Google wants to broaden your horizons — and maybe put some “fake news” to rest — with its updated News app.
The company rolled out the new program during its I/O conference TuesdayIt uses artificial intelligence to show everyone a broad perspective on the same information, unlike, say, the Facebook News Feed, which varies wildly from person to person.

On Wednesday, Google announced that the new Google Calendar look will now become the permanent interface — whether you like it or not.
Don’t worry — the design is essentially the same as the calendar you’ve seen for the last few years.
Most everyone will be auto-updated on either Jan. 8 (for those that have the Rapid Release update option) or Jan. 15 (for those on the default rollout update option). Some folks may wish to opt-out until Feb. 28 — but after that, Google will auto-update those holdouts that are afraid of change hesitant to part with the older calendar (Google’s upgrading options can be found here) Read more…
