These DIY iPhone Speakers are Genius
#1 The Horn
Not an easy one to construct, but this horn based speaker system is classic, stylish, and effective. So grab the french horn from 5th grade band class that's sitting in your basement, cut a hole in the top, and run a tube from the mouthpiece to your makeshift dock.
VIDEO: Amazon Testing 'Octocoper' Drone Deliveries
The future is bright, the future is a drone delivering Amazon packages to your door.
Amazon is trying out delivering packages using unmanned drones called Octocopters (no relation to ), founder Jeff Bezos said on CBS program ‘60 Minutes’ on Sunday.
The craft, which looks like a barbecue with propellers, could deliver packages weighing up to five pounds (2.3kg), which make up 86% of Amazon orders, Bezos said. The ‘Prime Air’ service is being designed to deliver items within a 10-mile radius of distribution centers in half an hour or less.
‘I know this looks like science fiction, but it's not,’ Bezos said. We might get to pretend to be Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games getting a gift floated into the arena, but the Bezos’ announcement also looks suspiciously timed to coincide with online shopping blowout . Bezos is going to have a really sad Christmas if Amazon doesn’t beat the 41 sales per second it made in the UK last year...
Civilian airspace is yet to be opened up , unmanned drones, but could be populated with Amazon’s flying spiders by 2015 in the US and 2016 in Europe.
Dr Darren Ansell, an expert on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the University of Central Lancashire, pointed out some pretty obvious potential flaws in Amazon’s plan to the BBC: ‘With no one to guard them the aircraft and package could be captured and stolen,’ Ansell said.
‘The UAVs do not currently have the awareness of their environment to be able to avoid flying into people,’ Ansell added. And birds. Won’t somebody please think of the birds?
