This Phone Case Is a Flying DRONE #SELFLY

AEE Aviation Technology's Selfly is a phone case that turns into a drone. Your first question is probably “does it fly with the phone in the case?” The answer is no. Which is undoubtedly for the best, since I don't think it would do a very good job of protecting your phone when its battery runs out after four minutes. Even though it is a case.

Anyway, by no means is this a practical product, but it is a great example of how drone technology — 1080p video cameras and all — is trickling down to entirely unrelated, inexpensive gadgets. Maybe one day everything will have retractable propellers. The Selfly will be available sometime this quarter for $130; that price includes two batteries

Here’s how to find out what build—and edition and version—of Windows 10 you’re running.Windows has always used build numbers. They represent significant updates to Windows. Traditionally, most people have referred to Windows based on the major, named version they’re using—Windows Vista, 7, 8, and so on. Within those versions, we also had service packs to refer to: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, for example. With Windows 10, things have changed a bit. For one thing, Microsoft claims there will be no more new versions of Windows—Windows 10 is here to stay.
