Are you a Windows 11 (or 10) user who’s jealous of Mac owners with iPhones who can use AirDrop to seamlessly transfer files?

An example question shown at the Made by Google event included: “I’m thinking of opening a sidewalk café in Seattle. Help me research what I need to do”. You…

Hot on the heels of the debut of the Google Pixel Watch 3 during August 13’s Made by Google event, Google Fitbit and Peloton have announced a “multi-year partnership” with benefits to subscribers of either platforms.  Starting in early September, Fitbit users will get access to a limited number of fitness classes from Peloton.
