Google Glass got an update?
This week, for the first time in 3 years, the Google Glass companion app called “MyGlass” received an update. It killed some bugs and added bluetooth functionality meaning that the new “XE23” firmware version of Google Glass (which is also an update) can added a plethora of bluetooth devices such as a mouse and keyboard.
Despite Google shutting down the website and removing them from sale to consumers, the Google Glass is now available to buy as a business on enterprise, so it’s kinda still alive.

Organika iPhone Cases
Producer Bill got to test organic iPhone cases by MMore, this past week and he was impressed! They’re a hard, silicone case, complete with an outer edge that’s slightly raised to protect the screen from falls.
Their cases are really unique and are made from organic pressed materials which are then handcrafted and put together by artists, plus some even smell great too! (Rose, Jasmine, Coffee)

Is there such a thing as ‘flying ant day’?
The question has been posed: Does flying Ant day Exist?
A new study claims to have cracked the case! Professor Hart who was one of the authors on a report discussing this, explained that although you can not predict the British summertime weather you can you can guarantee that flying ants will make their annual appearance at some point.
The domestic ant we’re used to seeing do not have wings and are busy working to even take time out for a flight, but theses ants are simply female worker-ants who keep things ticking over to make sure the colony survives and grows.
Using a pest control expert like the guys over at Pest Control Experts https://www.pestcontrolexperts.com/exterminator/new-york/ is a great way to help eliminate pests from your home of business, as they have great experience and would be able to do it quickly and effectively to prevent the issue from occurring again.
Flying ants on the other hand are important for the species to survive.
Once the colony has grown it stops investing time into growth and starts investing in reproduction. The worker ants cannot start a new colony; for that you have to be the fertile, “queen” ant that has mated with a male from a different colony.
The flying ants we see in the summer are these potential new female queens and male ants embarking on a mating flight.
The machine that could sell alcohol and ammo
Alcohol, ammo and weed on tap
A new vending machine could be on the American market soon. A vending machine fitted with biometric security has been developed which will be used to dispense a variety of restricted goods including alcohol, ammunition and cannabis.
The ‘secure’ device will use the customers veins in their fingers to identify if that person has the right to buy that product.
It will obviously only be available in states where it is legal to buy cannabis and several are already available in California.
A member of the Advisory board said although it’s gone through vigourous tests but as it’s connected to the internet it could still be vulnerable to hackers.
Concerns raised are: will there be a limit on how much can you buy and who will be regulating this????
