Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one.

Apple is working on an Internet television service that would offer 25 channels including three of the major broadcast networks, according to a report from theWall Street Journal.

The service would feature ABC, CBS and Fox as well as a variety of cable channels including ESPN and FX for between $30 and $40 per month, according to the report. Subscribers would be able to access the service on Apple's mobile devices as well as the company's set-top box, Apple TV.

Theoretically, identity thieves could break into iPhones or other biometrically protected technology using the method.

After this talk, politicians will presumably wear gloves when talking in public,
