Because dating wasn't already stressful... Tinder-owner Match wants to make it apocalyptic. To give you a reason to ditch Bumble and to boost engagement from people already swiping-right, Tinder launched "Swipe Night": a make-your-own-adventure interactive show. The 4-episode mini-series starts 10/6 within the Tinder app, and each episode expires after 6 hours. Your decisions determine your love destiny.

Zuck's coming over... Facebook unleashed a $149 Portal TV — a streaming device that doesn't include the Netflix app. Portal TV is all about a camera that tracks your movements for "Watch Together": Enjoy streaming that Facebook Watch show while your remote friends watch simultaneously on your screen. Privacy? A little dongle you slide to block the camera.

When you need emergency Nyquil ASAP... Google hears ya. So its drone company, Wing, just partnered up with Walgreens and a couple other brands for a 1st-of-its-kind delivery option. The team will start drone delivering pills, prescriptions, and whatever's on the shelf in Virginia starting next month. Over 75% of Americans live within 5 miles of a Walgreens, and the Department of Transportation has green-lighted this pilot.
