This Wearable Helicopter Would Help You Jump
Check out Lunavity, a sort of wearable helicopter that’s supposed to help you jump. Right off the bat, I don’t believe in this product—it’s never, ever going to be a thing. But it’s cool.

PCalc, a Terrific Calculator App for iOS, is Apple's App of the Day
The best iOS calculator I’ve ever used is PCalc from James Thomson (TLA Systems).. By best, I don’t mean just good looks.
