Uber wants to take your commute to the skies.

Uber is interested in using small planes that can vertically take off for short-haul trips within cities, Uber's head of products Jeff Holden recently told Recode. Holden added that a commercial aircraft could be viable within a decade.

But Uber isn't the only company intrigued by the potential of jets that can take off without a runway — here are 5 others:

1. German company eVolo is working to make its multicopter the future of urban mobility. Called the Volocopter, it has 18 rotors and can fit two people.

The Volocopter is powered by six batteries that allow for 20 minutes of flight, but eVolo is working to get that up to an hour. The company has begun manned testing in Germany and aims to roll out a production model in two years.

The final version of the Volocopter will be able to reach 62 miles per hour. It has 130 independent computers onboard that could allow it to fly autonomously later on.

1. Always tell a new barber how long it's been since your last haircut.

Barbers know how long it takes for hair to grow, so if you tell them how long it has been since your hair was last cut, they can imagine what your hair looked like way back when. From there, you can either tell them that you want it to look the same, or describe how you want it to be different from last time.

2. Tailor your haircut to your face shape.

If you have a rounder face, get a haircut that's tighter on the sides. If you have a longer face, ask for longer hair on the sides and around your temples.

3. Go about a month in between haircuts.

If you have shorter hair, you should go sooner, but if your hair is longer, it's probably fine to wait a month and a half to two months.

There are currently three Tesla vehicles on the road: the original Roadster and its later variations; the Model S sedan; and the Model X SUV.

If all goes according to plan, the mass-market Model 3 sedan will hit the streets in 2017.

As it turns out, I've driven all of Tesla's cars, and I went for a brief ride in a prototype of the Model 3 earlier this year.

They each have their own cool features, but they all share numerous aspects — stuff that you get on each and every Tesla.

Here's a breakdown:

SEE ALSO: Here are the best new features coming to Tesla cars

THE ROADSTER: Tesla's first car was a sexy little two-seater that redefined what an electric car could be. I drove the Roadster in 2010 (it was the Roadster Sport), and I sampled the car again in 2015.

COOLEST FEATURE: Acceleration! Electric cars are fast. The Roadster is fast — The Sport posts 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. There are faster Teslas, but in the Roadster, you really feel the speed.

SECOND COOLEST FEATURE: None! The Roadster was all about proving that a modern electric car didn't have to be a glorified golf cart. Other than that, the Lotus-derived design is a bare-bones sports car that doesn't even have power steering.

Work-from-home jobs may sound like a dream as you hit snooze on your alarm for the third time. They might even be your financial life raft if you're not bringing in enough at your day job or wish you could accelerate the process of debt repayment or saving for that trip you've been salivating over.

The problem is, so many advertised work-from-home jobs are scams. How can you be confident you're not going falling prey to a pyramid scheme or identity theft when you sign up? At the very least, you should research the outfit online by typing the company name + scam into your search engine. Better yet, focus on finding employment with vetted work-from-home options like the ones below.

Gigs you can do from your couch

Many of the legitimate online jobs that can be done from the comfort of your couch don't pay big at first, but some may have the potential to replace or heavily subsidize regular income.

Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a job marketplace looking for humans to do work that computers either can't do or perhaps just aren't as efficient doing. The work is referred to as a Human Intelligence Task or a "HIT." HITs can range from identifying objects in pictures and videos to transcribing recordings or doing some spreadsheet work in Excel. Price points vary and you aren't likely to make much money at first, but users claim that better-paying opportunities open up the more HITs you've completed.

Turkers, as they can be known, are paid in cash and can work a few minutes a day or spend hours completing HITs. It may not be a way to replace your day job income, depending on your current salary, but the supplemental income can help meet financial goals like paying down debt or boosting a nest egg.

Apple At Home Advisor

If you feel confident in your technology and customer service skills, then you may be able to work for Apple from the comfort of your desk as an At Home Advisor. Apple provides training as well as paid time away and product discounts for At Home Advisors. You may even move up to become an At Home Team Manager or At Home Area Manager. You will have less autonomy with this job than with other work-from-home job options, but the competitive pay and discount Apple products may be worth it to you.

