Domino's Delivery Robot

     Domino's has come up with the idea of a Domino's Robot Unit (DRU) to deliver pizzas straight to the customer's home. The DRU can go up to 12 miles an hour and is a four-wheeled bot. It also uses sensors to avoid any obstacles that can be in its way. The DRU keeps your food at the right temperature and has different compartments for drinks. There are also cameras installed in said compartments just in case the food gets stolen so the customer may receive a refund.

iPhone 7 may be shipped with wireless earbuds

Apple has been granted a patent for new, wireless earbuds which may be delivered with the new iPhone 7. The earbuds can be used without a wire but still come with a wire that magnetically connects the earbuds to the iPhone. Since the headphone jacks aren't completely going away because not every device has Bluetooth, they are made to be detachable. The headphones are wireless when you want them to be and they have a wire when you need one. The patent doesn't necessarily mean that the earbuds will ship with the new iPhone, it's just an assumption. The headphones were last updated in March of 2012 so they require an update.
