Micro Drone 2.0: RC Quadcopter

The Micro Drone Quadrocopter is an amazingly agile remote control helicopter that offers unprecedented stability, superb speed, and an all-around awesome remote control experience. It can even perform 360 degree somersaults at the push of a button! Interested? Well the quadrocopter isn't just a fun remote control toy - there are plenty of other things you can do with it too. Here are the first ten we thought of:

(N.B. Gadget Inspector will not be held responsible for any damage that you, your quadrocopter, or anything else sustains while following the advice of this silly list.) 

  1. Put the micro drone between two slices of bread, serve it to a friend under the pretence of making them a tasty sandwich, and give them a shock by making the drone fly away when they're about to take a bite.

  2. Place a small action figure on top of the quadrocopter, fly up to a reasonable height, and perform a flip to toss your brave hero into Felix Baumgartner-esque freefall.

  3. Hover your micro drone as close to your friend's head as you can while simultaneously dodging their increasingly irritated attempts to swat it away.

  4. Find a decent-sized pond and see if you can make your quadrocopter 'hop' from lily pad to lily pad without getting it wet.

  5. Fly it into the wall.

  6. Use some string to tie a £20 note to your micro drone. Leave it in a public place (conceal the drone as best you can) and lie in wait for someone to spot the money. When they try to pick it up, make the drone fly away, cash in tow.

  7. Wear it as a jaunty and futuristic-looking hat.

  8. Fit your quadrocopter with some sort of laser-based firearm and use this agile, airborne weapon to TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

  9. Hold the micro drone above your head and get your friend (if you still have one) to man the controls. All being well, you should take flight; if you don't, it probably means that you need to lose some weight.

  10. Fly it around like some kind of cool remote control helicopter.

10 Reasons Why a Dead iPhone Battery is the Worst Thing Ever

Once you go red, you'll wish you were dead.


Is there any sight more feared in the modern world?

1) iPhones choose the worst moments to die.


In the middle of an important conversation? On the brink of conquering that one really difficult level on Two Dots? Halfway through a juicy text to your BFF? Not any more - your battery just ran out!

 

2) You can never find your charger when you need it...

"Okay, it's not in that drawer either...maybe I left it in work?"

 

3) ...and if you do find it, you'll have to untangle it from a mass of other cables.


Remember: frustrated tugging just makes it worse.

 

4) Untangled your charger? Well done! But there are no spare plug sockets - what will you unplug to make room?


"Okay...I can't unplug the internet, or the phone...I'm gonna watch TV while my phone charges, so that needs to stay...I could unplug the toaster, but what if I suddenly start craving Pop Tarts?"

 

5) Once you've plugged your phone in, you have to wait a few minutes for it to turn on again.

And it feels like an eternity.

 

6) And that's when it starts - that horrible sense of existential hopelessness that sets in when you can't use your phone.

*muffled sobbing*

 

7) Even when your phone does come back to life, you have to sit right next to the outlet if you want to use it.


You might as well be cuffed to the radiator. This is the 21st century, dammit - why can't Apple give us a cable that's longer than a few inches?!

 

8) Of course, you could unplug it...but if you do that, you'll be out of battery again within a few minutes.


And then you'll be right back to square one.

 

9) Having gone a short while without your iPhone, you'll now have ten billion notifications to wade through...

And you'll have no peace of mind until you've read every. Single. One.

 

10) ...or, worse still, you'll have zero notifications to wade through.

And you'll wonder why you even bother.
