The Google Top Stories is completely flawed, with fake news and ‘moth-eaten’ stories consuming the front page of the search results. Google’s News platform and Google Top Stories are notorious for spreading fake news and well-fabricated stories. This is not an opinion, it’s a fact that has been proven true from time and again. And apparently, Google hasn’t learned a thing from their past experiences, at least that’s what these shreds of evidence suggest. The Onion. Does that name sound familiar to you? If not, The Onion is a satire website that publishes fabricated stories to, well, entertain you. However, the…

This feature lets you perform an action just by squeezing along the edges of the smartphone. Though that sounds a bit gimmicky, it turned out to be one of the unique selling points of the HTC U11. The feature then made its way to the Google Pixel 2…
