It's January 7, 2022 and National Bobblehead Day! You don't need an excuse to flick the ones on your desk, but pat them on the head for us. Maybe their nods will sync up with this fresh playlist we made for you. Apple Music | Spotify  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 288 articles, 14 podcasts, 19 press releases, 391 tweets, and 21 YouTube videos 1. Samsung Introduces a Bunch of New Folding Devices Samsung used this week's CES event to unveil a slew of folding devices, including the prototype designs for the "S" fold and the "G" fold smartphones, the Flex Slidable smartphone, and the Flex Note foldable laptop. Somehow, Samsung found a way to make them all fold in unique ways. Neat! 2. ASUS Expands Zenbook Lineup With Three New Laptops ASUS unveiled new additions to its Zenbook series during CES, including the Zenbook 14 OLED, 14X OLED Space Edition, and the 17 Fold OLED. It also revealed the Chromebook Flip CX5, and the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 laptop. Geez, ASUS, save some room for the other companies. 3. Call-to-Action Cards Are Coming to Spotify's Podcast Ads Want more ads in your podcast listening experience? Spotify isn't giving you much choice, as it's now implementing interactive ads that appear within the app when the relevant ad plays during your podcast. It calls it the next step "for the future of audio as an interactive, multi-way experience." Gee, thanks? 🦑 Go Deeper Sick of living in fear of losing your debit or credit cards? Worry no longer, because Mayank Sharma is here to tell you all about Walletmor's new payment implants. Now you can become the wallet. 🎱 By the Numbers Hey, uh, are you okay, Samsung?  Data: Counterpoint Research Samsung's share of the smartphone market has been kinda all over the place since Q2 2020. Gone are the steady sales, only to be replaced by quarterly ups and downs. Maybe the company seemingly going all-in on foldable phones will level things out.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
If you still need a really good pair of headphones, and you're already deep in the Apple ecosystem, the AirPods Max are down to $459.99 on Woot right now for Amazon Prime members. Log in, snatch them up, then tune out the world. 🤓 Nerd Out "Truly, the next Banksy." —Molly McLaughlin, Senior Content Strategist Painting a wall can be a hassle, but what if you just had a robot do it for you? That's a project Stuff Made Here on YouTube took on, and unsurprisingly, it works, but took a lot of effort to pull off. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Robot mixology  Image: Stanley Black & Decker How does the idea of a robot bartender sound to you? Pretty good? Well, Stanley Black & Decker (yep, the one that makes power drills and such), took to CES 2022 to show off its Bev alcoholic drink mixer/dispenser. It's out this Spring for $300, which is juuuust low enough to make us (and you) want one. 🎥 Behind the Scenes But I liked being at home! The simultaneous release of new movies in theaters and on streaming services may continue in 2022, but according to Deadline, the success of movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home's theatrical-only release may see streaming-only releases happen less often.
