Some Google Stadia pre-orders are hinting at just how soon hardware might arrive

Jules Wang

So, you've bought into Google Stadia with that $130 Founder's Edition kit, you've got enough internet pumping in and out to blast 4K HDR games without the console, and you're just about to explode with all the titles set to come in the next year. All you're waiting for is the word "go," and so far, we've only been given the word "November." But a couple of clues have recently popped up in the Stadia subreddit in the hopes of letting us mark down a specific day on our calendars.

Alphabet's Wing gains FAA license to fly drones for U.S. deliveries

Jules Wang

It's a concept that's been teased by megacorporations for years yet has only had meaningful progress in recent years: delivery by drone.

Today, the FAA announced that Wing, now the bona fide Alphabet company, has become the first drone delivery company to receive an Air Carrier Certification, meaning that it can now legally do business in the United States.

Android Messages 3.2 adds 2FA code copy shortcuts [APK Download]

Taylor Kerns

Two-factor authentication is a great way to make your accounts more secure, but using SMS messages for the codes is a bit of a hassle: request code, switch apps, copy code, switch apps, paste code (or read and remember the code, but what is this, the 1840s?). Android Messages has a new trick that makes the process a little easier: it now parses 2FA codes from texts and presents the option to copy them with a single tap.

Jason Hahn

Amazon is no stranger to dipping its toe in different stages of the shipping and delivery process. It already uses local couriers to make two-hour deliveries in select US cities, offers consumers the option to allow for in-home deliveries, and operates its own fleet of cargo jet planes and trucks. The Wall Street Journal is now reporting that Amazon plans to launch a delivery service of its own in Los Angeles in the coming weeks with plans for a wider rollout later this year.

Amazon Is Ready To Uberize Your Package Delivery With Amazon Flex

Bertel King, Jr.

Amazon is known for its fast delivery times and reliability. I know when I place an order from the site, if it doesn't get here in the promised two days, that's because it got here in one instead. This has brought the online retailer widespread adoption, even if that hasn't necessary translated into huge profits.

This has only encouraged Amazon to speed things up. We've heard talk of drones for a few years now. A more recent rumor has been that Amazon was planning on using everyday Americans to help with same-day delivery. You could call this the Uber approach.
