Warning: paywall
It seems too easy to blame these on north Korea. I get it that they have motive and desire, but considering their poor operational security it would not be too far fetched to think someone is framing things to look like them.

Why Donald Trump Is Flailing
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/06/why_donald_trump_is_flailing.html
So, I think we are going to see more of these tantrums from trump, especially as the pressures of the race increase. I think these will grow to epic proportions that even the most devout republican will finally give up. The email thing, or any number of former things, will turn a good portion of people against her. If so, do Ted Cruz and/or Berne Sanders try to convince Americans to write in their names? If so, does anyone get a majority? If so, does Paul Ryan become the next president?
Marginal insults for trump

Whatever... The real thing will be if she can twist him around in any debates that might happen. That is really her only hope. If the email thing blows up, which I think the Republican party is timing things for the general election, she is doomed.

Drones for search and rescue
Drones build rope bridge that humans can cross.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34327364
Pretty cool. Eventually you could use an IR beam to mark the points at which you need to anchor the bridge. The drone could fly above, below, and alongside the mark to get geospatial location. (Just a thought)
