This is cool. When I was fighting forest fires back in the day, I worked on a couple fires where they used the K-max. It’s a funky helicopter, and that would be very interesting to see that aircraft as a UAV for resupply.
I really think this concept is one that could […]

Like with contractors, drones have been the ‘new thing’ that the military has been trying figure out. Now a kid who is really good at video games, could essentially fly these drones. Hell, I think drone piloting will only become easier and more user friendly in the future. We will also see drones […]

Interesting deal between Google and China. Although the real winner here will be China’s search engine called Baidu. You can bet that any telecom stuff that Google was planning on doing in China, will probably suffer as well.

”Do not engage in military operations; that will lead to defeat. Do not take land from a peasant. Emphasize nationalism rather than communism. Do not antagonize anyone if you can avoid it. Be selective in your violence. If an assassination is necessary, use a knife, not a rifle or grenade. It is too easy […]

How cool would that be, to get a degree in UAV piloting? Although I do think that a four year degree is a little excessive for the task. I do think UAV’s will become easier to fly and will be more intelligent as time goes by. I could see maybe a two year degree […]

Ok, this is a challenge to Zynga and MapItApps or even Raytheon. I have laid out the concept of the Bounty Hunter Mobile Application or BMHA, and all of these companies are the ones who could actually give life to it.
You might have heard about the first company, through their very famous website games like Mafia Wars or Farmville. (man, do […]
