Damn, technology's changing quickly.

Yeah that's some absurd resolution. Reminds me of Enemy of The State. That resolution could prevent or catch some serious crimes in the act.

that rocks, but i hope nobody is looking at my house, i might scare them.

Speaking of technology, someone convince me that this is worth $235 to purchase new from Amazon: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...ryName=pa_VoiceRecorders_DigitalVoiceRecorder

My smaller Panasonic recorder doesn't have enough memory, and Sony is the only brand with the memory chip thing on their voice recorders.

And to the goddamn Sony engineers and web designers, fuck you all something fierce for putting all this info for a product that your reps know absolutely nothing about, is not available, has no release date, and is not in your computer database: http://b2b.sony.com/Solutions/produ...fied:Home:Audio/Video:Digital Voice Recorders

I swear they're teasing me with this shit. Even a google search turns up ZERO results. But I have 6 pages of technical specifications and similarsuch from Sony's business site. :reallynothappyface:

Okay, really, I'm getting it anyway, so don't waste your time actually trying to convice me or anything (not that you would anyway). I just want the newer, BETTER one, that apparently doesn't exist. But it's all over Sony's website. I swear, it's the fucking engineers. Somehow, I'm going to blame all of this on them.

Yo that is nucking futs. I definately have to check that place out in RL.

Once they get that thing to real time it'll be cool. The images in my area are old. It shows acres of fields behind my place. But now its jam packed with big houses in various shades of baby puke.

1gig transflash in my cellphone.... I can record a shitload of voice data. Plus I already own the phone.

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

That's very cool. It seriously got within a hundred or so feet of the Sears Tower's communications antennas, with high res.

 

[JayC9]

That's cool, can you see that guy in a beret munching down on a baguette.
