Android apps are heading to a whiter future with rounder rectangles

A Google design sizzle reel, prepared to tease the upcoming Material Design update across all of Android, has surfaced to give us an early peek at how Google is planning to refresh the look of its own Android apps. Created by Adam Grabowski and Nicolo Bianchino, designers who've collaborated with Google in the past, the video shows off some conceptual images for the future of the Google Photos, Google Maps, and Gmail apps, among others. Ars Technica's Ron Amadeo has done a great job of breaking down the changes and setting the prospective new look against the existing one.

Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand.
