The brand new magic floating lightbulb.

     The technology that powers the Flyte floating light bulb isn’t particularly exotic. Magnets keep the bulb floating about an inch above its base which features a hidden inductive coil to wirelessly powers the bulb’s LEDs. But it’s the sum of its parts: a light bulb that appears to magically float and glow without any wires attached to it, is just plain cool.

     Nokia's plans for their new smartphones

     The Finnish company sold off its devices and services division to Microsoft back in 2014, which left Nokia to focus on mapping, networking and managing patents. Microsoft currently has a clause in place to continue using the Nokia branding until next year, and when this expires Nokia would be in a position to start executing smartphone plans. Unfortunately, there are no details on what the company has in the works, or more importantly what software the new hardware will support. The company will need to double efforts on new products, and not simply rely on third-parties like Foxconn to produce unremarkable hardware like the N1, though it's expected Nokia will continue to work with license deals instead of manufacturing devices in-house.
