Top 10 Tech This Week (03/30/2013)

The other big tech announcement of the week was T-Mobile dropping contracts to offer just pre-paid plans.

But there was much more. This week we covered two exciting scientific projects: one to build a human-powered helicopter, and another to create an ultra-thin invisibility cloak. Oh, we also had a chance to see the most realistic 3D rendering of a human face ever, and it looks like we'll soon finally be able to use electronics during take-off and landing…
