Seamless and GrubHub may be the undisputed champs of food delivery apps, but Yelp really wants to change that. In its latest bid to win over the hungry, hungover, and proudly lazy, Yelp bought Eat24, the food delivery service it partnered with back in 2013.

Eat24 may be the smaller brother of Seamless and GrubHub, but it still delivers food from 20,000 different restaurants in 1,500 cities across the U.S. In a blog post announcing the deal, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman said Eat24’s “mission is to keep you from having to cook, shop, or wear pants,” which is a pretty accurate description of most delivery apps.

Yelp’s earlier deal with Eat24 allowed users to order food delivery from select restaurants through Eat24, but now the process will be more seamless (no pun intended). Yelp already has an extensive collection of reviews from average, ordinary people who like to eat out at restaurants, so now it will be easier than ever to get good food with just a few taps in one app.

Those who use Seamless and GrubHub will still have to go to Yelp to see reviews, and they may very well end up using Yelp’s new food delivery system instead. Hopefully, the two companies will integrate Eat24 into the app fully over the course of 2015.

Once more restaurants incorporate the food delivery service into their online ordering options, you’ll basically never have to leave your house for food again, though we do recommend keeping your pants handy for when the delivery guy shows up.

A new leak teases how thin the Galaxy S25 Slim will be — and it’s impressive

The Samsung Galaxy S25 "Slim" has been part of the rumor mill for a while now. If you've missed it, here's what you need to know: It almost certainly does exist, and it's expected to launch sometime during the middle of 2025, instead of next month like the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup. And now, we have a better idea of just how thin this phone might actually be.

Well-known tipster Ice Universe shared the information on Weibo, stating that its thickness "may be 6.x mm." In other words, the leaker isn't sure of the exact thickness, but expects it to fall between 6mm and 6.9mm.

Google Photos is getting a cool new feature to speed up your photo edits

Google Photos' year in review feature for 2024.

Google Photos for Android is introducing a new feature that simplifies photo editing right before sharing. A tipster from Android Authority first reported this tool.

The new “Quick Edit” tool lets users easily enhance or crop individual photos before sharing them. It features an “Enhance” button, which functions similarly to the “Enhance” effect in the standard photo-editing options. A crop button is also similar to the one in the regular photo editor. When multiple photos are selected before hitting the share button, the typical share sheet appears instead of the new “Quick Edit” screen.

The base model Galaxy S25 will get a RAM upgrade we’ve waited years for

Someone holding the Samsung Galaxy S24 with the display turned on.

Back in November, we heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 might come with an upgraded amount of RAM compared to the base Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra both start with 12GB of RAM minimum, but until now, the majority of base-model Samsung handsets only had 8GB.

Abhishek Yadav, a known leaker, shared a post on X that said the base storage variant of the Galaxy S25 would come with 12GB of RAM. This also implies that the base storage is likely to be 256GB too. As apps, operating systems, and integrated AI become more powerful, so do their technical requirements. A bump to the base amount of RAM and storage will yield improved performance (hopefully) without a significant cost increase.
