The folks at Team BlackSheep put together a “Christmas Special” video with their quadcopter and GoPro camera. While there are few details about the group, the equipment used, or whether or not the French police are investigating, it’s fun to watch as they land on a truck in traffic, hover close to the street with people taking pictures, and follow a French police car up until the point when they are apparently spotted. Then, they make their hasty retreat. Check it out: Here’s a separate video of a cool homemade quadcopter with a GoPro attached: Related articles ‘Team Black Sheep’ Troll French Police…

The original idea was a good one. With internet speeds improving and becoming more abundant, why carry around all of your data and the bulky hard drives necessary to maintain them? Why not store just about everything on the cloud and create machines that could be easily transported everywhere to do nearly everything that can be done by a desktop computer? That was what propelled Asus and other manufacturers to start the netbook revolution in 2007. Their Eee PC was a landmark development in the world of computing, bringing functionality and form to a compact computer that could fill most of our needs…

If you ever wonder what it would be like to see the world through the eyes of your cat or dog, you now can with the National Geographic camera that ties around the neck of your pet, like a collar, and allows you to see everything at their level. …

There’s something particularly creepy about Google Now that not only makes it superior to Siri and other voice- and location-based digital personal assistants, it makes it worrisome to those who take their privacy seriously. For the first time, we get to see the full breadth of how much Google really knows about us as individuals. It knows us from our Gmail accounts. It tracks our activities online. It knows where we are at any given moment. It’s aware of our real-world activities. In essence, it knows more about us than many of our significant others. That should be a little disconcerting. Strangely,…

The world of technology in general is often associated with computers and geeks behind them typing away at equations. The jobs in the tech sector are often considered boring and without risk. Some are riskier than others. For most, the video below would fall under the category of “Nope”. As you can see from the image above, any fear of heights would prohibit you from doing this job. Better stick to computers and equations. …

Make your music dance with speakers filled with colorful water that will swish to the vibrations of the sound from the attached speakers. Speakers have almost become a necessity to own, especially with the various gadgets and laptops we collect like Barbie’s, even if they come with built-in speakers they most certainly do not do audio any justice. …

At first when I saw this I had to scratch my head, wondering what it was, the image alone is what peaked my interest and then I found out that this is a vehicle of sorts and was awed by its conception. Surprisingly, the original design began back in 1869 in France and since then has taken an unimaginable design to turn into reality. The motorized monocycle, made in the Netherlands, propels a single rider up to 25 MPH. …

We all enjoy sharing our captured moments through photos especially with our friends and family members and although we share them online it is not quite the same as sharing it with them offline. Yet, crowding around a computer or trying to hook up the proper cables to a T.V. to be able to share the stories that go along with the images can be too much of a hassle. That is why bringing the projector back into style and giving it a new-aged twist for the iPhone will make story-telling of your experiences come to life all the better. …

Hush little lady don’t say a word, Connor’s gonna buy you a pillow that will put you to sleep, okay so I am not a poet, but you sure can buy a pillow that will sing you to sleep, a pillow that has a buried speaker within it and is capable of playing all of your favorite tunes. …

The winter snow has been scarce this year but now it is coming in harsh with a bang and though the Christmas lights have dimmed for another year, a cozy blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and left over cookies that Santa didn’t eat are all worthy of dunking, all except one, the one which will keep your hot drink hot. …
