  • Sony Xperia Z2 Quick Review: Much Better Than the Z1, Especially the Camera

    When my HTC One M7 smartphone ended up as roadkill off my motorcycle, more than a few cars passed over it. I decided to get a Sony Xperia Z1 for a few months before the Z2 came out. Now that it has, I can give you the full details between both models, and how well…

  • Lytro Illum Camera Refocuses on the High End

    When the first Lytro camera was announced, it looked pretty cute, but it was impractical because of its limited options. It was basically just a plaything.

    There are plenty of drones hovering overhead, but I have to say that mounting one of these ultra-high resolution cameras on one will make them very useful for Big Brother. Pretty soon, they’ll be able to spot what you’re having for breakfast from 20,000 feet in the air. Read more @ Technabob

  • Lomo-Copter: The Artsy, Hipster Drone

    There was some uproar about the possibility of using unarmed drones over US soil to locate that cop turned killer fugitive, but maybe that’s because drones have a bad rap because of all of the bombs they’ve been known to drop. Now, engineers at FliteTest are trying to make a kinder, gentler drone, the kind that…
