Pizza Hut Launches Box That Turns Into A Projector
The box, once emptied of its delicious content, lets you place your smartphone inside, at the ideal distance from an included lens. This lens comes attached to the plastic device that prevents the box from getting crushed in transit. The plastic device itself doubles as the phone stand. So all you have to do is poke the precut hole in the front, fit the lens, prop your phone up inside, and aim at your screen (which could simply be your wall!). There’s a code on the side for customers to scan and unlock viewable content, should there be nothing interesting on their devices.
The Blockbuster Box is the work of Ad agency Ogilvy & Mather Group HK and their Chief Creative Officer Reed Collins, and comes in four styles: “from the horror themed Slice Night, sci-fi spectacle Anchovy Armageddon, bizarrely romantic Hot and Ready, and the thrilling Fully Loaded.” It’s Hong Kong only at the moment, but we suspect this may become popular enough to spread worldwide.
Check out Reed’s Website for more…

Inspiration Truck
The Freightliner “Inspiration Truck” will be the first autonomous commercial truck to drive on American roads. Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and Daimler Chairman Wolfgang Bernhard just bolted on its Autonomous Vehicle license plate to prove it’s the real deal, and it’s already been spotted in action.
Big rigs might seem a little old-school in an era where everything travels by carrier drone– oh wait, it doesn’t. The American Trucking Associations says trucks moved 68.5 percent of all domestic freight tonnage in 2012 and Bernhard thinks current road freight volumes will triple by 2050.
In a Q&A session, Bernhard has explained that the Inspiration Truck will still have a driver, but that person’s purpose will be solely to monitor the truck’s systems and intervene in the event of a malfunction.
The truck requires no special hypothetical infrastructure, and it’s able to read road signs and traffic signals on its own.

Apollo 13 Crew immortalized
April 10, 2015 was actually the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 near-disaster, and to commemorate the occasion UK-based Minifigs.me created tiny Lego versions of the three astronauts involved: James Lovell, Fred Haise, Jack Swigert. But also flight director Gene Kranz who played an important role in getting Apollo 13 home safely.
The astronauts are available in a set of three for about $57, or they can be purchased individually for about $20 each. A little pricey, but remember these aren’t officially from Lego. These are custom-made minifigs with highly-accurate spacesuits and likenesses as close to the real astronauts as possible.
The $24 Gene Kranz figure also comes with his iconic flattop haircut, and a tiny version of the Apollo 13 flight plan.

RIP Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)
In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula and others designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series.
From such humble beginings, a legend was born… Jobs was the driving force behind the Macintosh (seeing potential in the mouse-driven GUI); founded NeXT after leaving Apple; aquired a little Lucasfilm’s computer graphics division (which became Pixar), and returned to Apple and become CEO. When Pixar was aquired by Disney, he became Disney’s largest individual shareholder ever.
