  • CES Showstoppers: All the best product announcements

    I am looking for an outdoor camera with light and motion detection to replace one of my spotlights on the eve of my house.  It needs to be AC powered with wireless communication.  The location is hard to reach, so battery powered cameras are not a good solution.

    I havent seen any systems that match these specs.  Seems like a no brainer to me.

  • Ad firms losing 'hundreds of millions' after Apple clamps down on Safari tracking

    Whenever I can, I send the following message to sites that gripe about ad Blockers:

    Dear [fill in the blank],

    You have noted that I have an ad blocker and have asked me to Whitelist your site.  The answer is NO, I WILL NOT.

    The reason is simple.  The pervasive popup adds are an extreme nuisance and represent an invasion of my privacy by improperly using my browsing information.

    I have no desire to put you out of business, nor do I object to "honest" advertising.  You have plenty of space on your site to place legitimate ads.  Please do so and quit pestering me with the false comment that you need the popup adds to survive.

  • Apple shares iPhone 7 ad with focus on dual-cameras, water resistance

    The add is about low light level photography with water resistence thrown in.  Check all the photos.  They are all low light level.  That is when only the rods (?) in the eye are active and they see only B/W.
