Amazon Launches A Drone Store
First of all, I dislike the use of the term “drone” for simple remote control quadcopters and the like. The word has been turned into something very negative because of our governments use of actual drones. Using the word “drone” to describe a remote controlled toy with a camera on it seems a bit ridiculous. It […]
Czech Republic Sign That Threatens To Post Public Urination To Youtube
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.
DJI’s Latest Drone, The S900, Is Here…
Sure, at first glance, the DJI S900 looks a lot like the S800. But there are some nice improvements with this hexacopter.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Review
Apparently the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera ($65) is all the rage these days. The youngsters buying them all up don’t even remember the original Polaroid style instant cameras of yesteryear. Either way it is really neat to see gadgets of my youth getting recycled. Enough about my nostalgic memories and on to […]

London Police To Start Wearing Cameras
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 helpful. It will keep both […]

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, and looks just like a […]
Lytro Illum Camera
Remember the first version of the Lytro Camera? It had a long rectangular shape and looked nothing like a camera. The idea behind the Lytro Camera technology is that you can take photos and refocus them at a later time. Pretty cool stuff. The first version had a max resolution of 1080×1080 and was just […]
