Google’s Cloud Next developer event is today, and the Google Workspace team is using the opportunity to announce a number of new tools across Gmail, Docs, Meet, and the rest of the Workspace ecosystem. Google is investing more in its “smart canvas” concept for Docs, letting users embed information and apps inside a document. It’s also releasing some new Meet features with hybrid work in mind, like automatic meeting transcriptions and an AI-powered framing tool for conference room cameras that aims to keep speakers in focus at all times.

Google Workspace also has a new leader: Aparna Pappu, who took the job as VP and GM of Workspace in July after Javier Soltero left the company. Pappu has been at Google since 2007, and did a long stint on the ads team before joining the Workspace group in 2017 (back when it was called G Suite). After previously leading the Workspace engineering team, she’s now fully in charge of the business.

The way Pappu sees it, Google Workspace may be a tiny player in the business software game — Microsoft Office still owns almost 90 percent of the market — but it has reasons for optimism. “I think about the fact that we have a generation of people who use Google Docs in school, and are entering the workforce in large numbers,” she says. Google’s data says those people prefer Workspace to Office in a big way, and Pappu is ready to win the market over time.

HBO Max is absolutely stuffed with sci-fi movies, from the classics to recent blockbusters to underrated bangers more people need to watch. Try little Spanish gem Timecrimes, Moon (starring Sam Rockwell) or Monsters (directed by Gareth Edwards).

Thanks to the recent Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, HBO Max has seen a few casualties, including the removals of Moonshot, Superintelligence, 2020’s The Witches, An American Pickle, Locked Down and Charm City Kings. thankfully, none of those are worthwhile sci-fi flicks. Here’s everything you need to know about the merger.

Scroll down for the extensive options available on HBO Max.

Universal Pictures

A new Jurassic Park movie is headed to theaters this year, so catch up on the (superior) original now. 1993’s Jurassic Park kicked off the franchise, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. Spoiler: Original cast members Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum are set to make a return in the upcoming 2022 flick.

Warner Bros. Pictures

Its sequel didn’t reach the same lofty heights, so watch the first monster epic in the Pacific Rim franchise. 2013’s Pacific Rim is helmed by Guillermo Del Toro, so expect a strong brush of visual artistry over the monster mayhem.

Reiner Bajo

The box office of this Roland Emmerich disaster flick bombed harder than the falling moon at its center. Yet, as a cheesy B-movie, Moonfall isn’t a total disaster. Astronauts, conspiracy theories and a falling moon are just some of what you can expect from a

Climeworks closes a chapter in early carbon removal tech

Swiss company Climeworks plans to phase out the first-generation technology that made it a pioneer in the business of carbon removal. The move is part of Climeworks’ pivot away from selling its captured carbon dioxide to companies like Coca-Cola. Instead, Climeworks says it will focus on efforts to store the CO2 underground permanently.

Climeworks became the first company to suck carbon dioxide out of the air and sell it as a product back in 2017. That’s when its direct air capture (DAC) plant called Capricorn opened in Hinwil, Switzerland. Beyond being foundational to Climeworks’ continued growth, Capricorn’s existence was a major milestone for the brand-new carbon removal industry. Five years later, Capricorn is essentially outdated climate tech.

Climeworks announced that it has “complete[d] the commercial operation phase of its DAC facility in Hinwil, leading to the phase-out of its first generation technology.” In other words, the plant is no longer capturing CO2, Climeworks press manager Judith Hebekeuser confirmed with The Verge in an e-mail.

Climeworks made clear in its announcement that it now prioritizes “scaling its permanent carbon dioxide removal.” And Capricorn just wasn’t built to permanently remove the planet-heating gas from the atmosphere. It started off supplying CO2 to a nearby greenhouse that used it to help grow vegetables. Then Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland came along in 2019 and started buying the CO2 to carbonate mineral water. That was the first time that direct air capture technology

Haunting Nebula Looks Like It Wants to Consume Your Soul

dang, European Southern Observatory, you sure know how to celebrate an anniversary in style. Congratulations on 60 years and on the image you chose to mark the occasion: a gloriously spooky new view of the Cone Nebula.

ESO is a research organization with 16 member states, ranging from Austria to the UK. It focuses on ground-based astronomy using telescopes like the Very Large Telescope in Chile. ESO was founded in 1962. ESO staff selected the Cone Nebula image to mark the 60th anniversary.

Here’s the full view of the Cone Nebula as seen by ESO’s Very Large Telescope.

ESO

The Cone Nebula, a scenic formation of gas and dust, is part of a star-forming region called NGC 2264. It has an eerie appearance in the VLT image, like a dark and foreboding figure wearing a cloak, standing tall and staring into our souls like a dementor. But that’s just me anthropomorphizing a haunting image.

ESO said “this view is more dramatic than any obtained before, as it showcases the nebula’s dark and impenetrable cloudy appearance in a way that makes it resemble a mythological creature.”

The firefly-like stars show how this area is acting as a stellar nursery. Hydrogen gas appears in blue and sulfur gas is more reddish.

The nebula’s pillar stretches across seven light-years. It’s located in the constellation Monoceros (the unicorn) at a distance of 2,500 light-years from Earth. That’s far in terms of human scale, but close-ish in astronomical terms.
