Thought I would share his video and you will likely see me in a cameo appearance in a segment here.. I love to drive fast and I think you
For the past week I have been reviewing the Sennheiser MKE 600 - Shotgun Microphone. Having several shotgun microphones already in my arsenal, it was nice to see how it compared. I decided to use it with my Cannon 60D as the size of the MKE-600 Shotgun microphone is smaller 20mm in diameter, and 10 inches long versus my other shotgun
Netatmo has received not one, but two, awards this November. One award is for their Weather Station, and the other is for their new Thermostat.

Snapchat is this instant message service that allows you to send a picture or video (up to 10 seconds) to another with captions. When they view the picture or video, it is deleted from the server.

Last week's "Microsoft Fantasy" here on GNC suggested that Microsoft was in danger of fading into irrelevance; that it should retreat to servers and gaming; that it should re-orient its mobile strategy around Android.
