Additionally, they could tell the difference between shapes like squares, stars, and crescents, as well as the difference between squares and irregular figures with four sides.

These include more rounded options, and more complex geometric shapes. The new icon shape customization feature is part of the in-development version of the Pixel wallpaper app that Google has ...

The cosmos may have something in common with a doughnut. In addition to their fried, sugary goodness, doughnuts are known for their shape, or in mathematical terms, their topology. In a universe ...
