Monday, November 5th, 2012 – running time 03:38

Two different visions for protecting your iPhone from theft, and a robot that went through a hurricane to report storm data.

Then, we check out two different approaches to the same concept of preventing iPhone theft, an Apple patented anti-theft feature and an anti-theft iPhone case.
