A small tweak in Google Calendar now lets users un-delete events and undo changes made.
Google is making a small but useful change to the web version of Google Calendar. The service is adding a “trash can” button that lets users delete events, and then quickly undelete them if a meeting has been rescheduled or an event needs to be put back on the calendar.
A new study from research firm IDC predicts massive disruption in the next five years for tech.
A new study from one of the world’s most respected research firms says the tech industry is headed for a period of chaos. The International Data Corporation’s new FutureScape 2016 report claims, for starters, that 30% of the tech industry’s suppliers will “not exist as we know them today” in five years because they will either fail or be acquired.
Shana, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into.
Today, in the spirit of healthy debate,1 I would like to present the Tabs in a “Point / Counterpoint” format. Ready? Let’s begin.
DJI wants to find the best robotics engineers in the Valley, and keep an eye out for potential partners and investments while they’re at it.
China’s DJI, the world’s largest maker of consumer drones, is opening a Silicon Valley research and development center in hopes of harnessing the wealth of robotics talent in the area…and identifying potential new partners and investment targets in the process.
YouTube also announced that its entire video library can now be watched using the Google Cardboard VR viewer.
YouTube today said it is adding virtual reality functionality to its Android app.
A Google designer shared what he learned working on Cardboard so that you don’t have to suffer so much.
Virtual Reality is a nascent technology, in which all of the studied rules and clever UI elements that have made our phones and laptops so comfortable to use don’t actually exist yet. And so Jean-Marc Denis, a designer for Google (where he helped launched Inbox), took to Medium to share his experience of jumping into the new field for Google Cardboard.

Minorities are more likely than whites to be passionate about virtual reality. And despite the attention paid to Facebook-owned Oculus in the media, Sony’s PlayStation VR is the most recognized brand.
One in 4 global corporations are already seeing water issues affect their business. The situation is only getting worse.
Before the world runs short of energy or food, it’s likely to run out of usable water. The U.N. says more than 1 billion people live in water-stressed areas, and every forecast shows the situation getting worse because of climate change and population growth. NASA said this year that 21 of the world’s most important aquifers have already passed replacement point: more water is being taken out than is going back in.
Kids’ fanciful drawings have been rendered faithfully in plush polyester—wonky lines, uneven eyes, and all.
Have you ever looked at an adorable-yet-incompetent drawing made by a child and thought, “Now wait a minute—that would make an amazing plush toy?” No, neither have I, which is why neither of us has a job at Ikea coming up with awesome new product designs.
Powerful, carefully controlled sound waves could be used to control objects without having to touch them at all—even inside the human body.
This video shows a real live tractor beam in action. It uses an array of small speakers to levitate objects and to move them precisely through the air. The beam can even pull objects from above, just like the tractor beams that aliens spacecraft use to abduct human subjects for their terrifying experiments.
