Google is now offering you the ability to link all of your Google services to the company’s AI services for better results, looping in Google Intelligence, Gemini, with Gmail and your other data. It’s a classic tactic used from Microsoft to Google and others: Connect your sources of data, and the service will become more adept at predicting what you want. Google’s new capability is being offered to every Google user with a personal Google account, but it’s not automatic. You’ll need to opt in. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. In January, Google began providing its Intelligence service to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Now, you don’t need to pay Google for the privilege. Instead, you’ll be able to take advantage of the service if you have a Google account. Intelligence will come to Google’s AI Search, the Gemini app, and Gemini within Chrome. Google Why would you want to do this? The idea is that by connecting all of your services, vague queries like, “Hey, what was that thing that I bought with Jenny? You know, that I took to the party?” would be answerable by Google collating shipping notifications, items on your calendar, and so on. All of that vague information could be rooted out. Unfortunately, that would mean that Google would have an even more comprehensive view of your life than it normally does, and would be able to provide ever more sophisticated profiles to advertisers — or simply itself. Google won’t make this same kind of access available to business accounts. And Google says that you’ll be able to turn off access to specific apps whenever you’d like. Let’s hope that Google lets this remain optional and opt-in, and won’t quietly change its behavior over time.

The MacBook lineup has finished its shift over to the M5 chip generation, and has been joined by the MacBook Neo . Here's which model you should buy to fit your budget, as of early 2026. MacBook Air [left], MacBook Neo [center], MacBook Pro [right] Apple's catalog of products is set up to provide consumers with both something that fits their budget, and an upgrade path that seems very close together. This ranges from a value-focused device like the new MacBook Neo to the bank-busting side with the MacBook Pro . While this was previously a two-tier system, with the MacBook Air being the entry-level option, the introduction of the MacBook Neo changes things. We now have the entry-level Neo, with Air becoming the mid-tier choice, and the Pro line as the premium and performance option. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
