It’s no secret that military drones predate the 21st century. But it’s still amazing to see illustrations of unmanned aerial vehicles that are nearly a century old. Like this drone command center from 1924, with pilots sitting 500 miles away from the battlefield. It’s an image that’s strikingly similar to the drone pilots of today.

AllCast was one of the first Chromecast applications that aimed to expand the functionality of this $35 dongle. It allowed users to beam local content from their devices to any TV that had Chromecast plugged in, though at the time Google hadn’t opened up the SDK to all developers so it released an update for the dongle which killed this feature. Once the Chromecast SDK went live, AllCast was updated with its core feature and it once again began allowing users to beam any content from their Android devices to the dongle.
Initially though the app didn’t exactly have quite an appealing user interface, but now it does. Developer Koushik Dutta has completely revamped the user interface, its a major redesign, with tabbed browsing of content and even a new slide out navigation menu. The color scheme has been overhauled as well, so the app is now much more easier on the eyes.
Apart from the redesign and the splash of color, Dutta has also added Muzei support. AllCast will now display Muzei extensions as sources for content, the opportunities are boundless since support is quite widespread. The updated AllCast application for Android is live and available for download through the Google Play Store.
Chromecast AllCast App Gets A New UI And Muzei Support original content from Ubergizmo.

The Best Electric Power Washer will clean away those dreary winter reminders
Posted in: Today's Chili
In a town where there is snow and ice in abundance, there is also a large quantity of salt on everything. It gets on cars, shoes, and anything that is near the road. So very soon, the time for spring cleaning will be near, and we will all want to remove any traces that winter may have left behind.
If you want to take on the warmer months with a clean house inside and out, then you’re going to need more than regular cleaning supplies. Lots of things are readily available to take care of indoor chores, but when it comes to the exterior, things are a far more difficult. You’re going to need a power washer, and if you’d prefer not to keep renting one over and over, then the Best Electric Power Washer may do you some good. This can take grime off of siding, and paint off of a cement block.
It has an 1800-watt motor that can pump out 1 and ¾ gallons per minute. This will be far faster and more efficient than a regular garden hose. There are two removable tanks that will let you use different cleaning agents, or rapid fire clean. There is a 20 foot long hose that has a space to be neatly coiled on the power washer, and the wand is 34”. The power cord is 35 feet so you’ll have plenty of give to get around the house. This will cost you around $200, and is likely to be cheaper than renting every Spring.
Available for purchase on Hammacher

The trend in external battery packs for charging smartphones and other small devices is to make them smaller and more compact. The Coi+ Power Brick doesn’t care about being tiny. It cares about being bumpy — bumpy enough to offer a base for building Lego creations on top.
The 4,200 mAh power pack comes with four slanted official Lego bricks that can be attached to turn the device into a stand for your phone. Chances are, if you’re interested in buying this, you already have a Lego stash of your own to add onto it. You could build a little throne and set your iPhone in it, or turn it into a landing pad for your “Star Wars” Lego ships.
