Over the weekend, Google’s Gboard for iOS began rolling out a handy tool for creating GIFs right from the keyboard. Based on Motion Stills, users can create animations with a variety of effects, with quick access to them in the future. Gboard was last updated in December with the GIF creation features likely rolling out as part of a server-side update this weekend (as spotted by The Verge). The keyboard’s suggestions row features a new icon that launches a camera preview to record your GIF....

Positioned as a successor to the Gionee S5.5 and S5.1 smartphones launched in 2014, the handset is just 5.5mm thick and has an aluminum magnesium alloy unibody design with Gorilla glass 3 on the front and rear. The naming has been changed this, because the previous models carried in their name the thinness in millimeters, which hasn’t happened this time. The smartphone features Mediatek’s new 64-but 1.7Ghz octa core processor, comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage....

GLOW season 3 made a big leap to Las Vegas but here is the true story of the real-life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling in Sin City. The first two seasons of Netflix’s critically-acclaimed series about women’s professional wrestling in the 1980s were based in Los Angeles. Actresses Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie) and Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin) were among over a dozen women aspiring for a jumpstart to their acting careers but instead found themselves as part of the first all-women pro-wrestling league....

God of War has always been a series that feels like it would do incredibly well in another entertainment medium, and after the success of Netflix’s The Witcher, why not a television show for Kratos? God of War director Cory Barlog seems to think it’s a good idea. With the success of the video game franchise and the world looking for a show to fill that Game of Thrones hole, God of War could do very well....

Good Boys focuses too much on the bawdy humor of this raunchy comedy starring tweens, often to the detriment of the characters and emotional beats. Raunchy teen comedies that mine sex for jokes have been around for decades, often reinvented for each generation’s specific sense of humor. With Good Boys, director Gene Stupnitsky reinvents the comedy genre once again, this time using tween boys, who are on the cusp of becoming full-blown teenagers....

Google Discontinues Drive App for Mac and PC Google made the announcement in a blog post promoting the new Drive File Stream app, which provides on demand access to files similar to OneDrive On Demand. Google notes that users of the older drive backup service will begin to receive notifications in October about its discontinuation: In October, Drive for Mac/PC users may start seeing messages in the product notifying them that Drive for Mac/PC is going away....

The Google game controller pictures that made the rounds around social media a few days ago are not real designs, but rather a mock-up based on a patent filing that Google made. The patent filing likely included samples of design choices simply to help illustrate what Google’s plans for the controller are, rather than an indication of what the finished product will look like when it ships. Reports first surfaced that Google was looking to take a run at the console market last summer, when it was revealed that the company was looking to develop a streaming device....

Ang Lee’s ambitious, dual Will Smith-billed production Gemini Man can very easily be viewed as a test run for the scale at which filmmakers can utilize digital technology. The film, which is now available on home video (4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/Digital), is an espionage thriller that follows the exploits of a retired hitman (Smith). Screen Rant recently had the opportunity to speak with the film’s technical supervisor, Ben Gervais, about the ramifications of these developing technologies in terms of filmmaking and exhibition....

Gen.video is a relative newcomer to the influencer marketing industry, but its parent company—Expo Communications—has nearly twenty years experience at the intersection of marketing, user-generated content, and e-commerce. The only thing missing from the equation was influencers, but you could forgive them for not diving into that when they launched. Expo Communications pre-dates influencer marketing by about a decade. And it’s a testament to the company that, rather than resting on its already impressive achievements, it recognized an opportunity to serve a new niche....

The iPhone 4 case took another ugly turn yesterday when the search warrant + affidavit (PDF) used to gain access to (the finder) Brian Hogan’s home was (mistakenly?) released. It showed that Apple got the authorities involved after Hogan’s roommate, Katherine Martinson, contacted Apple to say her roomate was the one with the iPhone. She wanted to absolve herself of any wrongdoing because her computer was used to try to restore the wiped iPhone 4....

Gmail for iOS has today been refreshed to support the 2018 iPad Pros and their bezel-light, rounded displays. The 2018 iPad Pro launched back in November with a new form factor including an 11-inch option as well as a 12.9-inch offering, both with minimal bezels and no Home button. As is often the case, Google was a bit slow on updating its apps for the new display and has just today updated Gmail for iOS for the new screens....

Even after almost thirty years, Martin Scorsese’s classic, Goodfellas, remains one of the most rewatchable films ever. The goal of the film was to showcase the true reality of the mafia life, where these guys aren’t the heroes they’ve been portrayed like in the past. The story of Henry Hill, a former gangster turned informant, gave viewers an unflinching look at how dangerous this life can be, despite them looking like kings....

AAPL stock has been in the news a lot lately, whether it comes to Warren Buffett’s opinion on buy-backs, the issue of preferred stock, or even its teetering market cap, but a closer look at the company’s NASDAQ fluctuation over the last year oddly shows a parallel to GOOG. The graph above illustrates both Apple and Google’s highs and lows since September 2012, and, for the most part, they clearly mirror each other....

Google is promising to release more than 10 timed-exclusive games for Stadia, the company’s beleaguered cloud gaming service, by July of this year. There is only one timed exclusive on Stadia at the time of this writing, and that is Tequila Works’ Gylt, which Screen Rant didn’t think very highly of. Prior to the launch of the service, Google spent months hyping up Stadia with claims of superior multiplayer and downplaying any concerns that consumers and journalists had....

Playlists to jam to First off, our hype playlist is embedded below, but of course you can also open it directly on YouTube or within the YouTube app....

Google just bought the company behind a smartphone app called Word Lens that visually translates text in real life scenarios right on your device using the camera and some behind-the-scenes intelligence. The kicker? Word Lens was recently featured rather prominently in Apple’s latest iPhone ad “Powerful” and even listed on Apple’s microsite promoting the film as an app to explore. Google, of course, offers a lot of apps on the iOS platform (36 alone if you just look at iPhone) so there’s no reason to suspect Google will remove the app from the App Store as Apple would likely do if it were to purchase the software (based on previous buys like Siri)....

Google announced today on its Google Maps blog that it’s finally tapping into the talent and technology it picked up with its acquisition of Waze back in June by integrating real time incident reports from Waze into Google Maps. The new integration means that when Waze users report incidents for everything from accidents to road closures, Google Maps users on both iOS and Android will now be able to benefit:...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5z0Ia5jDt4] Creator of Apple’s “Get a Mac” ad campaign, Scott Trattner, is leaving his role as executive creative director at TBWA/Media Arts Lab. He was responsible for the creative development of many Apple product ads from the iPod, iPhone and iPad to Mac, iTunes and iCloud.
