AWS Releases Free Emulator for Testing Apps Without Touching the Cloud

With Craft, Canva Turns Its Design Templates Into an AI Advantage Over Adobe
For the past year, Canva has worked to become what it calls a creative operating system: a single platform where AI, design, and productivity come together.

Thirty years ago at the Chicago Auto Show, General Motors introduced OnStar, an optional in-vehicle service that paired a built-in cell phone and GPS satellite technology with round-the-clock access to a live advisor.
