Secom’s Internet of Things security drone has a neat twist: it not only records images of intruders but it will [actually chase](http://www.engadget.com/2015/12/13/security-drone-chases-intruders/) them to get better pictures of faces or license plates. There is one unfortunate catch. The drone has a maximum speed of just 6 mph… As if parenting teens wasn’t tough enough, Microsoft might build [a life size hologram](http://venturebeat.com/2015/12/12/microsoft-could-build-a-life-sized-cortana-for-hololens/) of virtual assistant Cortana for its augmented reality headset … Apple’s new battery case is ugly, like [Quasimodo ugly](http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2015/12/the_iphone_smart_battery_case_is_a_very_bad_omen_for_apple.1.html) but it’s still just a battery case. Given the response online you would think Cupertino did something truly terrible like insert popup ads in the App Store or something. Oh, wait, [it did do that](http://techcrunch.com/2015/12/11/apple-pushes-users-to-upgrade-their-iphones-via-pop-up-ads-in-the-app-store/)… If you’ll just ignore the politics of it all, the Cruz for President campaign is a [technological marvel ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/cruz-campaign-credits-psychological-data-and-analytics-for-its-rising-success/2015/12/13/4cb0baf8-9dc5-11e5-bce4-708fe33e3288_story.html)complete with state of the art data and behavioral science research and even “geo-fencing” for clever micro targeting campaigns. Think of the possibilities if Cruz actually believed in science … Some guy spent [two years of his life](http://io9.com/batman-66-labels-collects-every-silly-labeled-device-1747414104) painstakingly screen-scraping every single episode of the campy 1966 TV show ‘Batman’ so he could catalog all of the weird labels. C’mon, of course Catwoman straddling a shiny purple rocket pointed at an open window is a ‘getaway rocket’…

Self-Driving Cars: Lidar, the $75k gadget that allows Google’s self-driving cars to see the road – it’s the goofy looking bump on the roof above – is getting a big price cut. New $250 units could mean autonomy for almost every car. Read at Washington Post [here](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2015/12/04/the-75000-problem-for-self-driving-cars-is-going-away/)

Blockchain: According to economist/raconteur John Mauldin, Bitcoin 2.0 has a better chance of becoming the world reserve currency than the Chinese yuan. Read at Business Insider [here](http://www.businessinsider.com/china-yuan-not-close-to-reserve-currency-2015-12)

Biotech: Imagine a world where scientists create engineered organisms to clean-up oil spills or remove the acidity from soil. That world is entirely possible with gene-editing.

Machine Learning: A new type of artificial intelligence eschews deep neural networks for Bayesian Programming Language to help machines learn like humans, fast.

Augmented Reality: Magic Leap has put out some very impressive demos but it still doesn’t have a product and now it’s raising another $827 million in funding. Read at Fortune [here](http://fortune.com/2015/12/09/google-backed-magic-leap-raising-827-million/)

Biotech: A startup wants to turn red blood cells into drug delivery vehicles to target hard-to-treat diseases. The genetic modification could open up many new therapies.

Health Sciences: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Google will build cost effective surgical robots that will use machine learning to tell surgeons where they should make incisions. Read Reuters [here](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-alphabet-johnson-johnson-robots-idUSKBN0TT1SB20151210)
