The new ROAM-e $400 selfie-drone has a rather unfortunate design

Described by The Verge as the “flying phallus” (I think that name […]

EyeFi to drop support for some cards. They will ‘magically’ stop working on September 16, 2016

I’m a bit disappointed by this one.  I’ve been a huge fan of Eye-Fi cards for several years and own and use several cards. Now, they’re taking planned obsolescence to a whole new level by effectively making most of their past products useless in one fell swoop. According to an email I received from Eye-Fi […]

Snapchat’s “lenses” contain a whole lot of cool technology

Snapchat might be quite a silly and frivolous app to some people, while others live on it.  Regardless of your thoughts on its practical application, it employs some pretty serious technology in order to be able to do what it does with its “lenses”, or filters as most people call them. From the same facial recognition principles […]
