Teens react to encyclopedias

ant says...

Bonus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtJagqE7ay8

My parents bought me the cheap Funk and Wagnall(sp?) from a local Albertson store that just opened. We finally got rid of them in 2008 during the nest's remodelling. In the new nest, there were even older Worldbooks left from the previous owners. However, they were worthless according to eBay!

I spent umpteen hours thumbing through and reading World Book and Childcraft encyclopedias we had.

We had these https://mlmerillat.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/childcraft.jpg
and these http://community.expatica.com/public/classified/96/e5/01/1e2b2_cc12.jpg?c=f8d0

Thanks for the sift as it brought back so many wonderful memories of my youth.

GOT GAMES? (Blog Entry by eric3579)

Phooz says...

Hey! I see a comment from 9 months ago so I figure I'm not too late! Love the old cartridges. My brother and I were always SEGA men ourselves. I have two SEGA Saturn games that I might offload through eBay for a pretty penny. One is Dragonforce worth roughly $150 now and the other is Panzer Dragoon Saga worth roughly $300 or so. These games gave me so much joy and entertainment as a kid and it makes me happy to see that other appreciate them as much to this day! Hope your old games found good homes and are loved.

My thoughts on both counts.
I wonder if there's an ebay market for the tokens. Then they could get something out of them.

Very nice of them to even consider sharing some winnings with nearby degenerates players.

Nixie: Wearable Camera That Can Fly

My_design says...

Do a search on the Proto X or Syncro from Estes. They are great little quads.The Crazyfly doesn't support FPV, they have a small programmable quad (Which is quite an achievement BTW, not to downplay what they have done, and the multiple features make it a pretty cool little platform). But Is not really all that close to the Pixie. They removed all of the plastic from a #19 Keychain FOB Camera(You can find them all over Ebay) to save weight and are placing it on top, it can only record and not broadcast, hence no FPV as shown on the Nixie. The induction charging is very cool, and I don't know much about it but it seems like that would take a long time.
A gauntlet is a much better solution IMO than what Pixie is showing. It can then be used as a home location as well as something for the quad to track. It is also very similar to what AirDog.com is doing with a wrist band.
Thanks for the link on the crazyfly.
FYI, I'm not saying that certain things in the Nixie are impossible (Many of the individual pieces are possible in some form) I'm just saying that as they present it in their video it is not currently possible, nor do I see it being available for purchase by open market consumers within the next say 3 years. But I do think that you will have "Dronie" based quads in several different form factors, including wearable, pretty soon.

I concede many of your points, and don't understand some others, but it would seem that this

*related=http://videosift.com/video/nano-crazyfly-drone

is pretty damn close to the nixie already, except for the slap bands and the pretty cover. Maybe mount it on a gauntlet? Then it could be magnetically assisted in 'landing' on your wrist.
I know the 'crazyfly' isn't autonomous, but good software could make it remotely computer controlled. Close enough for me.

Competition is for Losers: Natural Monopolies Aren't Forced

Trancecoach jokingly says...

It appears that the majority of this thread is confusing what Thiel is calling a "natural monopoly" with a "legal monopoly" or something else.

It wasn't me who called those who think this way "losers," but the so-called "bad businessman," Peter Thiel, who must have gotten "lucky" to become the CEO at PayPal -- who then sold it to EBay -- and then he got "lucky" again with Facebook, and then again when he got the CIA to fund a data analysis company for him, and again with his hedge fund venture capital firm... like the guy who wins the lotto four times.

"Bad" businessman indeed.

The world's first levitating bluetooth speaker

L0cky says...

I'm sure they would have been falling over themselves to mention it if it did. The fact audio quality wasn't even mentioned is a red flag.

But it has a 15 hour battery so it doesn't need charging!

[spoiler]Because it'll be back in the box and listed on ebay in 4[/spoiler]

so the levitation is just a gimmick...it adds nothing to the sound quality itself, correct?
