content: Quote from: miguelvp on July 13, 2015, 08:33:53 amI highly doubt it was an accident. Not sure how I feel about that actually.I know Dave support the notion that "more women should be in tech." So yea.....technically she is "in" tech?Looks like someone is testing to see if they can up their views.Sex sells Dave.

content: Every time the marketingdronedummy mentioned Intel i7 I face palmed. Now my face hurtsI understand he is there to promote the crap out of Intel, but come on.. Like the drone would have instantly crashed if it was powered by AMD or any other Chip manufacturer.Everything the drone is doing can probably be done on a raspberry Pi if the programming is done efficiently enough.
