When you do leave your home or office, you might go to the market occasionally for fresh fruit
and vegetables. Your fresh food experience might improve thanks to new
sensors made at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. These sensors can figure out when fruits and veggies are getting too
ripe. The sensors work by detecting ethylene, a gas that helps plants ripen.
Finally, when you’re not at the market or virtually visiting world heritage sites, take a look
at this photo of lightning over a
rainbow during a storm in China. You can relax and check it out while you’re
munching on your fresh fruit and veggies.
Each week we publish Fridaygram, featuring stuff from Google and beyond that you
might have missed during the week. Fridaygram items aren't necessarily related to developer
topics; they’re just interesting to us nerds. This week we’re giving a special shout out to
HyperCard
on its (approximate) 25th anniversary. HyperCard, you were awesome.
