The wait for O (and the once-in-a-lifetime total eclipse) has nearly come to an end. Here’s how to watch the livestream and what to expect.
Google has launched a new website in celebration of two momentous occasions: one being the total solar eclipse set to happen on August 21 in the US, two being the launch of Android O. The reason why? They’ ll happening nearly simultaneously. new website Android O
Rumors pointed to an August 21 release of Android O and this new website, which is a temporary redirect from “android.com/o”, confirms it. But not only do we know the final date, we also know the time of launch. Rumors pointed
