Welcome to the Tech Mem Right Home for Tuesday, August 3rd 2021. I'm Brian McCullough today.

Google Unveills the new Pixel 6 lineup, but the really interesting detail is the chip inside them.

Apple makes the Magic keyboard with touch ID available as a standalone product.

Microsoft makes Windows as a service live. Now China says games are the opium of the spirit and what

if drone delivery is running into the same wall as self-driving cars.

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech. So this got

announced right after I got out of the booth recording yesterday and I didn't have

any embargoed heads up so I wasn't prepared.

So I either could have rewritten the whole show yesterday or just waited for this for today

and I elected to wait to get a better handle on the larger story. Glad I did. Google yesterday

unveiled the Pixel 6 with a 6.4 inch 90 hurts display and the Pixel 6

Pro with a 6.7 inch 120

hurts display and 4X optical zoom coming in the fall.

It's sort of what you'd expect from the new pixel.

There's the usual playful colors.

There's the bold design choices.

There's a full-on camera band on the back.

Check the pictures to see what I mean.

And that band houses three cameras. A wide-angle main sensor, an ultra wide, and a 4X optical

zoom folded telephoto lens.

But there are two interesting things here. First, remember how Google had been

positioning the pixel lineup as the best mid-range phone you could buy? Well, no more
