Google Store to Sell Chromebooks, Nexus Phones and More

Google's hardware is getting an online retail space all to itself. Launching today (March 11), the Google Store will offer everything from Chromebooks to Android phones and tablets.

Those devices had been available through the Devices section of the Google Play store. But a company spokesperson said that the number of devices that Google makes has reached a point that justifies a separate store. Google Play's devices tab now redirects to the Google Store.

By splitting its hardware retail efforts from its apps, Google is taking a page out of Apple's book, which has long had separate online outlets for selling its devices and Mac and iOS apps. And Google certainly can boast enough hardware to fill its virtual shelves. Among the items on sale at the Google Store are the Nexus 6 smartphone, Nexus 9 tablet, Android Wear smartwatches, the Nexus Player streaming box, the Chromecast streaming dongle and Nest's smart thermostat. The Google Store's launch coincides with the release of an updated Chromebook Pixel, which the newly launched online store displays prominently.

In addition to hardware, you'll also find accessories on sale at the Google Store. And Google is trying its hand at salesmanship of another kind with a section that touts the merits of its Android operating system.

If you are in the market for any of the hardware on sale at the Google Store, this may be the time to make that purchase: Google's offering free shipping on everything to mark the store's launch. You'll also find USB-C adapters available here that are cheaper than those you'll find on Apple's site.

Why I Wake Up Early (And 9 Reasons You Should Do So Too)

Here are 9 reasons why I say this: 1. Get a head start When you wake up at 5am, you start your day earlier than 99.9% of the world — hence giving you a head start in your day. This creates a feel-good factor, which, while psychological, creates a host of positive effects (especially for reasons #2 and #3 in the list). After all, a good start is half the battle won. It will motivate you to stay ahead so you can maintain or even widen the lead. For example, my modus operandi when I wake up early is to work on the high-impact tasks right away, as opposed to the small, easy but unimportant tasks. I will also think and work effectively, and strive to end my day earlier so that I can have an early sleep, wake up early the next day, and continue my “head start.” On the whole, I’d say that I’m more forward thinking and proactive in managing my tasks — since I have a head start in my day, I naturally think about how I can be ahead in my work too. On the other hand, when I wake up ...

NASA unveils seasonal dust storm pattern on Mars Improving the ability to predict large-scale, potentially hazardous dust storms on Mars would have safety benefits for planning robotic and human missions to the planet's surface. NASA's Mars orbiters have unveiled a pattern of large regional dust storms occurring at about the same times each year, an advance that may help predict these hazardous events during future robotic and human missions to the red planet. After decades of research to discern seasonal patterns in Martian dust storms from images showing the dust, but the clearest pattern appears to be captured by measuring the temperature of the red planet's atmosphere. For six recent Martian years, temperature records from NASA Mars orbiters reveal a pattern of three types of large regional dust storms occurring in sequence at about the same times each year during the southern hemisphere spring and summer. Each Martian year lasts about two Ea...
