Girl Scout cookies are universally adored, but incredibly hard to find — unless you know a Girl Scout. After years of selling cookies the old-fashioned way, Girl Scouts will now have their own websites and apps to help them sell cookies digitally. Of course, you’ll still have to find your local troop, but there’s an app for that!

Using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, you can search for the troop nearest you and then connect with a Girl Scout. Just tell a scout your email address, and she’ll email you a link to her cookie selling site. There, you’ll be able to see her profile, learn what she plans to do with the money she earns from cookie sales, and place your cookie order. The new Digital Cookie initiative is the first major change the organization has made to its cookie sale system since the tradition first began in 1917.

The Digital Cookie program is intended to teach the girls about online entrepreneurship, handling transactions online, and setting up their own websites. More than 1 million scouts are expected to use the new digital cookie sales technique, but not every troop will join in. The Girl Scouts organization leaves it up to the troop and each girl’s parents, whether they want to participate or not. For the most part, Girl Scouts and their parents seem excited about it. However, no one is more thrilled about digital cookie sales than the Girl Scout cookie loving American public.

You can download the Cookie Finder app right now on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, but you can’t actually search for Girl Scout cookie sellers yet. There’s still 10 days, 9 hours, and a bunch of minutes left before sales start. In the meantime, you can meet the cookies on the app and drool over the pictures of Samoas, Trefoils, Do-si-dos, and Tagalongs.

You can pick up the Google Pixel 7 Pro for only $500 today

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

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

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.
