Even so, even if you bought the most expensive model for Christmas in 2013, it's a raw deal simply because the hardware profile is that of a fixed appliance. At that price, other high-end professional workstations ship with beneficial

It's just that it's not worth $4,000 or even $3,000. The trashcan is cool, despite looking like a trashcan, but way too expensive for what you get. Something at that price needs to last, and permit upgrades. For what you get, and

Personally, I feel as though modern acceptable standards of near-immediate obsolescence as normal are kind of depressing and abnormal. Seeing technology become outdated after 3-4 years is kind of amazing in all the wrong ways. Don't ge

Not entirely true. At 200 meters in altitude, many quad-copters under 5 kilograms are pretty much inaudible. With a telephoto lens, and 40 minuets of flight time inbound, 15 minutes of loitering, and 40 minutes of return flight, you could p
