Yelp just bought Eat24 so you don’t have to ‘cook, shop, or wear pants’

Seamless and GrubHub may be the undisputed champs of food delivery apps, but Yelp really wants to change that. In its latest bid to win over the hungry, hungover, and proudly lazy, Yelp bought Eat24, the food delivery service it partnered with back in 2013.

Eat24 may be the smaller brother of Seamless and GrubHub, but it still delivers food from 20,000 different restaurants in 1,500 cities across the U.S. In a blog post announcing the deal, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman said Eat24’s “mission is to keep you from having to cook, shop, or wear pants,” which is a pretty accurate description of most delivery apps.

Yelp’s earlier deal with Eat24 allowed users to order food delivery from select restaurants through Eat24, but now the process will be more seamless (no pun intended). Yelp already has an extensive collection of reviews from average, ordinary people who like to eat out at restaurants, so now it will be easier than ever to get good food with just a few taps in one app.

Those who use Seamless and GrubHub will still have to go to Yelp to see reviews, and they may very well end up using Yelp’s new food delivery system instead. Hopefully, the two companies will integrate Eat24 into the app fully over the course of 2015.

Once more restaurants incorporate the food delivery service into their online ordering options, you’ll basically never have to leave your house for food again, though we do recommend keeping your pants handy for when the delivery guy shows up.

A new Google Pixel Tablet is coming, but it’s not what you think

Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it's probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.

According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to "relaunch" the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you'll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet's standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you're done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.

If you're on an older iPhone with a lightning cable, you can grab Anker's Anker 641 USB-C to Lightning Cable that's 6 feet long using the coupon WSPEV2KENJP2. On the other hand, if you need a USB-C to connect and charge your devices, you can grab the 6-foot Anker 543 USB-C to USB-C Cable using the code WSPEV2EHDR0C.

I keep forgetting about the Apple Watch Series 9’s coolest feature

Apps on the Apple Watch Series 9's screen.

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.
