The Best Music Visualizer App for Spotify
Every once in a while a seemingly pointless computing question of mine becomes an obsession. This week, that question is, “Whatever happened to music visualizers?

Google’s Gemini app is now available on iPhones – Computerworld
Apple’s approach is to support those external services while building up its own AI suite with its own unique — and, if you ask me, vitally necessary — selling point around privacy. Others follow a different path, but it’s hard to ignore that control of your computational experience is the root of all these ambitions. King of the hill With its early mover advantage,…

The Official ChatGPT App Is Now Available on PC
Earlier this year, I tried out OpenAI’s free ChatGPT app for Mac. And, to be honest, it was pretty good: Exclusive features, like the dedicated launcher and integrated screenshots, made using the desktop app much better than the traditional web app. Unfortunately, free ChatGPT users didn’t get the same treatment on PC.
