Android Wear just got very, very smart

Google's Android Wear software just got smart - very smart - simply because it integrates Google Now top to bottom. With an update to Google Now comes an update to Android Wear, and what we're seeing today is an explosive update that'll make the suggestions for directions and sports scores you've been getting so far seem like drops in a barrel of friendly, and I daresay helpful, updates from apps of all kinds.

  Google Drive has unofficial clients available for Linux, but there hasn't been an official one released by Google. That may be about to change as a couple of screenshots have leaked, according to WebUpd8.

• gmail-attachment-downloader: You don’t want to know

  To complicate things I got two tips via e-mail, one from Rashid and one from Lewis, mentioning gmail-attachment-downloader.
