And while we joke about Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in memes and on Twitter, it's impossible to ignore how Dickensian their feuding has become, and how much of a moral affront it is to the rest of the world. Mic /gadget BORED? GET A HOBBY Are you a budding photographer or videographer? Perhaps you're a techie looking for a hobby that'll get you out of the house and encompass your love of scientific ingenuity? Look no further than a drone. Yup, drones are the latest technological craze that is literally taking over the skies. IFLScience /ai BEFORE ASTRO, THESE WERE THE ROBOTS PEOPLE INVITED HOME Amazon announced its Astro home robot on Monday, which is designed to be an Alexa on wheels that can also bring you stuff (if other people load it into the cargo bay) and act as a sort of guard dog.

[Partner] /interior @brookeholm /vice 'MISSING' DRUNK MAN SPENT HOURS HELPING A SEARCH PARTY LOOK FOR HIMSELF A missing man in Turkey accidentally joined his own search party and looked for himself for hours before he realised he was the target of the rescue mission. When news of the missing man got out, efforts to find him intensified in nearby neighbourhoods, with a large group of volunteers joining the mission. This search party was calling out Mutlu's name for hours when suddenly a man from within the group spoke up and reportedly said: "Who are we looking for? I am here."
