The music streaming app is partnering with the Google-owned navigation app to let users access the features of both services.
The Waze and Spotify apps are set to perform a duet of sorts.
Music and driving go hand in hand, and now so do two major music and driving apps.
On Tuesday, Spotify and Waze announced new updates that let users of each app access features from either app.
For example, if you’ve got both Waze, which is owned by Google, and Spotify installed on your phone, you can get driving directions straight from the Spotify app. And vice versa: You can also get Spotify playlists directly on the Waze app.
If your phone senses the car is at a complete stop, you can also toggle between both of the apps with one tap.
For Waze, which Google bought in 2013 for $1 billion, the news is minor. But it’s the latest expansion for the app, which is reportedly testing a ride-sharing service in some cities in the United States and Latin America.
For now the Waze and Spotify integrations are only for phones running Android, Google’s mobile software. For iPhone users, « We’ll keep you posted, » Waze said.

Sony’s PlayStation Now game streaming service is pretty similar to the GeForce Now service that Nvidia offers. You pay $20 a month to play PS3 games on the PS4 or PC via OnLive -style streaming. Today, Sony announced that it’s adding the ability to play PS4 games on the service , something that could make it pretty interesting for PC gamers that don’t want to shell out for console hardware.
This upgrade to PlayStation Now could be a response to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass announcement. That service is scheduled to debut later this Spring and will allow Xbox gamers to pay $10 a month to download and play Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even original Xbox games. Unlike PS Now, the Xbox Game Pass isn’t available for PCs, but it’s also not based on streaming, allowing for local game downloads.
You can already play PS3 games on the PS4 and PC using Playstation Now, so if you missed some classics from last generation, that might be a good way to enjoy them. Besides a vague « later this year », Sony didn’t say when PS4 games (or which of them) will be hitting the service.

However, the company has made it very clear that no « Twitter account credentials (passwords) » or « credit card information » has been compromised, as the company does not store this information on users.

Forbes appears to have regained access to their Twitter accounts, but are still in the process of getting fully restored. For instance, Forbes Twitter account has an egg avatar, at the time of writing.
How To Protect Your Twitter Account

If you have ever used Twitter Counter, you should:
Go to « Settings and Privacy.  » Click on the « Apps » section. Revoke the third-party access to Twitter Counter. Remove old apps that are no longer in use or ones you don’t recognise.
Also, if you haven’t yet, you are strongly advised to enable two-factor authentication on your account via the account settings section of Twitter. This will help you protect your accounts against password attacks in the future.
Besides enabling 2FA, always choose a strong password for your accounts. If you are unable to create and remember different passwords for each site, you can use a good password manager.