Virtual Assistant

Technology has made it easier for entrepreneurs and small business owners to outsource jobs to assistants they may never meet. Zirtual helps connect virtual assistants with business owners who need help in their business or personal lives. You'll need to have experience and pass some testing before Zirtual is willing to work with you. You may be helping with managing schedules, conducting research, booking travel, handling social media, planning meals, buying gifts or a variety of other tasks.

Gigs you can do near home

TaskRabbit

This isn't exactly from the comfort of your own home, but it's a simple way to earn extra cash on the side. TaskRabbit connects those in seeking help with Taskers who are willing to do all sorts of odd jobs. You might be cleaning, helping someone move, standing in line to buy the latest tech gadget or shopping and delivering groceries. TaskRabbit will notify you of jobs nearby and you have control over the jobs you want to complete.

Gigs for the crafty

Etsy

Those creative skills you employ to relax when you get home? You could turn those into your next big moneymaking opportunity. Sites like Etsy enable you to sell your wares without having to man your own website.

Lacey Quale, 30, creator and founder of LaceyPlacey, turned her frustration into a business.

"In 2011, I couldn't find cute pillows anywhere! Hard to imagine now but back then, there was a huge void in the market," Quale says. "So I decided to make my own using bright, colorful fabrics I found online and sell a few on Etsy."

Quale's first pillows sold within hours of her launching her Etsy storefront in 2010 and six months later, she'd generated $10,000 in sales. Today, the storefront now takes up about 20 to 25 hours of time a week and she's even hired some employees to help free up her own time.

Etsy does take a cut with fees like a 3.5 percent transaction fee and a 0.20 percent listing fee. You'll also need to handle shipping, but Etsy does offer discounted pricing on United States Postal Service postage and you can print shipping labels from the site.

With $37 billion in annual revenue, Oracle is one of the world's biggest tech companies. And every year tens of thousands of customers, partners, industry analysts, and journalists descend upon San Francisco for the company's annual OpenWorld tech conference.

It is a pinnacle week for the company's top execs, its two famous CEOs, Safra Catz and Mark Hurd, and its even more famous founder, Larry Ellison, who stepped down from the CEO role in 2014 to become executive chairman and CTO, though he's still very much the leader of the executive triad.

Oracle invited me to spend a full day shadowing Hurd last week at OpenWorld, as he met with customers, analysts and others on the biggest day of the conference.

During the week, Hurd met with nearly 500 people either in individual 1:1 meetings or in small groups, answering their questions, solving problems, issuing reassurances and explaining the company's plans and strategy, all at a surprisingly exhausting pace.

It was a rare close-up look at the hard work a CEO really does to run global tech company.

SEE ALSO: The fabulous life of billionaire Michael Dell, who just completed a $67 billion mega-deal to cement his empire

Our day together started at 8 a.m. at a local Starbucks. Hurd had been up for hours already (since about 4:30 a.m.), working. He always wakes up that early. He warned me to wear comfortable shoes.

See: The truth behind Oracle CEO Mark Hurd's Starbucks addiction

Hurd surprisingly does not travel with an entourage of assistants. He's famous for his memory and doesn't need a lot of hand-holding on his schedule. This day, it looked like he had an entourage but the crowd was mostly me and a PR representative. We were sometimes joined by the top Oracle exec responsible for the whole event and the Oracle exec responsible for a particular roundtable or meeting.

Meeting with customers is clearly one of Hurd's favorite things to do. He was in high spirits, happy and joking with me and others all day. He was funny. He's also a singularly focused guy: sales and operations. He's so oriented toward that, at one point, I mentioned the singer Adele and he quipped, "Now that's productivity! She had one bad breakup and she turned it into a dozen songs."

Honda is seriously diversifying its offerings with the HondaJet, a light-weight aircraft that got approval to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration in December.

The HondaJet has been a $2 billion, 30-years-in-the-making project, according to Forbes. But after more than 3,000 hours of flight testing in 70 locations, Michimasa Fujino, the founding president and CEO of the Honda Aircraft Company, got the HondaJet off the ground.

The HondaJet received Part 23 certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) December 9, giving Honda the go-ahead to put the innovative jet into production. The first US deliveries began December 23, 2015 and European deliveries began in April. It's currently awaiting approval to fly in Canada.

