"We live in a society of social networks and Twitter pages and Facebook. That's fine and stuff, but you know, we have contact with our work associates, our family, our friends and it seems like half the time we're more preoccupied with our phone and other things going on instead of the actual relationships we have in front of us," he said at a press conference on Dec. 2.

| U.S. Defense Department Developing Super Precise Drone Posted: 08 Dec 2012 05:30 PM PST
It can hover in place, much like a Harrier jet, and can fly like standard UAVs. What makes this drone even more special is its "precise autonomous payload placement."

| How to Use Creative Commons Visuals on Your Site Posted: 08 Dec 2012 04:58 PM PST
Creative Commons licensing permits bloggers and journalists access to photos taken by other people, for absolutely no charge. It's a great way to engage readers with more visually interesting content, and to expose photographers' work to a new audience. But there are many rules and regulations you must follow to use the photos for free and without risking liability -- a small price to pay. It can get a little tricky, so familiari… More About: Creative Commons license, copyright, copyright law, photography  |

| 2013 Chevy Spark Is Packed with Cool Tech Posted: 08 Dec 2012 08:57 AM PST
At first glance, the Spark has the kind of design you'll either love or hate. Its tall, squat appearance looks cute to me. Even if you don't like its odd profile, this 5-door hatchback's shape is practical, allowing its interior to be roomy enough for a 6'3" guy like me. And its price is right: The lowest-priced Spark is $12,185 (I assume that includes tires, a steering wheel and not much else), making it one of the cheapest… More About: Chevy Spark, apps, cars, gps, reviews  |
