If someone tries to use this as an excuse to limit the use of such technology to exclusively the military or government law enforcement, I will hunt them down and kick them in the shin. This is simply a new but still entirely relevant aspect of our Right to bear arms.
Or be annoying to our neighbors. Or cats.
But seriously, limit access to semtex and this isn’t such a big deal. Drones aren’t going away. Remember when cell phones first came out, how annoying everyone thought those were with their loud ass ring tones? We got over it.
The Oscar-eligible “Olive” is the first theater-ready film to be shot entirely with a smartphone. Here’s how it was done.
Well, the Japanese have been writing full length books on their cell phones for years now. I guess movies was just the next logical step.
The MPAA is getting pretty desperate, it seems. MPAA boss Chris Dodd was out trying to defend censoring the internet this week by using China as an example of why censorship isn’t a problem. It’s kind of shocking, really.
“When the Chinese told Google that they had to block sites or they couldn’t do [business] in their country, they managed to figure out how to block sites.”Is that really what Chris Dodd wants the US government to aspire to? To setting up its own Great Firewall?
His other comments were almost as ridiculous:“How do you justify a search engine providing for someone to go and steal something?” he asked rhetorically in a recent interview at the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers conference. “A guy that drives the getaway car didn’t rob the bank necessarily, but they got you to the bank and they got you out of it, so they are accessories in my view.”But that completely misunderstands and misrepresents the situation. Google isn’t the driver. Google is the car manufacturer. Do we sue Ford as an accessory?
Stanford researchers have used nanoparticles of a copper compound to develop a high-power battery electrode that is so inexpensive to make, so efficient and so durable that it could be used to build batteries big enough for economical large-scale energy storage on the electrical grid – something researchers have sought for years.
