Introducing Particle's third generation of development kits – the Argon, Boron, and Xenon
I love the boards from Particle. Back from their first Spark, which over time became the Photon, for Wifi and IoT, and then the cellular (IIRC I backed that as a kickstarter), and now it seems they moved into Mesh - nice work folks!

AT&T "You Will" Commercials (high quality)
AT&T got these advertisement progrnostications so wrong and yet so right.

Given the era we're in, We are dangerously close to the point where a lot of things are going to be invented and created that'll be similar enough for those stupid copyright trolls to sue nearly everybody 😕
