Those crates are a great way to convert a skateboard into a scooter. Well, not really, not by today's standards. But for some reason many fathers bought into the idea some 50 years ago.

Back in my day, the ban hammer would be wielded if one asked, "Will it blend?"

I'm thinking the 52-hour endurance spec reflects a completely unladen airframe under ideal conditions. Strap on a 550-pound sensor payload and the endurance is likely cut in half.

I wonder if a multi-camera setup could be achieved (each on a separate wireless frequency), all feeding into a video mixer. Audio would be another dimension to the challenge.

Gusty winds caused by news copters?

$5/month does not provide revenue for such purchases. What are they mining?

Bird poop.

Not when you're tanked up on Red Bull.

And then 3 times out of 5 the battery will have insufficient charge when needed, forcing use of a manual driver (as experienced with my B&D powered scissors).

When the Apple Newton was killed, they said mobile handheld computing devices would never sell again.

So now sales tax will be collected on every purchase?

And soon the Space Station will be needing to dodge these little guys too.

I'm thinking Foxconn needs a process to quickly sort out those who are incapable from those who are capable. Those who are capable likely feel good about meeting expectations. They are honored to be selected for the iPhone 5 team. Those who are incapable could work on the iPad or MBPs, and there they would also…

My wife was on a jury for a murder case wherein video from a security camera was key evidence. The footage was such low quality, it left much open to debate.

That's what went through my mind as I read this review. Fans and air conditioner units have motors, so inductance and inrush current may need to be considered. Like, consider how X10 has appliance modules that are different than lamp modules. Even if these Belcan modules could switch the A/C on and off, you…

I just checked with Lenovo support: that H520s employs a 240W power supply, which IMHO is under-spec for that system.

I'd want to boot from it. I'm thinking it may be awhile before such is possible.

Then obviously its time for Apple to offer "micro thunderbolt" ports on its new products. Don't worry, Apple will offer an adapter for $49.

Really good tips. Here's a few more:

My neighbor has a warehouse full of whale oil for use in his hurricane lamps. He never could get used to the ungodly harsh glow of incandescent lighting. He thinks whales are more organic.
