Gmail tipped to offer temporary email addresses

You might be able to use a temporary email with your Gmail soon. At least, references to the feature were spotted in the Gmail Android app's apk file. Google calls it "Shielded Email." The idea is you get a temporary email address you can give out to third parties instead of using your actual email. And when you receive emails through this address, they get forwarded to your regular inbox. If you want to kill the account and not receive emails through it, you can easily do so without dealing with unsubscribing or other tedious processes.

From the screenshot shared by Android Authority, it seems there might be options to have more than one Shielded Email. However, it's unclear if Google will roll out this feature. We will keep our eyes out for any updates.

The Google Pixel Tablet is expected to get a successor soon, and with it comes accessories. Google is rumoured to introduce a keyboard case with the Pixel Tablet 2. It is unclear if it will be bundled with the tablet or sold separately. This new slate is expected to arrive with newer and better cameras, an improved processor, a seven-year update cycle, and display output support.

The Pixel Tablet 2 won't supposedly get a new look but it might feature smaller bezels and have rearranged button placements.

Airbnb and the Colosseum Archaeological Park signed a US$1.5 million deal to allow 16 tourists a free experience at the Roman Colosseum. The promotion is a tie-in with the newly released Paramount film, Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott. The May 7-8, 2025, experience is free for the eight guests (and their plus ones), where they can explore rarely seen areas of the Colosseum and dress in full gladiatorial garb for their "mock battle." The winners must arrange their transportation and accommodation in Rome.
