Genius use of technology at work in the Czech Republic near the Hotel Marcincak in Mikulov. The sign pretty much sums it up. You piss in public here and they will upload the video from surveillance cameras to Youtube.
Sure, at first glance, the DJI S900 looks a lot like the S800. But there are some nice improvements with this hexacopter. Some of the major improvements include retractable landing gear, carbon fiber arms (more strength and less weight), a removable upper center board, spark-proof electrical connectors (about time), folding…

It looks as if the London Met police will start wearing cameras that record their day-to-day life. These police wearable cameras will be tested in 10 London boroughs with a batch of 500 cameras. I am all for it, and think it will do a few things that are quite…
Pyle Audio has been launching one product after another this last year. Their latest gadget is aimed straight at the GoPro crowd. The Pyle eXpo is a Hi-Speed HD Action Camera. The specs are pretty good, the price point is fair, it has a 2-inch LCD display on the back,…
