Google Glass just began shipping to select members of the press, but before they even hit public eyes (literally), there are already criticisms about its dorkiness and possible invasion of privacy. But beyond those concerns, we’re still trying to understand a slew of new gestures Google wants us to get accustomed to with the Glass. Like all new gadgets, fancy shortcuts and commands are meant to eventually become standard … yet it doesn’t make using them any less weird to onlookers. To this day, we still find it awkward when someone with a Bluetooth headset appears to be talking to themselves.
Luckily, you don’t have to personally undergo the hassle. Saturday Night Live‘s fictional tech correspondent Randall Meeks appeared on the show’s Weekend Update segment to show off the struggles of Google Glass – everything from poor voice recognition to indiscreet gestures and overall concept silliness.
“I used to spend so much time of my life looking down at my phone, and now, thanks to Google Glass, the phone is up here and I can use it without being rude or distracting!” Meeks says, defending the Glass mishaps like all fanboys do with their new toys.
To be fair, Google Voice works pretty well in our experiences compared to Siri, so the poor guy might be overdoing the whole voice command thing. Still, we think it’s going to look pretty dumb directing the Glass out loud in the middle of the street every time you feel like taking a video. We didn’t even think about the possibility of people “discreetly” watching porn in public with the Glass, but now that Meeks demonstrated … well, yikes.
Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.

Mini PCs have become an increasingly practical alternative to traditional desktops, especially if you're trying to save desk space without giving up the Windows experience. Whether you need something for everyday work, a home entertainment setup, or more demanding creative tasks, there's a surprising amount of hardware packed into these compact machines.
Apple has unveiled a new iMac and a 14-inch MacBook Pro, both powered by its new baseline M6 chip. If you’ve been eyeing either device, now is the time to act, as entry-level configurations are becoming harder to get with each product launch.
The devices will be open for pre-order Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 10:10 AM PT. Meanwhile, deliveries and store stock will arrive on Friday, November 6.
