It may have seemed like science fiction just a few years ago, but a world filled with package-carrying drones zooming by overhead is right around the corner. Just last week, Amazon announced that its Prime Air delivery service would start delivering packages in just a few months time. And now comes word that Uber is planning to unleash its own fleet of drones in the near future.

Not to be confused with Uber’s flying car initiative, the ridesharing company’s drone strategy in question is a bit more subdued but still ambitious in its own right. Specifically, Uber is currently seeking FAA approval for drones that would be able to help deliver food to customers as part of the company’s Uber Eats program, according to a new report from Bloomberg.

We called it the most life-affirming Netflix show of 2018 when it debuted last year, and with good reason. Dogs, an insanely heartwarming six-part Netflix series, followed a handful of storylines involving dog owners around the globe and the tight bond they share with their four-legged friends. We were introduced to dog owners and their loveable good boys from places as far-flung as Syria, Japan, Italy, Costa Rica, and the US, and we saw dogs get adopted, survive war and so much more. No wonder it quickly became for many Netflix viewers an instant must-binge series.

And now, according to a new report from Variety, as well as the show’s official Twitter account, it seems that Netflix has thankfully decided to give a new season to Dogs.

At WWDC last week when Apple got around to introducing the new app sign-in button it’s planning to introduce with the launch of iOS 13 this fall, it actually drew a big round of audience applause and cheers.

The iPhone maker, which has reportedly asked that developers position the button right on top of Google and Facebook login buttons, says its button will be tied to Face ID/Touch ID to make everything secure and convenient. Also, Apple will be able to use the button to generate an infinite number of unique email addresses to protect your real email, in addition to not capturing tons of data about you when you click the button.

If you end up in a county jail, chances are you’re not having the greatest of days to begin with. Inmates who found themselves behind the bars of the Bergen County jail in New Jersey got a little more than they bargained for this week when a handful of them came down with the mumps.

In a new research paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, the research team suggests that the area of presumed habitability around stars may be much more narrow than previously thought.

The study focuses not only on the surface temperature of any world that might be orbiting a given star, but also the levels of certain gases present depending on the intensity of the star and the location of the planet.
