How To Stop The World's Next Epidemic

Remember, about a year ago everyone was worried about Ebola destroying humanity? Scientists already made the vaccine.

It took only 10 months.

Scientists used new techniques to swap proteins from Ebola and other viruses, which allows people to become automatically immune.

Health workers in Guinea gave 4,000 adults the vaccine who had been in contact with people with Ebola. All of them survived.

That technique will be later used to develop new emergency vaccines in the future.

The Selfie Drone That Never Was

Taking a photo with a drone can be pretty hard. I mean, trying to fly these can end up with them crashing to the concrete.

That's why the Torquing Group designed the Zano - a drone that tracks you doing random things.

Zano films you by following your smartphone. So it has a second purpose - if you lose your phone outside the house, just look up at the sky and look where the drone is hovering.

When you do activities outside like biking, rock-climbing or just chilling at the beach, the drone will use its GPS and pressure sensor to navigate its way to you and snap a pic or two.

Everyone loved it. Kickstarter ate it up and Zano got 2.3 million euros for it. And then issues started to appear.

They couldn't meet their stretch goals. The factory in China creating the parts was late. The drones that did ship crashed into walls or took awful photos. Then they disappeared and filed for bankrupcy. Forever.

Zano was gone.

Kickstarter is a really good idea. Many people love to fund projects, and much of the time the backers get their product.

Once I funded a Kickstarter project too. I shelled out around $25 for the project and guess what? It never came.

Kickstarter needs to force their projects to be more accountable. Many backers of the Zano never got their refund.

What do you think? Would you fund a Kickstarter project after hearing about this? What do you think about the Zano?

The Fitbit Of Jumpropes: The Tangram Smart Rope

The Tangram Jumprope: The Fitbit of smartwatches.

It comes in this nice case:

It's designed especially to be comfortable, using 45 degree angles. The handles are designed so they don't get in the way and they are easy to hold.


The smart rope also connects to Smart Gym - where you can track stats on your jumprope workout like rope count, interval training and awards. SmartGym is kind of like a Fitbit app.



The app is really nicely designed. They have daily competitions with your friends, awards (ex. Bronze - 10000 jumps) and awesome interval training.

It costs around the same amount as a Fitbit - $80-90.

It's a pretty sweet jumprope. But when are you going to use a jumprope? Like seriously, when will you use it? Maybe a couple times in the morning, but you won't use it all day?

Overall, I think the Smartrope is a great concept, has amazing design but how much demand will there be for a smart rope? How many professional jump ropers do you know? Only 9 people reviewed it but they seemed to like it.

Would you buy a Smartrope if it was a little cheaper or would you buy it at this price? Comment in the comment section below!

The Raspberry Pi Zero: A $5 Computer

Raspberry Pi Zero - the $5 computer.

It sold out on its first weekend available and everybody seemed to want one. I mean, who wouldn't? It's a $5 computer!

It comes with a Micro SD slot, a mini HDMI socket, a 1GHz ARM11 core and micro-USB slots. It runs Raspbian and can run games for Linux like CSGO, TF2 and Rust.

MagPi was giving away free ones when you bought their magazine but that stopped.

Unfortunately, you have to buy a Raspberry Pi Zero from a Raspberry Pi distributor instead of online.

If they were more easily accessible, would you buy one? Comment in the comment section below!

The Click'N'Pizza: The Paragon of Human Kind

The Click'N'Pizza.

Invented by La Comanda, this company has strived and put in long hours so you can order a pizza with this thing. Seriously. You can set it with your favorite pizza and press the button and BOOM! Pizza ordered and pizza delivered. You can also select different toppings by turning the Click'N'Pizza. Promo'N'Click helps you order from different promotions (such as the Pizza Hut Big Dinner Box).

Amazing. Click'N'Pizza can also stick on your fridge, so whenever you want to impulse buy, just do it and think about the check later.

Here's some concept images of the Click'N'Pizza.

4 Features The New Galaxy S7 Has That The iPhone 6 Doesn't

The Samsung Galaxy S7 vs the iPhone 6. Not much of a competition yet, as the S7 outpaces the iPhone 6 by far. But special features? Here's 7 things the Galaxy S7 has that the iPhone 6 doesn't.

1. The S7 is waterproof.

When you drop your phone in water, it survives. This one probably isn't a surprise as you've probably already seen Samsung's water commercials. But still - it's nice. Once, I left my phone (a Samsung S6) out when it rained on accident and it survived. (It also covered my friend's iPhone 5c, which saved it too). Anyways, having a waterproof phone is more helpful than you'd think.

2. The S7 charges wirelessly.

The S7 can charge without "plugging in". You can just set your phone down on a wireless charging dock and it will charge.

3. The S7 has removable storage.

Regret picking the 16GB model? You can buy removable storage for your S7. Pretty neat.

4. Dual-Pixel Camera Technology

It makes your phone's camera faster and better in low-light environments.

Scientists Just Invented Ice Cream That Melts Super-Slowly

Picture yourself eating a cone of soft-serve at the beach when suddenly it starts melting all over your hands. You're forced to eat it fast and that makes you not enjoy it as much. What a drip, right?

Science in the UK have discovered a protein called BsIA that makes the ice cream smoother and more resistant to melting.

The scientists are now trying to find new ways to use the protein as well but they are also pursuing making their slow-melting ice cream a commercial venture as well.

What do you think? Would you buy the slow-melting ice cream at grocery stores? Comment in the comment section below!

How To Run Windows Apps On A Mac!

How To Run Windows Apps On A Mac

There's a couple of different ways to run a Windows application on your Mac. One of the main techniques used is WINE. But Wine is more difficult to use, so someone created WineBottler, which makes WINE more simple to use.

Here are the steps you can use to run Windows on Mac.

1. Download WineBottler.

Download WineBottler from the site. It will go to a spam site, so if you get a suspicious link DO NOT CLICK ON IT. Click (SKIP AD) when it shows up and then exit one of the windows saying "Download this". Go to the WineBottler site and click "Download" if it doesn't work in 5 seconds. Download the app and open it when it is finished

2. Drag it to your Applications folder.

Drag WineBottler and Wine.

3. Try opening your .exe Windows file now. Click on it.

It should work and you should be able to run your apps on it!
