Hangout with President Obama on Google+ this Valentine’s Day

Add as a preferred source on Google

President Obama GooglePlus Fireside Hangout Feb142013After President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address tomorrow, you’ll be able to ask the President all your burning questions at his “Fireside Hangouts” on Google+ scheduled for February 14 at 4:50 p.m. EST. At least that’s the idea, according to Google.

In reality, you need to submit your questions in text or video to the White House YouTube channel before 11:59 p.m. EST on Wednesday, February 13, then hope they get enough votes to be answered by the President during his Fireside Hangouts the following day.

This Hangouts will feature a group of online talking heads who regularly discuss important issues of the day, and select participants will ask the President your questions. You’ll be able to tune in live to the President’s virtual chat on WhiteHouse.gov, White House’s Google+ page, or on its YouTube channel.

This is the second time President Obama will be turning to Google+ to engage with fellow Americans (the first being last year’s State of the Union speech), and follows recent Fireside Hangouts hosted by Vice President Joe Biden, and Domestic Policy Director Cecilia Munoz on gun violence and immigration reform.

You can watch the President’s State of the Union on all major television networks tomorrow night at 9 p.m. EST, or follow along with his “enhanced” speech – which, according to the White House Blog, will include charts, facts, and other information – online and on your mobile devices. 

Check out the video below for some Fireside Hangouts inspiration.

ChatGPT's desktop app is getting a much-needed course correction. When OpenAI merged Chat, Work, and Codex into one unified desktop app roughly a week ago, the experience came with more issues than intended, burying basic features like chat history and making it awkward to switch between modes. Now OpenAI has rolled out a batch of fixes based on feedback to make the app feel consistent regardless of which device you use.

I found five mechanical keyboards I’d happily recommend for Back-to-School
The right mechanical keyboard makes every assignment, game, and study session feel a little more satisfying.
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Shopping for a mechanical keyboard is a little different from shopping for a laptop. Unlike flashy specs or benchmark numbers, the right keyboard is something that gets appreciated every single day. Whether it’s taking notes in class, writing essays, coding late into the night, or unwinding with a few games after lectures. After looking through dozens of options, I kept coming back to these five. They cover everything from budget-friendly beginner boards to enthusiast-grade keyboards and esports-focused gaming options. More importantly, they’re keyboards I’d actually recommend buying for the Back-to-School season.

Virtua Fighter Crossroads will help showcase gaming on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.

The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.
