Yes, the new Xbox One is highly covetable for many reasons. But once you get past the games and the promise of TV integration down the line, oh, and the rumbling controllers, you finally land on what might be its most useful purpose: The world's most sophisticated workout gadget. Read More >>
So, Google's new Hangouts app keeps all of your chats in sync across all of your devices. Cool, right?
