Talking Tech
 
Thursday, April 7

Welcome to Thursday, Talking Tech readers. The weather is gradually warming. Baseball is back. And Brett Molina returns with your tech headlines.

Let's start with Google, which rolled out a really cool new way to search for stuff.

It's a multisearch feature available through Google Lens, a visual search option where users can take images and directly look it up on Google.

With multisearch, you can use text, too. Let's say you find a great pair of shoes, but you want them in a different color. You can snap a picture of the shoes, type out the color in the text field, and Google spits out shoes in that color.

Right now, Google says the results from multisearch work best for shopping. You can access Lens using the Google app on iOS and Android.

What else happened in Tech?

JACK DORSEY'S REGRETS. The co-founder of Twitter said he's "partially to blame" for centralizing the internet into the hands of corporations.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, APPLE. They turned 46. They don't look a day over 35.
