TWiT Throwback (Audio)

The September Apple event has been confirmed for a week from Wednesday, September 7th at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco at 10:00 a.m. Alphabet is used to shooting for the moon, but what exactly has come out of those moon shots at this point? Today, Fitbit announced the Charge 2 and the Flex 2. Kurt Wagner from Re/Code talks about GPS sensors in footballs. If you were an early adopter of speech to text you probably remember how laughably wrong voice recognition was. If you haven't used it since then, you might think about giving it another try. A new study from Stanford says that speaking to our mobile devices is a lot faster than typing on them. Finally, now you can get a commercial drone license.
