Apple's WWDC 2017 will take place in San Jose on June 5-9

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Apple's yearly World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC) will move to San Jose on June 5 to 9 of this year. WWDC had been held at the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco for decades, and while many speculated that the Apple Campus 2 would be finished in time to host this year's dev and engineer pow-wow, it seems the mothership isn't ready to accept the thousands of participants yet.

Instead, WWDC 2017 will take place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, closer to the companys headquarters. WWDC 2017 will give developers access to more than 1,000 Apple engineers with opportunities to meet and engage with them throughout the conference.

I review a lot of family-friendly vehicles and the 2016 Mazda MX-5 definitely doesn’t belong in that category. This spunky roadster is what I call a ‘sanity-friendly’ ride, when you just need some peace and quiet… there’s no room for backseat passengers!

Uber finally finds its way to Android Wear 2.0

It was promised back in Google I/O 2015 and it took a full 21 months but it’s finally here. Uber now has a standalone app on Android Wear 2.0. You don’t need to have the app installed on your phone to get it to run. You can request rides right from your wrist. Select bookmarked destinations such as your work and home. The app also lets you check prices, ETAs as well as your driver’s progress and what his or her car model and plate number is. And yes, you can follow the ride inside the car, too. The downside is the app is only available for Android Wear 2.0, which means if you don’t have one, you still don’t get the app. You can install it from the Play Store right on your smartwatch.
