Google Glass wearers were treated to some new features with this month’s XE10 update, but what’s hiding under the hood might be even more promising.

If you just ordered a book from textbook rental start-up Zookal, look skyward.
Zookal has partnered with aerial-technology startup Flirtey (a joint venture between Zookal and Vimbra) to start delivering its packages to customers via unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as of next year. The technology they’re using, the companies say, was previously only available to the military and to universities.
As of March 2014, customers within 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) of Sydney’s central business district will be able to arrange free delivery by air from one of six hexacopters. They will have to order delivery to an outdoor area, and the drone will find the customer based on GPS coordinates sent from an Android app (an iOS app will be built after the program is launched). The UAV will hover over the location and lower the textbooks on a retractable cable, allowing the customer to detach the parcel and the drone to be on its way. The entire process could take as little as two or three minutes.
If the customer isn’t there, the textbooks won’t be lowered; the customer will have to hit a button on the app to lower the parcel. The drone will wait a short time for the command before flying away, and delivery will have to be rescheduled.

KISS your buns? With pleasure but for a limited time only, and it’ll cost you 100 yen each time. We’re talking about the KISS Super-Spicy Chili Tomatoman meat buns on sale at Japan’s Circle K Sunkus convenience stores of course, a tasteful promotion seeking to boost awareness of Gene Simmons and the band’s upcoming Japanese tour.
As ubiquitous as Wi-Fi and mobile data have become, there are still times when you’ll find yourself completely cut off from any and all wireless networks. And inevitably those will be the times when you need to transfer files between a tablet or a smartphone and your laptop. Bluetooth can work in a pinch, but when time is of the essence, ADATA’s new DashDrive flash drive plays nice with both USB and microUSB ports.

Programs like Notepad++ have features that let you quickly manipulate bodies of text, which is something that can be really useful. Unfortunately these features are always restricted to the app you’re using making them only marginally useful compared to what they could be.
Dolphin Text Editor Menu is a great app that bridges the gap by providing a lot of text manipulation features in any program or website where you can type text. After you launch the app you’ll probably want to jump over to the System Tray icon where you can pull up the settings to configure the keyboard shortcut that displays the menu. By default the shortcut is set to Control+Numpad0.
After you’ve got it ready just highlight some text and press the keyboard shortcut. From the menu that appears you’ll be able to sort the text, remove blank lines, change text case, align text, remove HTML, and more. I’ve found this to be a great utility to have, but the challenge is remembering that it’s always there for you to use.
