hey guys my name is Steven be German you're just happening this week on CNET scrape block the genie scale is a small portable stylish scale that can weigh just about anything the scale connects via bluetooth with a smartphone app and does a lot more than just weigh things the app can be used for weight and health management to make sure you're not overeating it can be used to alert you when your dinner is done or if your child got out of bed you can use multiple Genie scales to weigh larger objects like boats luggage yourself and just about anything that you put on the scale the scale is small enough to fit in your purse so no need to bring that large awkward bathroom scale around with you anymore and the scale seems to be almost indestructible according to what I saw in the video and it is water-resistant and washable just in case you make a mess wing weird things the Genie scale is currently raising funds on Kickstarter with a goal of a hundred and ten thousand dollars to start production but it can be yours for an early-bird pledge of $69 this pothole in Panama City might have more Twitter followers than you it definitely has more than me Panama's daily news show telemetry o reporte installed a number of sensors inside pot holes throughout Panama City which went run over by a car would send an automatic tweet to the Ministry of Public Works alerting them of the pothole location and the damage caused for example one tweet read I feel terrible I just caused tire damage to an old lady's car the Twitter account is called elf wacko twit Cairo which means the tweeting pothole and has become very popular because victims of the potholes feel like it's a good place to voice their complaints and share photos of existing potholes while the tweets did in fact work in the city began repairing potholes that were made public by the tweeting pothole campaign this is such a good example of how technology can help solve a common problem and definitely way better than Whang see the street artist who paints penises over potholes in Manchester to get the city to fix them actually he's pretty cool too people will risk their lives impossible decapitation to ride a speeder bike like the ones we saw in Return of the Jedi and that is exactly what a group of Hungarian flight enthusiasts are doing with this flying tricycle that looks extremely dangerous to me the flight or flying bike is a coaxial Y 6 layout tricopter and has six spinning blades just a few feet away from your head it is equipped with a full authority flight management computer that manages flight stability and altitude making the flight as easy as riding a bicycle according to the project website now we've seen other hover bike prototypes like the air effects which hovers on two large shielded fans so the technology is progressing and who knows maybe by the year 2020 we will all be cruising around on hover bikes crashing into each other and blowing leaves and garbage all over the place and getting decapitated the United States Army is testing out palm-sized PD 100 black Hornet drones that easily launch from a utility belt the drone weighs 18 grams it is equipped with both regular HD and thermal cameras for spotting the enemy up ahead the BB 100 black Hornet drones are a product of procs dynamics out of Norway which has already deployed a number of the drones to British forces in Afghanistan the drone has a flight time of about 25 minutes and can be piloted with one hand using a small controller or it can be programmed to fly to a specific coordinate on a map if you think these are cool little consumer drones then think again the PD 100 black Hornet drone sells for $40,000 apiece but it does come with this fancy launching pad read more about the black Hornet drone in
