Sundar Pichai grants this co-founder's calendar wish, now everyone can copy-paste meetings
The new method allows users to hold down the Ctrl key (or Cmd on Mac) and drag an event to another time slot in the Day, Week, or Month view, instantly creating a copy. This makes scheduling recurring or similar meetings faster and more convenient.Previously, duplicating an event required opening it, navigating to the three-dot menu, and selecting the duplicate option, a process that involved multiple clicks. By comparison, the new shortcut can be done in seconds without opening any menus.However, the feature is not available in all Calendar views. Users in Schedule or Year view will not be able to use the drag-and-duplicate function because those layouts do not allow direct manipulation of events. For now, the shortcut works only in views where events can be moved or resized directly.Collison's successful request quickly became a talking point on X, with other tech figures joining in on the fun. Box CEO Aaron Levie jokingly asked him to use his influence to get Waymo's self-driving cars to improve services on El Camino Real, a busy stretch in Silicon Valley notorious for traffic jams. For regular Google Calendar users, the new shortcut may not be groundbreaking, but it's a small change that can save time and make scheduling a little smoother.- Ends

Pixel 10 5G mobile: Google teases new AI features ahead of August 21 launch
Google is hosting the 'Made by Google' event in two days to introduce the new Pixel 10 lineup. As the launch approaches, the Mountain View giant is sharing back-to-back teasers to reveal the Pixel 10 models and design. However, in a recent teaser, Google hints towards new and more personal AI-powered capabilities. Well, looking at Google's progress in advancing AI, there is no doubt that the company is running neck-to-neck or ahead of other competitors. As Google is significantly advancing its AI capabilities for smartphones, Apple is being highlighted for delaying promised AI features. Therefore, if you want to experience the power of an AI phone, know what Google might bring to the Pixel 10 series, based on the recent video teaser. Google Pixel 10 series teaser revealed expected AI features such as Super Res Zoom, Add Me, and more.(Screengrab/Google) Google Pixel 10 AI features: What to expect In a recent Google teaser for the Pixel 10 series launch, the tech giant teased a couple of AI-powered features in a new 28-second video. The teaser consisted of a few questions, highlighting a couple of smartphone camera capabilities, but with an AI twist. The teaser starts with the first 'What if your phone could do things other phones couldn't?', then it gives a few examples of features like 'What if the camera could get super, super, super close while being really, really, really far?', this statement gives hints to the anticipated Super Res Zoom feature. This camera AI feature will reportedly use AI and computational photography to improve the zoom quality of the Pixel 10 models. Another question in the video goes by, 'What if you could be in the group photo even if you snapped the group photo?' This feature hints towards the previously announced 'Add Me' feature that smartly adds the photographer to a group photo using AI. To end the video, Google adds a quirky line that says, 'While you used to be on the other side of the camera, now the camera is on your side.' This not only adds curiosity among fans but also creates higher expectations for new AI-powered additions. Now, to know about Google's new AI additions, we will have to wait until the 'Made by Google' event, which is scheduled for August 21, at 10:30 PM IST. During the event, the company is expected to announce several new hardware products, such as the Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4, and the affordable Pixel Buds 2a.

Volvo India Added New Electric Mid-Size SUV To Fleet, Check Expected Price And Launch Details
Last Updated: Interested customers will be able to pre-book the EV from August 20, 2025, by paying a fully refundable token amount. The Swedish carmaker Volvo has been making efforts in the Indian market to enhance its product line lately. To capture the mass market, the company has introduced a new offering called EX30, an electric mid-size SUV. The model is scheduled to be launched in the country by the end of September, while deliveries are expected to start at the beginning of October this year. Interested customers will be able to pre-book the EV from August 20, 2025, by paying a fully refundable token amount. Expected Price The company has not revealed the price details as of now. However, it is highly expected that it might fall somewhere between Rs 45 lakh to Rs 50 lakh. Scroll down to see the road, presence, and some of the important key details of EX30. Road Presence Aesthetically, EX30 comes with the company's signature style statement from the front fascia, featuring a futuristic, fully LED headlight setup, paired with integrated DRLs. The road presence surely is a head-turner, a big thanks to sloping rooflines and bold yet sophisticated design from the outside. At the rear, the company tried something experimental, and somehow succeeded by giving a latest design taillight with a connected light bar. Chrome-finished 'Volvo' lettering has been given at the centre, while EX-30 badging shines below on the left side. Features When it comes to the features, the list is quite long. From a massive panoramic sunroof to active high beam to NFC key card, it has it all. To make it as militaristic as possible, the brand has used only a single display unit that controls almost everything inside the cabin. Battery, Power, Range, And Top Speed At the heart, EX30 comes with a 69 kWh single motor version only. It will be offered in a rear-wheel drive system, which will generate a maximum power of 268 BHP and a robust 343 Nm of peak torque. These figures allow the EV to do a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 5.3 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h. As far as the range is concerned, the company claims that the battery is powerful enough to offer an impressive WLTP range of 480 km on a single charge.

Indian-origin man fired by Elon Musk makes a comeback with ₹260 crore AI startup
Former Twitter chief executive Parag Agrawal, who was dismissed by Elon Musk following his $44 billion takeover of the platform in 2022, has re-emerged with a bold new venture. The Indian-origin technologist has launched Parallel Web Systems Inc., a Palo Alto-based startup building infrastructure tools for artificial intelligence companies. Agrawal, who began his career as a Twitter engineer before rising to CEO in 2021, kept a low profile after being removed when Musk.(ICPC News) A ₹ 260 crore bet on AI infrastructure Founded in 2023, Parallel has already raised $30 million (around ₹260 crore) from prominent investors, including Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, and Index Ventures, according to Bloomberg and TechCrunch. The startup's mission is to help AI systems conduct large-scale research across the web, a core challenge as demand for real-time, high-quality data accelerates. Mobile finder: Google Pixel 10 series launching later this week Agrawal, who began his career as a Twitter engineer before rising to CEO in 2021, kept a low profile after being removed when Musk restructured the company, now rebranded as X. His return with Parallel marks a significant shift, from leading a social media giant to building the digital backbone for AI research. Parallel's focus on 'web intelligence' In a recent LinkedIn post, Agrawal described Parallel's goal as enabling companies to harness 'web intelligence' for their products. He noted that the platform already powers millions of research tasks daily for startups and enterprises. One unnamed public company, he claimed, has integrated Parallel's system to automate workflows previously handled by humans, achieving results 'exceeding human-level accuracy.' The company's tools are designed to plug directly into AI platforms and agents, giving them the ability to retrieve, organise, and analyse online information at scale. This functionality is increasingly vital as chatbots, virtual assistants, and enterprise AI products rely on dynamic web data rather than static training sets. A comeback in Silicon Valley's AI race For Agrawal, Parallel is more than a business, it's a comeback. His short and turbulent tenure at Twitter ended abruptly in late 2022, when Musk dismissed top executives after completing the acquisition. With Parallel, he is repositioning himself as a founder in one of the fastest-growing segments of the AI industry. Still, competition looms large. Parallel will face rivals offering retrieval APIs, as well as AI model developers building similar capabilities in-house. Yet, with strong investor backing, early traction, and Agrawal's technical reputation, the startup has already drawn attention as one of Silicon Valley's most ambitious AI bets in 2025.
