Thursday Amazon
announced the winners of its first-ever "AWS IoT Mega Contest," [thenewstack.io] a competitive hardware hacking event held in conjunction with Hackster last month which drew nearly a thousand participants. First place went to an RFID/infrared/light and sound sensor system that
gathers data about a sleeping baby [hackster.io] -- and to
a voice-controlled drone [hackster.io] that sends radio signals using a Raspberry Pi board. "IoT is here now," posted
an Amazon cloud evangelist [amazon.com], just four months after Amazon released their own Internet of Things platform. "People are building devices, sites, and applications that are sophisticated and useful."
