The things you are simply shocked to see in retail. Today, I drove my daughter to San Diego’s Fashion Valley Mall, which is increasingly becoming a pricey, high-end destination in the likeness of some Los Angeles shopping meccas.
She had ordered contacts and eyeglasses from Warby Parker; the former needed to be checked and fitted because of astigmatic correction limitations. What did I see used for point of sale? Google Pixelbook Go. Yeah, a Chromebook! One that released in 2019!
You would expect that a trendy operation like Warby Parker would be all-Apple, all the way. But no! I got to say that Chrome0S is way cooler choice. What chutzpa! Let me tell you where I am buying my next pair of eyeglasses.
I miss my Chromebook days, particularly the Pixel LS era. Hey, Google, with Gemini and all the artificial intelligence fuss, a homegrown, souped up ChromeOS laptop makes all the more sense. We need one now, more than ever. Why do you deny your loyal fanbase of users? Sigh.
I used Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to shoot the Featured Image—and with the right Google lifestyle ecosystem the smartphone shooter could have been some Pixel instead.

But also I understand that the term refers to a female erogenous zone that some people will search for. Would “The G-Spot” lead them here? While presumably not, wouldn’t it be funny if…
