    AR Copter

    Wasn't sure where to put this one, so mods feel free to move to the appropriate category.

    One of the guys at work just picked up one of these:

    AR.Drone Parrot - First quadricopter that can be controlled by an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad


    I think the thing could be useful. It's got cameras on board and you can see everything through your Iphone. After seeing him fly his around the dealership here, I want one.

    I would personally, rather have that helicopter with a few attachments you posted on G+ last week

    The parrot AR Drone is rather limited in operating space... IMO, you have to be to close to be able to use it effectively... Maybe as a close range non line of sight camera, but nothing more really... Red johns you could mount a rifle on the thing and light up something if needed... THAT would be fun... Imagine that at the range :P
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    Yes, me too. Btw, don't look for me on G+, Facebook and any other social network systems as I cancelled my account on ALL of them.

    How come you cancelled them?

    I find nothing to do on social networks and I don't need to know someone is taking a piss.

    Sorry for the hijack, Izzy.
