Google released its own potato chips

This isn’t the in-house chip we were expecting

Published

If, for some reason, you thought Google meant potato chips when they said they were launching their first in-house chips, then we have good news for you. Google has truly launched its own bag of potato chips.

Well, obviously, Google isn’t transitioning to the food market just yet. The company released the official bag of chips to promote its actual in-house chip, the upcoming Google Tensor chipset. Google is set to launch the flagship processor later this year. The chipset will officially debut for the Pixel 6 series, a flagship series that Google has been hyping up for month.

Unfortunately, the potato chip is only set for a limited run. Only 10,000 bags have been made for now. And they’re all sold out. As somewhat of a silver lining, Google also released a quirky video showing how the Pixel 6 works as a smartphone with the bag of chips as a stand-in.

Google offered the free bags for those in Japan. They’re designed much like how the Pixel 6 will look like. To promote Android 12’s focus on customization, users were also able to attach their own names to the bag through a customizable badge. Though the bag comes in five different colors, the potato chips come in only one flavor: Googley Salty Flavor.

Google has not confirmed whether they are making more bags for the future. However, the Pixel 6 series and the Tensor chipset are both coming sometime in the last quarter of the year.

Dyson’s latest bundle is the power couple your floors have been waiting for

Published

on

The WashG1™ makes a compelling case against the mop-and-bucket — one quiet, efficient pass at a time.

There’s a particular kind of domestic frustration that doesn’t get talked about enough: the moment you finish vacuuming, look down at your gleaming hard floors, and realize they still need mopping. Two tools. Two routines. One slightly deflated sense of accomplishment. Dyson, apparently, has been paying attention.

For a limited time, the brand is bundling two of its machines into a single, rather attractive package — the Dyson WashG1™ wet floor cleaner and the Dyson V8™ Slim cordless vacuum — positioning them as the complete answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just life.

Meet the pair

The WashG1™ is Dyson’s take on the wet floor cleaner, designed to wash hard floors in one streamlined pass rather than the traditional drag-and-splash method that mostly moves grime from one end of the room to the other. No buckets, no wringing, no staring at a suspiciously grey mop head and wondering when exactly it stopped being useful. It’s the kind of appliance that quietly earns its counter space — and then some.

Compact, cordless, and deceptively powerful: the V8™ Slim for when the mess is small but your standards aren’t.

The V8™ Slim, meanwhile, is the lighter, nimbler sibling of Dyson’s cordless line. Useful for the crumbs under the dining chair, the dust gathering behind the shelves, and every other small, daily chaos that a full-sized vacuum feels excessive for. Cordless and compact, it’s the machine you’ll actually pick up instead of sighing and walking past the mess.

Together, they cover the full floor care spectrum: the V8™ Slim handles the dry sweep, the WashG1™ follows with the wash. It’s a logical pairing, honestly — the kind that makes you wonder why you’ve been doing it any other way.

Why this Dyson combination matters

Hard floors, for all their aesthetic appeal, are unforgiving surfaces. Dust settles visibly. Spills linger. And vacuuming alone, as satisfying as the process can be, doesn’t quite address the layer of grime that accumulates on high-traffic areas over time. A wet cleaner handles what a vacuum can’t, and vice versa — which is precisely why owning both, rather than cycling through them separately across different shopping occasions, makes a certain kind of sense.

There’s also something to be said for the ease of a dedicated routine. When both machines live in the same home, cleaning stops being a production and starts being a rhythm — a quick pass with the V8™ Slim in the morning, a proper wash with the WashG1™ when the floors need it. Less deliberation, more just getting it done.

The numbers

Originally priced at ₱74,800 for both, the bundle is currently available at ₱45,900 — a saving of ₱28,900. The mechanic is straightforward: purchase the WashG1™ and the V8™ Slim comes with it.

The promo runs from April 16 to 30, 2026, available at Dyson Stores nationwide. For those who’ve been watching these two machines from a careful distance, the window is narrow — but the value proposition is hard to argue with.

YouTube remains top PH video platform; advertisers urged to continue investing

Advertisers urged to continue investing in TV programs

Published

As YouTube remains the top streaming platform in the Philippines, advertisers are urged to continue investing in TV programs and content available on the platform, as these generate effective returns.

According to a 2025 Kantar Study, YouTube is the No. 1 video streaming platform in the Philippines in terms of reach.

The same study mentions that 97% of Filipinos in rural Visayas and Mindanao, two major island groups in the country, have watched online TV programs on YouTube in the past month.

Another significant finding is that the streaming platform is providing a 60% incremental reach beyond traditional linear TV.

This proves that YouTube is an essential bridge to Filipino TV viewers, specially in this era. The platform has transformed from just being a video hosting site to an all-in-one entertainment hub that spans traditional TV programs and both longform vlogs and shortform trending clips.

Given this massive gravitational pull, YouTube has partnered with media giants ABS-CBN, GMA, and TV5. This is to ensure the best content, from news to live sports, is available to every YouTube subscriber.

Furthermore, during the “Unstoppable: YouTube in the Next Era of Growth” event, the networks also urged advertisers to keep supporting such TV programs and related content.

They mentioned conversion numbers that say ads through such content remain effective. This is a dynamic that sponsors can continue to explore for marketing, given that YouTube has also integrated Unskippable Ads onto their platform.

The official trailer for the Street Fighter movie has been released, along with new posters. The film hits cinemas starting October 14.

An unreleased version of Tupac Shakur’s “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” is among the trailer’s highlights. This song was created for Mike Tyson in the 1990s.

The 2-minute, 46-second clip opens with Noah Centineo’s Ken Masters and his dynamic with Callina Liang’s Chun-Li.

It also highlights more of the human side of Ken Masters, as well has his vulnerabilities before the lead up to the tournament.

The clip’s tone then changes to a more action-packed sequence featuring the film’s other cast members in their battle forms.

The trailer concludes climactically with fireballs from both Ken and Andrew Koji’s Ryu. As previously mentioned, the Street Fighter movie is set in 1993, when Ken and Ryu are recruited by Chun-Li and thrown into combat.

This World Warrior Tournament is a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury, with a deadly conspiracy lying beneath.

Directed by Kitao Sakurai and based on the Capcom video game franchise, the movie also stars:

  • Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoai as Akuma
  • David Dastmalchian as M. Bison
  • Cody Rhodes as Guile
  • Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki
  • Eric André as Don Sauvage
  • Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim
  • Orville Peck as Vega
  • Olivier Richters as Zangief
  • Hirooki Goto as E. Honda
  • Rayna Vallandingham as Juli
  • Alexander Volkanovski as Joe

They are joined by Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson as Balrog, who also go a lot of screen time in the official trailer. Rounding out the cast is Jason Momoa as Blanka.