The jet's features rival others in the small aircraft field. Scroll down for a closer look:

SEE ALSO: Uber and Google's Larry Page are just a few interested in vertical take-off jets

The HondaJet is the fastest in its class, reaching a maximum cruise speed of 483 miles per hour at 30,000 feet.

The jet's engines are built over the wings, which reduces the aircraft's noise emission.

The HondaJet is rated the highest in fuel efficiency in its class, requiring just over 160 gallons of fuel for 600 nautical miles long range cruise. Other jets in its class require between 185 to 200 gallons for the same distance.

I love tacos, but I'm also a horrible taco snob. I only like mine served off a truck in a parking lot in Los Angeles. I want them to be small, tasty, and very, very cheap. 

(Although I admit that I agree with Anthony Bourdain that we shouldn't just assume that all Mexican cuisine should be bargain-oriented; some more respect from our wallets is probably overdue.)

I spent the better part of a decade eating off taco trucks in LA, and in 2007, I found MY truck: Tacos La Estrella, always parked at a gas station on Colorado Boulevard in LA's Eagle Rock neighborhood, northeast of Downtown.

Then I moved back to New York. "You will never have good tacos again," people warned me, ominously. Yes, when I lived in NYC a decade earlier, it was a Mexican-food wasteland. But surely, with the whole food-truck revolution, that had changed?

Nope. Every purported "taco" truck I tried was a massive fail. Tacos too big. Tacos too busy (Lettuce? Shredded cheese? Sloshings of guacamole?). Tacos uncheap. A great taco is less than $2 (sorry, Bourdain, but you're gonna have to give me this one). Period. It's usually significantly less.

Every purveyor I tried — and I got away from the trucks after a while — botched the job. New York taco-makers seemed to think that a simple little piece of street food, made from unwanted cuts of meat and rendered delicious through ingenuity and an obsession with freshness, had to be improved. More meat. Fancier preparations. Ungodly sauces.

There was even an unfortunate enchilada taco that I heard about. Enchiladas and tacos are different things, people.

Great tacos are an art form, every bit as exacting in the details as great sushi, but at a much, much lower price. They are street art. And this art was long ago perfected in Southern California. It should be copied, not modified.

Thankfully, after a year and half of suffering, I got back to LA for the Los Angeles auto show last year. I went straight to the parking lot, fingers crossed that my beloved truck would be there.

It was a gorgeous, sunny day in Eagle Rock.

I headed for the gas station where I used to get my cars smog-checked.

OK, I wasn't getting this car smogged. It was a $400,000 McLaren 675LT supercar that I borrowed for a few days. But what's that in the background?

Here's the review of the car.

The next time you take yourself out to the ball game, don't buy some peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Because firstly, why would you buy peanuts and Cracker Jacks when Cracker Jacks already have peanuts in them? And secondly, food at baseball parks has gotten much, much better since the days when the Sultan of Swat served up dingers with a side of stale popcorn in a box with what we can only assume is an illustration of a child-slave sailor and his loyal attack dog. 

Every modern MLB cathedral has more copious and varied food options than Babu's Dream Cafe, and each park always has a signature dish that simply outplays the rest of the roster. These national-pastime noshes add character and culinary ambience to their respective parks, and in their own little way, can make even the most boring of games (Marlins vs. Padres in mid-August, anyone?) somehow bearable. Now please rise and remove your caps, these are the best foods at every Major League ballpark.

Arizona Diamondbacks: Chase Field

What: Churro dog
Where: Sections 114 and 123

A relatively new addition to the concessions lineup at Chase Field, the ice cream-covered churro dog is, to paraphrase The Big Lebowski, "a churro-based snack for its time and place... it fits right in." Sure, I could have went with the flashy, 18in D-bat corn dog, but honestly, it's a little much. Kind of like a swimming pool in the outfield, right? But the churro dog is the benchmark of desert-baseball de

Atlanta Braves: Turner Field

Baltimore Orioles: Camden Yards

What: Chesapeake fries
Where: The Flying Dog Grill, Section 27

The picturesque, bay-side stadium that Cal Ripken built (but not really, they used city-paid construction workers) actually has some of the best food options of any ballpark in the junior circuit, in a town brimming with surprisingly choice eats. So, this was a tough choice. In the end, this appetizer-meal -- which, in case you were wondering, is waffle fries covered with mounds of fresh Maryland crab dip -- won because of its regional ties (the Old Line State =crabs and Old Bay), and also because it's just really damn good. It's actually the best thing to come out of Charm City since The Wirewrapped. Apologies to Joe Flacco.  

