Amazon has bought a doctor's office network 

The giant bought One Medical for $3.9 billion - it's third biggest acquisition yet. 

For $199 a year One Medical offers guaranteed the same or next day doctors' visits, 24/7 telehealth, waiting rooms that feel more like hotel lobbies and on-site labs. 

Amazon has been getting more into the health space - the doctor's office is now in addition to a pharmacy, devices to track your health, grocery stores for your food, an online store for exercise equipment, and even streaming devices for at-home workouts.  

With all these acquisitions, is Amazon a tech company anymore?  

Twitter v Elon Musk will be in court this year 

A five-day trial will be happening in a Delaware court in October. Twitter asked the courts to fast-track the trial. Musk wanted it in February next year - which he says already is fast. The Judge though said the longer the delay the greater the risk to Twitter.
