Yes and no. Under normal circumstances there's no one on the beach that would take it because I'm surfing on the Outer Beach (4x4 by special permit required or boat)[1]. Outside of summer, there's pretty much no one at any be

In practice, tracking has never been a problem for me. Have you seen the demos of it tracking quad copters?

Less actually. It will loose tracking on a duck dive and on wipe outs. It even has 'barrel mode' so that the camera will keep tracking on your vector should the signal cut out while you're shielded by the wave lip. Haven&#x2

You can't zoom to frame just your face. As I recall, the tightest zoom setting would be your body + 5-10 feet of surrounding area. In a walking test that worked well. I wouldn't use that mode for live action sports through, sinc

The transmitter is normally on your arm (above water) to keep a signal with the base. As soon as it goes underwater the signal is lost. They asked me if I had a floaty on it. So I asked them which floaty? The one you didn't include

I've had the SoloShot 2 for almost a year now. I use it for surfing, but just got a small racing dinghy (RS Aero) and will probably use it for that too. The device paired with the recommended camera works fantastic. If you're us

Well, you got that completely wrong. What would have been correct is: "You could easily have made this point without degrading men." In his story he generalizes men as playing the fool and makes no generalization about women.

The ARM based "Surface" has been replaced by the Intel based Surface 3. Try to keep up with the MS cluster f*k of naming! ;)

They really need to reduce the number of phones they produce. There are so many damn phones models and the numbers / names make no sense. What they need is a surface phone. One phone, three variants. Surface Phone - Low-Mid Range Sur

Had a similar project that monitored CL and sent alerts. Got and C&D, talked to a few lawyers and gave up. At least CL has an alert system now.

>How could it be consensual between all adults? Quite literally, I imagine it would go something like: Do you take this woman to be your wife? I do. Do you take this woman to be your husband's second wife? I do. Do you take this m

I have no problem with polygamy, as long as it is a consensual relationship between all adults involved. The real problem is that government has gotten into the marriage business and it doesn't belong there. The issues you mentioned

Sarcasm? Yes it was; I was just testing a social hypotheses I had.

Con-trail data would match the CO2 and temperature line. It would show another correlation that might call into question the validity of the absolute undeniable fact that CO2's correlation is causation. There are people with simple mi

The thing that scares me is that Google is probably right (my political leanings aside). It's scary because the political machine (the "news" and media) probably gives off a signal that a deep neural network has learned. It

Will this be placed in some sort of public display? It would be cool to see something like this in a science museum.

At the time, I don't think normal users would have called Android better than 'sub-par'. I'll admit that with Material Design and recent OS releases, they've gotten much better, but still many of my non-geek frie

Awesome start! I wanted to build something like this but Netflix shut down their API. Here's a list of features I'd like to see if it helps any. I'd like to be able to put movies into three groups, want to watch (watch queu

If one's argument is that we don't know enough about what really drives our climate to make these types of predictions, why would one then turn around and make a prediction? Also, using the phrase "global warming denialist&qu

Certainly a neat gadget, but here's the part that blows me away... >They’ll never out-sexy the Apple Watch or Surface Pro 3 . That, coming from macworld.com, has me wondering if hell just froze over.

It looks like image stabilization will be difficult with this design. The camera seems to be at the bottom of a pendulum that swings as the drone moves about. Perhaps that's why the promo video shows very little actual footage.

These are cool, but... 1) 20 minutes is great if your sole purpose is getting video, but not if your sole purpose is surfing (let's say). A surf session might be 2 hours. Taking a break to put your dead flying camera away in the midd

I too have a WP. However, it's become wearisome to figure out what is content and what is actionable. There are other issues, but they clearly started something with flat design. Material Design by Google looks great to my eye and it

Apple devs love money like everyone else, so you should consider the benefits of adding support for WP. 1 - There's a lot less completion in the windows store. 2 - You're bringing fire to cavemen, it doesn't need to be pixel

The reason I said this is that Windows 10 universal apps compile to one binary (as MS claims) and how would this binary run on ARM chips? Perhaps I'm wrong, but I assume it would need something like this... http://www.engadg

I thought so too, but consider that "E" is what most consumers expect for an icon. "Edge" keeps that going.
