When the world doesn’t offer you a Smart Mirror, sometimes you just have to make one yourself. At least, you do if you’re a software engineer at Google with a bit of spare time on your hands.

The straps are in fact interchangeable, just not quick release straps. The article has been updated with the correct information.

Amazon announced their Q4 2012 financial results yesterday. How much money did they make? $97 million. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but here’s a number that does sound pretty damn incredible: $21.27 billion. That’s how much money Amazon took in during the last three months of 2012.

Smartphone processors have made amazing progress over the years, but they still heat up and consume loads of juice when running advanced tasks. Google is taking action in Android Q though, thanks to a so-called Thermal API. Apps and games can use this API to take relevant measures when they detect that a device’s temperature is too high, Google notes on its developer website. “For example, streaming apps could reduce resolution/bit rate or network traffic, a camera app could disable flash or intensive image enhancement, a game could reduce frame rate or polygon tesselation, a media app could reduce speaker volume, and a maps app could turn off GPS,” the company wrote.

Nest Labs produces thermostats and smoke detectors that not only are smart but look good as well. Most interestingly, the founder of Nest is famous former Apple employee Tony Fadell, who’s known for his iPod- and iOS-related work – in fact, he started making Nest thermostats only two years ago, after leaving Apple, and now he will be joining Google. It’s not clear yet what Google will do with the company now that it owns it, but we wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Nest products will somehow be integrated in Google’s connected home plans.

The Moto Z Play impressed us last year for many reasons, and much of that had to do with its striking balance of a well-rounded feature set and affordable price point. Rather than waiting a full year for a proper refresh cycle, Motorola decided to take the wraps off the device’s successor, the Moto Z2 Play, just a few weeks ago.
