbit, leading to the end of Pebble watch production. Fitbit was subsequently purchased by Google.
Retro styles are undoubtedly making a comeback, and it will be intriguing to see what Pebble, now under Google, has developed. I'm curious to see a new Pebble smartwatch that includes all the features found in Fitbit watches and the Google Pixel 3.
Stay tuned.

Tech services are failing to take nudify AI tools offline.
Posted Jul 14, 2025 at 1:05 PM UTC Tech services are failing to take nudify AI tools offline. A report about how much money these websites are making found that 62 of the 85 websites it examined had hosting or content delivery services provided by Amazon and Cloudflare. Google's sign-on system was also used on 54 of the websites, alongside several other services and payment systems provided by mainstream tech companies. 'They should have ceased providing any and all services to AI nudifiers when it was clear that their only use case was sexual harassment,' said Indicator co-founder Alexios Mantzarlis.

Google Stock To $350?
10 July 2025, Berlin: The Google logo can be seen on a small door at the stable guard party. Photo: ... More Jens Kalaene/dpa (Photo by Jens Kalaene/picture alliance via Getty Images) Google stock has already achieved remarkable gains, growing 2x from $88 levels in early 2023 to approximately $180 at present. But what could drive the stock to double from its current levels over the coming years? The answer is rooted in AI and cloud computing– the main growth engine for Google. Google Cloud has shown strong performance, with an average revenue growth of 31% over the last three years. This positive trend is anticipated to continue, with sales expected to average over 20% annually for the next three years. The substantial demand for cloud computing services is primarily driven by the growing AI boom, as companies increasingly utilize Google Cloud to quickly implement and scale their AI projects. Additionally, if you are looking for more stability than investing in an individual stock, consider the High Quality portfolio, which has surpassed the S&P, achieving >91% returns since its inception. Also, see – Will The Rally In XRP Price Continue? Key Growth Drivers Path to Doubling For Google stock to double from current levels, the company needs consistent revenue growth of around 15-20% annually along with margin expansion. This seems attainable through: The convergence of these elements, particularly the AI revolution and growth in cloud computing, opens multiple avenues for Google to meet the performance required to double its stock price over the next 3-5 years. We anticipate Google's revenues to surpass $500 billion within the next three years, with earnings likely to nearly double due to improved profitability. Currently, GOOG stock trades around $180, pricing it at roughly 20 times its trailing earnings. This is considerably lower than some of its competitors, with Amazon trading at 36 times and Microsoft at 39 times earnings. Given Google's deep integration of AI and its enhancing profitability, we foresee an upward revision in its valuation multiple. Even if the stock holds a similar valuation, it could exceed $300 within the next three to four years. If investors assign a higher multiple, it would signify more than a twofold increase from current levels. Also see – Alphabet's Valuation Ratios Comparison. Google's leading position in search, its dominance in digital advertising, and its expanding presence in cloud computing and AI infrastructure offer multiple levers for long-term value creation. This revaluation, supported by accelerating growth in high-margin segments like Google Cloud and YouTube, underpins the potential for the stock to double as markets reassess Alphabet's earnings potential in an AI-driven economy. Alphabet's core advertising operations, combined with strategic investments in AI, cloud services, and autonomous technologies, create a well-diversified and resilient growth engine. If these sectors maintain their current trajectory, the stock could see significant upside, driven by both revenue growth and improving operating leverage. Risk Considerations While Google's outlook is promising, several variables could hinder its stock from doubling. Firstly, escalating competition in critical sectors presents a threat. In cloud computing, Google Cloud faces stiff competition from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, which could pressure its margins and growth rates. Also see – MSFT Stock To $1,000? Likewise, in the rapidly advancing AI sector, rivals such as OpenAI (with ChatGPT) and Perplexity are challenging Google's dominance in search through AI-driven methods. Secondly, regulatory scrutiny and antitrust actions are considerable concerns. Google is already confronting legal challenges regarding its market dominance in online search and digital advertising. Ongoing probes, including a recent preliminary investigation into its collaboration with underscore a growing regulatory interest in potential anti-competitive behavior, particularly in the emerging AI ecosystem. These developments could restrict expansion, result in hefty fines, or even compel business restructuring. Related – Google's $1 Trillion Lawsuit Thirdly, Google's substantial AI capital expenditures carry execution risks. The company plans to invest around $75 billion in technical infrastructure in 2025 to bolster AI and business growth. If these significant investments do not yield anticipated returns or take excessively long to materialize, investor sentiment may turn unfavorable. Finally, macroeconomic factors could influence Google's performance. Economic recessions could curtail advertising investments across its search and YouTube platforms, as well as enterprise cloud spending. For more details, see – Buy or Sell GOOG Stock? Moreover, high interest rates could render growth stocks like Google less attractive than fixed-income options, potentially dampening investor enthusiasm. Investors contemplating Google stock should carefully evaluate these potential risks. Now, we apply a risk assessment framework while building the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio which, comprising 30 stocks, has a strong record of comfortably outperforming the S&P 500 over the past four years. Why is that? As a collective group, HQ Portfolio stocks have delivered superior returns with reduced risk compared to the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster experience as shown in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

First look at Gemini Space: Google's Now Bar-like upgrade to Pixel's At a Glance (APK teardown)
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini Space is an upcoming upgrade to the Pixel's At a Glance experience. It's seemingly inspired by Samsung's Now bar and Now Brief, which show contextual cards on the lock screen and other places. In its current state, Gemini Space displays sports and birthday cards, but finance and Daily Hub features are expected in the future. We've previously spotted Google working on a feature called Gemini Space for Pixel devices. Based on the handful of clues we could spot, we speculated that it could be Google's version of Samsung's Now Bar and Now Brief features. Now, we've managed to activate Gemini Space, giving you the first look at what is indeed a Now Bar-inspired upgrade to Pixel's At a Glance experience. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Thanks to the latest Android Canary build, we could activate Gemini Space on a Pixel 9, showing us a sports card and a birthday wish for an upcoming birthday. Gemini Space cards will also show up on the lock screen. You can see the cards in action when using a large clock and a small clock style in these screenshots: The cards also appear on the Always On Display, as you can see in these photos: Gemini Space should be able to show Sports, Finance, and the newly spotted Daily Hub cards, but we haven't gotten Finance and Daily Hub to work just yet. The feature is still a work in progress, and we expect its functionality to grow and mature as it gets closer to public release. Google hasn't yet announced the feature, so we don't know when it's coming either. We'll keep you updated when we learn more. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
