Terminator 2 Complete Collector’s Set Proves Technology Is Man’s Downfall

Terminator 2 is a great film. But the Terminator 2 Complete Collector’s Set must be the most obnoxious DVD bundle I’ve ever seen—the epitome of movie studio greed wrapped in one environmentally devastating package. You know how T2 has been released on DVD a bunch of times, and then it came to Blu-ray, and then…

The Axon is a bit of a shocker from Taser. It’s not a “taser” in a traditional sense, but a POV camera cleverly squeezed into a Bluetooth-sized headset. Connecting via 3.5mm jack existing radio systems (like walkie talkies), the video signal appears to piggyback on existing transmissions, allowing remote monitoring and recording of what a…