This one goes out to all you busy bees who claim you don't have time to pack yourselves lunch. So you turn to delivery, or the deli across the street, or a frozen meal you'll try to revive in the office microwave, all in the name of saving time.  

But wait! There are a whole bunch of lunches that you can pack at night, or even bleary-eyed in the morning, in just five minutes or less. Which is about the amount of time you spent chatting with Lisa about TPS reports this morning, or listening to Man in the Mirror, so don't tell me you can't deal.

Here are some of our go-to packed lunches, ready in a jiffy.

1. Avocado toast.

It will never get old, and we'll never stop eating it. Bring in some bread, an avocado, and your salt stash, and you're good.

2. A shaved vegetable salad.

It holds up well, even on the second day. Try sturdy vegetables like fennel, celery, and radishes, then toss them with herbs and dressing. Then add a protein, like tinned fish. Kenzi also likes this carrot salad from Orangette. 

3. Almond butter upgrade

Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, chia seeds, sweetener, or spice to that little tub of almond butter you were planning on eating atop toast for lunch.

Arnold Palmer died on Sunday at the age of 87.

The golfing legend known as "The King," won 92 tournaments in his career, including seven major championships.

He was also one of the most likeable characters on the PGA Tour, producing a number of memorable quotes.

From his autograph, to children, and the most important aspects of the game of golf, Palmer always had a quip ready.

Here are some of his most famous quotes.

After a summer of cargo short takedowns, we're left wondering whether there's a way to be both utilitarian and fashionable.

There are at least a handful of companies that are trying. SCOTTeVEST is one of them.

SCOTTeVEST, which has been in the utility clothing scene since 2000, sells men’s and women’s tops that look “normal” from the front, but hold a lot of pockets in the interior. 

SCOTTeVEST sent over one of their newest jackets, the OTG, for review. The jacket's claim to fame: it can supposedly hold an entire laptop in one of its pockets. Here's what I thought.

The nylon exterior of the quilted puffer jacket feels about on par with a Patagonia jacket. The lines you see next to the zipper are actually chest-long pockets, and below there are hand-warming pockets.

As you can see, the insides have a lot of pockets. There are at least 15, some of them layered inside each other.

There are stitched icons that remind you what each pocket is designed to hold. Here, there's a pocket that can fit both pens and small electronics.

There's a number of ways students can show pride in their school, but nothing shows school spirit quite like showing up on gameday. 

Whether it's for a basketball game, football game, or a smaller niche sport, students celebrate their schools by covering themselves head-to-toe in school colors and filling stadium seats. They tailgate long before the games starts and continue celebrating well after it's over. 

The Princeton Review recently released its 2017 college rankings. They had over 140,000 students fill out a survey containing more than 80 questions. One question was, "How popular are intercollegiate sports at your school?" From those results, they determined the 20 schools where "Students Pack the Stadiums."

Keep reading to find out the 20 colleges with the most school spirit in the country.

As summer fades to fall, rosé's time in the sun is quickly fading. Fortunately, there are some fresh new wine trends on the horizon.

"Trends come and go and people's tastes change,"Devon Broglie, a master sommelier who serves as the wine buyer at Whole Foods, told Business Insider. Broglie says that spotting trends is a mix of careful data collection and trusting his gut. With years of experience in the wine industry, he has learned how to spot completely fresh ideas that make sense for “intangible” reasons, and bet on these before they become big.

Broglie is one of just 230 people in the world that has attained the title of master sommelier, and he's the only master somm curating a grocery store's wine selection. 

Here are four trends that the master somm says are about to blow up in a big way:

SEE ALSO: A master sommelier told us how much you really need to spend to get a good bottle of wine — and it's less than you'd think

1. Canned wine

Canned wine sales have more than doubled in the past year, reaching $6.4 million in sales.

"It makes all the sense in the world," says Broglie. "Accessibility, affordability, recyclability, the convenience of single serving — all these things. With wine, we were noticing that people just want to be less stuffy about everything." 

