    Iran has released 10 US sailors held for entering its territorial waters, in a swift resolution of an incident that tested newly improved US-Iranian ties.
    The US expressed its gratitude to Iran for freeing the sailors one day after they were detained when their vessel broke down in the Gulf.
    Iranian state media said the group was released after apologising.
    It comes at a sensitive time, as the US and Iran try to implement the deal on Iran's nuclear activities.
    The incursion was "unintentional", a statement from the Revolutionary Guards quoted by state media said.

  4. CES 2016: MyCaptR app 3D-scans homes using an iPad
    A start-up company in a promotion is developing an app to a news reporter that can 3D-scan a room in about three minutes.
    This was accually.... When you think about what is it used for: it might sound not that impressive because it’s just for scanning the room but when you think about it again, it is actually a useful app because move to another house you may want to get new furniture for the new house. In that case you need to measure how wide or long is the room. So a guy from turkey designed a app which can measure that in about 3 minutes and this was a time-saver app.

    “Our Fault... Our Mistake”

    An American ship entered in Iran's territory so the Iranians captured those soldiers into their ship. One of the very scared soldiers told that it was their fault and apologized. After hearing this new the U.S. Government told them that they didn't even went into their territory. Basically they kept insisting. They even told that it wasn't even clear if the man apologized or not. I think U.S. is trying to act like the 'harsh one' or the one who doesn't need to apologize. I bet they're lying about it. They're biased.
