The arrival of the Nest Cam device was somewhat expected, if we remember that Nest, which was founded by two former Apple people, recently bought the company DropCam. Nest has already controlled your home heating thermostat and detected smoke and carbon monoxide, and the Nest Cam also keeps an eye on the house like a watchdog. It is a direct descendant of the DropCam Pro camera, but slimmer, with a resolution of 1080p (the predecessor was capable of 720p), with a night view and an online service that allows you to follow the action anywhere in the world.

You have one in your drawer, right? The poor, neglected iPhone 4S, which served you faithfully all, sorry, all year. How can you be so heartless as to leave your once most faithful companion unattended in a dark room the minute a younger smartphone comes by, when it could be proudly shining or playing music on your desk. Thanks to designer Ivan Zhurba, this is now possible, as he has developed a lamp that lures old iPhones out of dormancy and uses them as a light and speaker.
Like the great architects, the greatest film directors also have their own recognizable signature, something by which they are instantly recognized. This was proven by the artist and architect Federico Babino from Barcelona, who imagined what the houses would look like if famous directors were architects.

And for an architect, the solutions are absolutely phenomenal, just as their films are phenomenal.