RAW Embed

Broglie helped Whole Foods jump on the canned wine trend when it was in its infancy. The retailer began selling Presto sparkling wine (already a best-seller) in a can two years ago, and named canned wine as a trend to watch out for in 2016 late last year. 

"People are looking for more convenience, and they're not as caught up with the romance of popping the cork and all these things," says Broglie, who reports he picked up on the opportunity for canned wine to flourish based on wider trends instead of specific data points. "It's about taking a bigger picture view and [realizing], 'You know what? A can is going to work.'" 

What to buy: Infinite Monkey Theorem, a pioneer in the canned wine space which launching a canned non-sparkling wine in 2011.

2. Chilled reds

As summer turns to fall, Broglie has the perfect replacement to sipping rosé on a boat: tailgating with a bottle of chilled red wine. 

"This can play for August, September, October, as you still have warm weather, but you're moving into a cooler time," says Broglie. 

Instead of super-alcoholic, full-bodied, fruity red wines, the best wines to serve slightly chilled are lighter and slightly more acidic. Beaujolais are a good go-to for people intrigued by the idea of a chilled red wine, according to Broglie. 

What to buy: Tendu, a red blend made by Steve Matthiasson bottled in liter bottles.

"The Tendu red blend is perfect right out of an ice cold cooler," says Broglie. "You can pour it into the same Solo cups you're drinking the rest of your tailgating stuff out of." 

3. Sparkling wine

The popularity of Moscato and Prosecco are helping bring about a new era of sparkling wine. From lesser-known wines like cava to the ever-popular Champange, sales of sparkling have up for the last few years. 

"Sparkling wines from all over the world are popular, and people are spending less and less energy believing they're only good for celebration and more and more time using them as a palate starter, an aperitif," says Broglie. 

In other words, sparkling wine isn't just for major events any more — it can be an everyday treat. 

What to buy: Presto sparkling wine, which brings together the canned and sparkling trends. 

Since its inception in 1984, the Turner Prize has been awarded each year to 'an artist under fifty, born, living or working in Britain, for an outstanding exhibition or public presentation of their work anywhere in the world in the previous year.'

The Prize, named after celebrated English painter J.M.W. Turner, has since become one of the most prestigious awards for art in the world— previous nominees include the likes of Damien Hurst and Tracey Emin.

This year's shortlisted artists – Michael Dean, Anthea Hamilton, Helen Marten and Josephine Pryde— have certainly provided some of the world's most striking art pieces.

The exhibition is currently on show at the Tate Britain, with the £25,000 prize to be awarded on December 5. From colossal buttocks to two million pennies, these are this year's most outrageous pieces.

Americans across the country were glued to the first presidential debate in one of the most controversial presidential elections to date. And with nearly half of voters relying on these debates to decide who they are going to vote for in November, there was even more pressure. 

But for some, perhaps out of frustration or maybe boredom, Snapchat filters provided the entertainment they needed to get through the 90-minute debate. 

For those with active Snapchat accounts like me, you might have seen your friends using the social network as a way to post about the debates.

While blockbusters like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Avatar" have demolished box-office records, they're still no match for the heavy hitters of years past when you adjust for inflation.

So for this list, we looked at domestic box-office grosses adjusted for inflation to see what old movies would have made in today's dollars, as calculated by Box Office Mojo. That means there's no "Avatar" on this list.

The original 1977 "Star Wars" comes in high, but not quite first. You might be surprised by some of the other titles.

Even if you have your finances carefully planned in advance, sooner or later you’re going to find yourself needing to earn extra money to get you through college.

I’m going to recommend some money making methods that are more entrepreneurial than job-related.

The problem with holding a job in college is that they typically pay no better than minimum wage, which forces you to work long hours that cut into your study time.

I’m also not going to recommend some of the standard make-money-in-college ideas, like filling out surveys, donating blood, or selling on eBay. Most of those efforts produce very limited income, and get old in a hurry.

Instead, I’m going to make recommendations that can play into your natural talents, provide you with a flexible schedule, and hold the potential to earn a lot more money than a minimum-wage job. And some of them even have the potential to grow into businesses that you can continue after graduation.

