Google I/O 2026 was this week and Google unveiled a new Gemini search tool allowing you to add images and video to your search query. TechCrunch says “Google Search as you know it is over”, we discuss what that means. Plus Warby Parker worked with Google and Samsung on new smart glasses that were also announced at Google I/O. Is the smart wearables market big enough for another entrant? And we end the week with a weighty debate.
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Nica Montford, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