Good deal? Check these out…

1. Tutor

Being a tutor can be especially lucrative in a college community. This is because you will be able to provide your services not only to college students, but also to local high school and elementary school students. In many markets you can learn at least $30 per hour.

Another advantage is that the subject areas you can cover are pretty broad. The greatest demand is usually for math and science, but you can also tutor in writing and reading, as well as history and soft sciences. If you’re bilingual, you may even be able to tutor in languages, or with English as a second language.

Tutors don’t typically require any kind of special education or licensing. You can market your services through the various departments around the campus, as well as local high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools. A simple flyer showing your subject areas, geographic range and a personal description can do the job. You can also include your hourly fee, but that can work for or against you, depending on how competitive your fee is compared to what others are offering.

In addition to high pay, you can have control over your work schedule, as well as where it is you will commute to (services are generally provided at the student’s home, but you can also arrange to do it in school or at an agreed-upon neutral site). Still another advantage is that the work runs with the school year, so you’ll be free over summer vacation.

Tiffany Alexy of DivvyInvestments.com tutored while in college. In fact, she tutored two kids in Spanish and three brothers in Chinese! How much did she make? $15-$35 per hour. Not bad it all! It pays to use your skills (in this case, knowing multiple languages) to tutor others.

Pauline Paquin of ReachFinancialIndependence.com also tutored while in college, teaching Spanish and English and earned around $30 per hour. Pauline also put her musical abilities to good use and taught piano for $40 per hour. $40 per hour!

2. Bartending/serving in a high end restaurant or club

You probably have a good idea as to what bartenders and servers do, so I won’t spend any time on that. However, the type of establishment you work in will have a huge impact on how much money you earn. High-end establishments typically come with much higher tip income, while those on the lower end could be no better than minimum wage.

Bartending and serving can also be a good way of blending your social life, at least if you work at establishments that your friends frequent. It also has the benefit of paying daily (or more likely, nightly), since most of your pay comes in cash tips.

The downside is that you may find yourself working when everyone else is out relaxing or playing. For example, dinner shifts tend to be the best for servers, and weekends are generally better paying for bartenders. The work can be tough, but you can probably make more money working two or three shifts per week than you could working for five days a week in a minimum-wage job.

Bartending may require that you complete a bartending course, though there generally are no formal requirements for a server.

3. Babysitting

As ordinary as this sounds, it can actually work quite well for college students. This is because babysitting often involves long periods of low- or no-activity, such as when the kids you are sitting are doing homework or have gone off the bed. The benefit is that this downtime will give you time to do your own homework. In can seem as if you’re getting paid to do your homework, which is no small advantage.

Pay is generally in the $10 and $12 an hour range, but you can get more for special occasions, and sometimes even collect tips over and above regular pay. And since babysitting gigs usually happen on an as-needed basis, you won’t have a grueling schedule to keep. That can make the work easy to blend with your school schedule.

The illegal wildlife trade is one of the largest criminal enterprises on the planet.

In fact, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranks wildlife trafficking alongside the drug trade, arms dealing, and human trafficking in terms of illicit profits. A new report by the US Government Accountability Office estimates that the illegal wildlife trade "is worth an estimated $7 billion to $23 billion annually — and is pushing some animals to the brink of extinction."

Animals are sold as pets, consumed as delicacies, and used to create traditional medicines all around the globe.

Criminal elements engaged in the wildlife trade range from terrorist groups to rogue security forces, but the main driving force behind the trade is transnational organized crime.

That makes trafficking in animals one of the biggest sources of funding for organized crime.

Pangolins like this newborn here are scaly mammals that many think are on their way to extinction because of trafficking. They're considered delicacies and their scales and blood are used in Chinese medicine.

Facebook's Slack competitor for businesses will be publicly available next month and charge per monthly active user, The Information reported on Tuesday.

The enterprise messaging platform, which is called Facebook at Work, has been in closed beta since last January.

Business Insider reported in May that Facebook at Work would be made commercially available by the end of this summer or in the fall.

Previous reports said Facebook planned to only charge for premium features, like integrations with third-party apps. But one company testing the service that Business Insider talked to in May said that companies would pay a per-user, per-month fee. They had been quoted a cost between $1 to $5 a user by Facebook.

Here are some pictures of the service, which we originally ran last May.
